Yellowjackets season 1 episode 8

Laura Lee.

This week on Yellowjackets season 1, Van is revealed to be alive — but just barely. Laura Lee takes a big risk and pays an even bigger price. She wants the others to leave her and go back to camp, but Tai refuses, staying with her while the rest of the group goes ahead. With some help, they eventually get Van back to the cabin and stitch her up. Tai is wracked with guilt, telling Shauna she feels responsible for her injury. Though Coach Ben forbids Laura Lee from flying, she refuses to listen. Though she does get the plane off the ground, the teddy bear in the seat next to her catches on fire when she gets over the lake, and the plane explodes.

Yellowjackets season 1 episode 8

Hello and welcome to the Yellowjackets recap! Buckle in! There are just two! In the woods, people find their purpose. Back in the pilot, Nat tells her rehab group this is why it was hard to come out on the other side. After being rescued, she no longer had a purpose. In the woods, she had a clear role. The hunter. She provided food for the group. She fulfilled her purpose. Shauna has a purpose, too. She slits throats. She makes her hands useful. In the present, as a mother and wife, she does domestic work like cooking, cleaning, ironing. She makes her hands useful, but her family would never see it that way.

At what point does calling herself dangerous — the way she does with Simone in the present while asking her to go stay with her mother — merely sweep the issue under the rug instead of addressing the underlying causes of her sleepwalking?

What is madness and what is divine? While in triage after a vicious attack, the Yellowjackets are left to suss out the best of their worst ideas. Shauna dabbles in some light cyberstalking. Sign In Sign In. New Customer?

In the very first scene of the pilot episode of Yellowjackets , we see a barefoot girl with long dark hair running, terrified, through a snowy landscape. It appears to be early morning, with the sun just barely shining through the thick trees, many of which have ominous symbols carved into them, and there are the sounds of bird and animal calls in the distance. The noises seem to be coming from people, presumably the same people who crafted the spiky pit in the distance that this girl is running toward. Falling in, her body all a jumble amidst the spikes and collecting snow, we hear the crunch of footsteps approach, and a pair of pink converse come into view. This was the proclamation of what winter would look like for the post-crash Yellowjackets attempting to survive in the wilderness. And that winter is now just around the corner. This episode is ramping up to the conclusion of the first season and focuses on Laura Lee, who has been a sort of Bible chucking, now let us bow our heads punchline. Well, nothing aside from the pack of wolves in the woods that we saw in the last episode, but TBD if those were even real or not. From that moment, we go back to the cabin that the Yellowjackets are making camp in post-crash and Laura Lee sits alone, asking God to send her a sign.

Laura Lee. We barely knew thee. The first flashback sees Laura Lee diving into the shallow end of Christian summer camp, banging her head against the pool floor.

She says that she missed a week of practice screwing him. Callie finds his ID in the house, calling her mother out for it but also revealing that he has no social media or internet presence at all. Van can only endure the pain as the others watch on, horrified. She discovers that the college that "Adam" supposedly went to, Pratt, doesn't have any record of him. I think her comments about Googling etc. Taissa asks her to tell her Francois was a brooding musician, but Shauna says he was a mime. Is he not the blackmailer but still hiding something? There was a different visual tone, for one. The whiplash between tender earnestness and brutal discomfort in this episode makes for quite the ride. I think they found out that Jeff and Shauna were ogether before the crash and suspect that Shauna played a role or at least did not help Jackie to survive. I definitely agree with your comment about Callie — their conversation right after Shauna caught her at the Halloween party honestly felt very sweet?

How did Attic Man get all the hardware, window glass, etc. Flight of the Bumblebee. Her eyes flutter. I think her comments about Googling etc. Laura Lee watches it burn for a bit and then lets Jesus take the wheel as the rest of the plane goes up in a fiery blaze. In the woods, she had a clear role.
