Yellowjackets simply does not stop surprising fans time and again with each new release. If the last episode appeared to have less material, this one more than makes up for it with multiple intersecting plotlines, newly introduced overall themes, and big revelations that may alter the course of the story built so far.
The show aired its fifth episode on Showtime, and the fan reactions to this one are hard to keep track of due to the many directions it has taken. The show has explosive content in both past and present timelines, and the general reaction is as perfect as it should be.
'Yellowjackets' fans flooded with questions post fifth episode
The fifth episode of Yellowjackets may take the show in a different direction. So far, it had been teased that it may have a supernatural angle. This episode confirmed that it is indeed supernatural in some ways.
Characters like Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) have had a very varied arc, and there are doubts about her present-day self as well as a big revelation about her in the past arc.
Taissa (Tawny Cypress) also has a harrowing experience in this episode, also touching on shades of supernatural, especially with her child, Sam.
Another episode of the Misty-Madness
Misty (Christina Ricci) had a versatile episode. It began with her going to Coach Ben (and maybe poisoning his tea), for whom she confesses to having feelings. She asks that in the summoning too, and the spirit answers yes.
In a weird twist of fate, Coach Ben admits to liking her but not going forward with it because she is much younger and she is a student. Misty has an inherently unsettling presence that makes people doubt her.
In the present day, after seeming normal behavior over the last one and half episodes, she crosses the line yet again, as it is discovered at the end of the episode. Misty has apparently been spying on Nat's (played by Juliette Lewis) home.
Fans have come up with comments and theories about this:
It is yet to be revealed as to what Misty's intentions are and if she is indeed behind all that is happening to the survivors. As of now, she is the best guess, though it seems too straightforward.
The next episode will perhaps deal with this in detail, or at least everyone hopes so. The sixth episode airs on December 19, 2021. Till then, stay tuned for more updates.
