In "Yellowjackets," Jackie, Shauna's best friend, struggles to bond with the other girls due to her lack of survival skills. In season one, they lock her outside the cabin, and she tragically freezes to death in the snow. In season two, the survivors resort to cannibalism and consume her. Laura Lee, the most religious of the group, attempts to help Lottie accept her visions as messages from God. She tries to fly for help but perishes when the plane bursts into flames.

Those who died in the plane crash include Coach Bill, Travis and Javi's father, as well as team member Rachel Goldman, the pilot, and the flight crew. Crystal, a JV squad member, dies after falling off a cliff in season two, and Javi, who survives alone in the wilderness for some time, meets a tragic fate when Nat sacrifices him to save herself by allowing him to drown.

In the first season of "Yellowjackets," it was revealed that Young Shauna was pregnant. Audiences have been curious about the fate of her baby, especially since Adult Shauna, portrayed by Melanie Lynskey, doesn't appear to have another child besides her teenage daughter in the present timeline. The show's creators stated that they already know what will happen to Shauna's child, but they are keeping it a secret. While some fans speculate that the young survivors might resort to eating the baby, both Melanie Lynskey and creator Ashley Lyle have expressed their disapproval of such a dark plotline, hinting that it may not come to pass in the series.

The theory of the baby being consumed by the survivors has gained traction among fans, but the actress and creator have suggested that such a plot point might not be part of the show, indicating that it could be too extreme even for "Yellowjackets." As the mystery continues, audiences will have to wait for the series to unfold to discover what truly happens to Shauna's child.
