Let the cannibalism start. Yellowjackets went there within the remaining moments of season 2 episode 2. After Tai realizes Shauna isn’t coping with Jackie’s demise together with her finest pal’s corpse nonetheless round, Jackie’s physique is burned. A pile of snow falls on Jackie’s pyre in the midst of the night time, which prevents her physique from turning to ash. Instead, Jackie’s physique actually roasts.
Shauna and the survivors get up in the midst of the night time to a wierd scent. When they stroll outdoors, they see the smoke simmering from Jackie. “She wants us to,” Shauna says. Shauna takes the primary chunk, and the remaining (besides Coach Ben) comply with, feasting on Jackie after weeks of rationing and hunger. HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Samantha Hanratty about this game-changing second within the woods.
“When she kind of gives the okay for it, I think that there’s this poetic moment of Jackie’s going save her and her baby’s life,” Samantha mentioned about Shauna. “There’s almost something sweet about it. If you can really try to find something sweet about it there is. But I think that for everybody else, it’s so interesting because the way we filmed it with this goddess kind of vibe, and we’re all enjoying ourselves, and then this breaks reality. I think they’re all on this high of like, this is food. This is good food. Once Shauna says she wants us to, it’s like all of them are like, yeah, she wants us to. This is what we need to do, but we needed to get the okay from Shauna first. Not to give too much of a spoiler, but there’s somebody else other than Ben, who may not… Some people are not in their mentally right minds about what’s going on.”
Coach Ben watches in horror as Jackie’s physique is eaten by the survivors. He doesn’t participate and as an alternative goes again contained in the cabin and slams the door. “I think that there’s a lot going on with Ben. If I were him, I’d be thinking if they’re capable of doing that, am I in trouble?” Samantha informed HollywoodLife. “I think that Steven [Krueger] played it so beautifully and had so many different things that we could just see on his face and emotions. I think Ben’s realizing that things have gotten really chaotic and really crazy and past the point of no return at that.”
Samantha admitted that Jackie’s roasted physique “felt like rotisserie chicken.” The actress famous that she’s “predominantly plant-based, so I don’t eat animals.” The physique was manufactured from jackfruit, and Samantha identified that everybody began calling it “Jackie-fruit.” Now that’s an epic pun.
She continued, “It was jackfruit and then they did rice paper and crisped the rice paper so that it kind of gave this rotisserie vibe to it. The parts that were crispy were great. They were good. But some parts had gotten really soggy, so it had that skin-like texture and look to it. I did throw up when we were filming. It was like the last couple of bites, and I couldn’t do it.”
In the wake of Jackie’s demise, Lottie has emerged as a pacesetter amongst the survivors. Many survivors assume that Lottie might have powers, whereas some haven’t been so fast to fall into that rabbit gap. There’s been a debate about whether or not or not the present is leaning right into a supernatural component or if all of the unusual happenings are merely rooted in psychological trauma.
“There could possibly be answers. We filmed some things that might have answers. But who knows when you’ll see those answers,” Samantha teased.
Especially within the case of feasting on Jackie, your thoughts can take advantage of illogical issues logical within the wake of extreme trauma. “Your mind can make you sick. Your mind can heal you. Our minds are so powerful, especially in the state that they’re all in,” the actress mentioned. “But there are certain things that you look at that you’re like, okay, but how could she have done this? What happened with the bear? There are so many questions, and I think that everybody is valid to have their feelings towards what it is. All the girls in the cabin who don’t believe it are valid and are like, the bear was sick. That’s valid. That makes sense. Lottie could have powers. That also kind of makes sense. Crazier things have happened. I feel like that’s what makes it so interesting is that there’s not a clear answer yet. I feel like that makes it much more enjoyable to watch.”
