[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Yellowjackets Season 2 Episode 4, “Old Wounds.”]
“Hey, Van.” With that informal greeting, we obtained one of many reunions we’ve been dying to see between two of the grownup aircraft crash survivors on Yellowjackets.
State senator Taissa (Tawny Cypress) who can’t management the (more and more) evil twin facet of her character that arises when she sleepwalks, arrived at her onetime teen girlfriend Van’s (new solid member Lauren Ambrose) video retailer, While You Were Streaming. (Think Van had Tai in thoughts with that identify?)
“In that moment, Taissa feels like she has the beginning to the end of her problems. This is the one person who understands her and understands the other Tai. She feels safe,” Cypress informed TV Insider on The Buzz on Yellowjackets aftershow. “Is it the best thing for either of them? No. She is detrimental to Van, and Van is detrimental to her.”

We’re a teeny bit extra nervous about Van contemplating Tai’s evil twin’s bloody altar-building and dirt-eating (that latter had an upside: “The dirt was made of cake mix and crushed Oreos. And it was friggin delicious. I was like how much of this can I put in my mouth?” Cypress shares.)
Plus, that different Tai is simply getting hungrier, Cypress reveals. The all-night drive that left Tai stranded and out of fuel in her automotive, “is the longest we’ve seen Tai in her other state. The other Tai just wants to get things done. She has no moral compass. She’s a fixer. She is ready to take over, to run the show.”
Can she be stopped? “With the right people around her, she can be wrangled and even spoken to,” Cypress says.
As for grownup Tai and Van’s future, Cypress guarantees, “You’re gonna get the moment you want. The one that you’ve been waiting for.” That’s all she’s going to tease, however when you’re a Redditor, know that Cypress is lurking on the boards testing your posts debating whether or not the occasions of Yellowjackets are grounded in supernatural forces or the numerous faces of trauma. “I love all the theories. No one’s gotten it right. There was one thread that came this close to nailing the season and a bunch of people came on and squashed it,” the actress says with amusing.
Check out the video to listen to about Cypress’s favourite Taissa second; what she thinks triggered the opposite Tai’s return; Tai and Van’s backstory; how these doubles scenes are shot; working with Ambrose (the one actress she wished for the position) and what the primary horror film she ever noticed shares with Tai’s storyline.
