Spoilers below for Yellowjackets up to the current installment, “Old Wounds,” so be warned if you haven’t yet watched on Showtime or with a Paramount+ subscription!
Is it truly a Yellowjackets episode if it doesn’t spark at least three new avenues of speculation about the past and current lives of the most harrowed TV survivors who didn’t experience a global apocalypse? Season 2’s fourth episode offered up two of the biggest WTF moments so far just in its final few minutes — Javi being found, and the reveal of Lauren Ambrose’s Adult Van — to say nothing of the 50+ minutes that came before. The episode featured the latest instance of Mari asking about the cabin’s unidentified dripping sounds, and while no direct answer was given, I have a theory about what it could be, and how it could help explain how Javi survived, among other things.
