Spoiler alert! This article comprises spoilers for the Season 1 finale of Yellowjackets and Season 2, Episode 2.
Now that Showtime mystery Yellowjackets is again on air, fanatics can not lend a hand however consider the elephant within the room: deficient, lifeless, frozen Jackie (Ella Purnell), who is stored within the meat shed by means of a grieving, pregnant Shauna (Sophie Nélisse).
Since the beginning of Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson's collection — which interweaves previous scenes and reward scenes — 1996 Jackie used to be not given a present-day Jackie counterpart. And since the 1996 era Jackie plays a pivotal role in Shauna's life, it gave the impression questionable that the present-day timeline excluded her.
Fans of the show know now that Jackie dies within the wilderness, however what's going on along with her corpse in Season 2? Let's dig in.
How did Jackie die in the 'Yellowjackets' Season 1 finale?
Tensions between Shauna and Jackie come to a head when Jackie reads Shauna's diary, knowing that Jeff, her boyfriend, has been dishonest on her with Shauna, her highest friend. Oh, and Shauna's child is Jeff's. After a blowout struggle between the pair, Jackie calls for that Shauna depart the cabin, however the other Yellowjackets flip on Jackie — who were unwilling to assist with chores — and power her outdoor.
Jackie leaves the cabin, sound asleep outdoor for the night. After a lame try at construction a campfire, she snuggles up to her blanket and newfound grudge, slowly snoozing off. Who would've concept that very night time would wind up being the primary snow of the season? Jackie dies in her sleep, freezing to loss of life just out of doors the nice and cozy cabin.
The subsequent morning is similarly brutal and heart-wrenching, as Shauna rushes outdoor, wailing and screaming over Jackie's frozen corpse.
What happened to Jackie in 'Yellowjackets' Season 2?
It's winter in the Canadian wasteland, meaning the bottom is just too frozen to shovel and create a grave for Jackie's body. Instead, her frame is stored in the meat shed for the previous two months since Season 1 concluded. Shauna spends maximum of her time within the meat shed talking to Jackie's frame, attempting to absolve herself of guilt that they by no means reconciled prior to Jackie's death.
The workforce is ravenous, unable to to find sport to hunt or roots to boil in the deep snow. In the Season 2 premiere, Shauna secretly eats Jackie's ear after it falls off all over one of their "girl talk" classes. By episode 2, Shauna is seriously bearing in mind consuming her good friend, particularly along with her being pregnant cravings making her somehow even hungrier than her partners.
However, it is not till Tai makes a decision that Shauna is slightly too attached to Jackie's body that the ladies strive to cremate Jackie — strive being the important thing phrase. While the body is burning, snow falls off a tree branch and grills Jackie's frame on the pyre instead of cremating it. The women wake in the evening, smelling the barbeque, and in an instant devour Jackie's corpse. Oops!
It seems like Jackie could be helpful within the barren region finally ... simply no longer in the way anyone may be expecting.
