Spoilers below for anyone who hasn’t yet watched Yellowjackets’ latest episode.
With its latest episode, Yellowjackets gave viewers one of its most disturbing juxtapositions yet, with the present-day survivors all together and yukking it up at Lottie’s cult compound, all while Shauna was beating Lottie to the point of near-death in the flashback timeline. The violence on display was beyond extreme, especially for a show that kicked off Season 2 with roasted Jackie serving as a cannibalism buffet, and seemed all the more out of place due to the lack of any perceived angst between the two women later in life. The ‘90s-set ass-whipping also sparked questions about how Lottie could have possibly survived those injuries at the time, and seemingly without suffering any long-term effects. But I think that can all sort of be explained away by the final shot of the episode.
