Sophie Nélisse Recaps Episode 2 (VIDEO)

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Yellowjackets Season 2 Episode 2, “Edible Complex.”]

If you felt just a little nauseous watching the cannibalistic feast, think about what it was prefer to shoot it. “The body was so real. It was hard for us to not gag. But we committed and went full out,” reveals Sophie Nélisse, who performs brainy Shauna. She breaks down all of the wilderness weirdness of episode two on tonight’s The Buzz on Yellowjackets. (To discover out which solid member really did lose her lunch, watch the video.)

That Shauna gave permission for the women to eat her greatest good friend was a shock to Nélisse when she first learn the script. “I never thought Shauna would be the first one or the one giving approval,” the actress confesses. “I was expecting her to be more bullied into it. Since Jackie’s death, she’s had this weight lifted off her shoulders. She’s been trying to hold onto Jackie’s essence and friendship and trying to keep her alive but part of her wants to put an end to the story and wants Jackie to be gone. I think there’s something ceremonial [in] that she’s the one making the decision that we’ll finally put Jackie behind us.”

Making the feeding frenzy scene even trippier was that it was intercut with the women dressed equally to goddesses at an imaginary Roman bacchanal. For these pictures, Nélisse sat beside her real-life good good friend, Courtney Eaton, who performs budding priestess Lottie. “By the end of the scene, we were completely feral. I was grabbing out of Courtney’s plate, what she had literally ate and spat out. I was so in character. I think I showered twice that night.”

Eaton and Nélisse’s shut off-camera friendship isn’t mirrored of their characters. And it appears like the strain between them might rise. “Shauna is the one that’s on the fence the most about the cult, the spiritual situation. She finds Lottie a little creepy. She has this instinct inside of her: don’t trust her. The more scary Lottie gets, the more Shauna doesn’t trust her and doesn’t want to partake in the woo-woo situation,” Nélisse says.

As for what’s forward, the actress reveals that Shauna’s being pregnant is making her really feel remoted and afraid, as not one of the different women actually know what she’s experiencing. “This is the most alone Shauna has ever been,” the actress tells us.
