A brief recap of Yellowjackets season 3 episode 2
In Yellowjackets season 3 episode 2, which is part of the 2-episode premiere of the season, adult Shauna was dealing with her daughter Callie, who has many questions about what happened in the wilderness; Lottie, who just came straight out of a mental facility; and a stalker.
And based on the editing of the Yellowjackets season 3 episode 2's ending, Shauna might very well know the person stalking her. Back in the wilderness timeline, something happened between her teen self and Melissa, who was following her like a stalker.
Misty was still eager to follow her friends' every beck and call despite them seemingly not caring about her, putting a strain on her relationship with Walter. Tai and Van were also still dealing with the latter's terminal cancer, but unknown to Van, their dine-and-dash ended with the waiter, who was running after them, having a heart attack and dying.
Meanwhile, in the wilderness timeline, Coach Ben is revealed to be still alive. He had Mari hostage in case she returned to the others and told them where he was. The others were also starting to question teen Natalie being the Antler Queen because of her choices.
