Lottie gave van the deer bone that didn’t burn in the fire she said it would help her, but when tai was in the tree she had the bone for some reason. I think she took it while sleep walking and that if van had the bone she could’ve stabbed the wolf and the bone would’ve saved her like lottie intended. I wanna know what made Tia take the bone.
Took it in her Disassociate state, but why is the question. I’ve thought what if it was Tia that attacked Van w the bone cause her face looks like a gash not a bite.
@@thewhitepanda10 interesting idea. maybe tia doesn't know either and that is why in the preview for the next episode she is asking her wife to leave her because she is afraid she will 'hurt' her. i can stop worrying about shana's baby and what will happen when she gives birth. the kid she has can't be the one born in the wilderness can she be
Here’s my theory of what’s happened *SPOILERS* if somehow I’m right with any of this… So I think their big secret is they left a group girls out there to die when they got rescued. The shows synopsis is how “Wildly talented high school girls' soccer players descend into SAVAGE CLANS after their plane crashes in the remote northern wilderness.” So they split into 2 groups. Cannibal and non-cannibal. Tai, Shauna, & Nat not being part of the cannibalism get rescued w Misty, who was a cannibal, maybe she was spying on the other group when the rescue happened, Misty keeps their secret of leaving people behind while they keep Misty’s eating people secret. Either Lottie or Jacki is the AQ leading the cannibals. And the people going after the group in present day is one of the people that survived from the cannibal group that got left behind.
I’m convinced the leader is lottie from a while ago. Then a couple episodes ago something happened that clinched that idea for me. We have already seen flashbacks of cannibalism and what looks like a queen. The queen has antlers on her head. Well a couple episodes ago lottie gets up to get a light by the antlers handing on the wall. Right after she picks up the light, the camera centers her on those antlers on the wall so it looks like she’s wearing them, and it makes a haunting sound at the same time. Foreshadowing I think.
@@had1toomany114 what a turnaround it would be if Lottie became the leader. I'm having a hard time seeing it but hey anything can happen when your stranded in the middle of nowhere Lol
@@davidmancini8286 I see Lottie as being the spiritual figurehead, but someone else will be calling the shots. Lottie doesn't have the personality to be a leader. Another member of the group will use Lottie's visions and pronouncements as justification for wielding power. You see it all the time in tribal societies.
I feel like Adam is Travis’s brother Javi, maybe. Javi said he needed the hunting knife for art stuff ( Adam is an artist), and he left Shauna the wolf statue. Does he have a thing for her? In the preview for next week it is implied that Adam could be the blackmailer. I don’t know, but it would be an interesting twist.
I talked about the Adam as Javi in a previous video but there was some new pieces of evidence in this episode I should’ve touched upon. I’m on board with the theory too!
I think Adam is Javier (Javi). Adam says he does art projects in the present and Javi was an artistic person in the past. Plus Javi shows up in scenes with Shauna a lot during certain episodes. Adam is the one blackmailing the group, but he may not be alone. I'm beginning to think that Lottie is the "Antler Queen". Laura Lee asks Lottie what they should do as far as looking for help and the other girls now look to her for her opinion. She didn't have an answer this time, but after the group that left gets attacked by wolves I'm pretty sure she'll be looked at as their prophet going forward. I'm not sure if Van survived the wolf attack or not. Some folks are saying Van can be seen wearing an eye patch in the Yellowjackets Official Trailer #2. It's the clip where they are walking through the woods - with Shauna in the middle with flowers in her hair. Van is walking on Shauna's left. I'll have to freeze the scene to be sure because I swear that's Jackie with longer hair 😂
It’s def Van I just watched that 15,000 times and paused because I wondered was that the beginning of the weird culty ish lol! I was thinking maybe it’s a hallucination or some sort of ghost/paranormal occurrence. Who knows but she’s definitely there but looked dead in this past episode.
Also when she was going out side and saw that one girl eating dirt, she was standing in front of the deer skull on the wall and the antlers looked like they were on her head
Love your reviews of this show! You are easy to watch and exactly what I was looking for in regards to someone discussing theories of this show! Someone else probably mentioned this, but it's Van because it's short for Vanessa. I only mention this because I wasn't sure for several episodes either until one of them said 'Vanessa" at some point and I was like "ohhh what a cool nickname for a Vanessa".
I personally think that Natalie has feelings for the cop (can’t remember his name rn🤦🏻♀️😅) but she is really obsessed with finding out what happened to Travis because it’s turned into her new “purpose” that she didn’t have after leaving rehab, resulting in her burning bridges for her current obsession/purpose
Her purpose after she got out of rehab was to find the blackmailer, I think its more about justice for travis, since people believe he committed suicide
I knew van was gonna die when lotti gave her the bone thing what was intresting was that taiesa had it when she woke up in the tree so maybe she took it while van slept and basically rendered van unable to protect herself when the wolf grabbed her
i randomly found this video, and wanted to let you know I subscribed and watched this vid because for a brief second while scrolling, I was like "holy shit kevin smith watches yellowjackets?" then realized youre not kevin smith, you look nothing like him, you just have a beard and backwards cap. But once I press the button, I must commit. I am now a sub
One thing I noticed, is they revealed (Unless someone changes their shirt) Who the girl was in the first episode starting down at Lottie after she fell in the pit (While she's running, she's having her schizophrenic visions and hearing sounds, that's how you know) It's Van
In the previwes for next weeks episode you see Shauna in her closet and her fingers have glitter on them. Her lover hid from Jeff in the closet. So I think the person behind all of this is the man she is having an affair with.
i suspected, shauna's lover, as being the guy who took the blackmail money. he was waiting for her when she got home that was odd, like he was establishing an alibi for himself. and all his attentions seem to be contrived, the way they met, his persistence, his overly romantic stuff with her, a married woman, if he was so romantic why doesn't he find an 'available' woman. suddenly i suspect adam of being involved in the blackmail.
I think Taissa was up in that tree when the wolves came because she was having another hallucination, not keeping watch. Also, I think they ate Jackie in the cult-y preview parts. I think that was Jackie falling in the pit and getting strung up. My theory is that they will all regroup at some point at the cabin and that someone will kill Lottie soon because they think her visions are too freaky. Maybe Lottie will be the first one they eat especially if it starts snowing.
yes it was jackie who fell in the pit. that was established at some point early on i forget exactly how. i think they showed her necklace before and after she was killed. but i do remember noticing it. i wonder who the head person was with the antlers at the beginning. i watched the first episode a second time and was surprised how many things i got wrong on the first viewing, how many things i remembered incorrectly.
@@yourmajesty1630 while Jackie might be pit girl, it is also possible she gives it to someone else at some point. After reading Shauna's journal and discovering who really got her pregnant, that is probably going to be a death blow to their friendship. I can see Jackie giving the necklace to someone else In view of Shauna as a way to spite her. Time will tell.
@@Tommykey07 exactly. Jackie being the girl in the pit feels too obvious. Although I do think she's dead and I do think they killed her... I think it's long before the snows begin to fall. Much like the heart necklace, I don't think that just because van is wearing the t-shirt and this episode means that she is the person standing over the pit. I'm sure at some point they have to start sharing The clothes they have left. Pretty sure Lottie is the antler queen. Shawna is the bunny. Nat is the skunk (aka Pink tennis shoes) and Tai is the wolf. Misty is the beaver-like critter.
@@christinerobbins9376 originally I thought Laura was the skunk when I zoomed the photo. It's obviously a white girl with blue eyes. Then someone pointed out to me that Natalie also has blue eyes, though they are only noticeably blue up close. Then again, the skunk is black with a tuft of white fur. Natalie's hair is bleached blonde, but over time as her hair grows, it will become predominantly black with some white at the top.
After rewatching the pilot again, I developed some more observations. Pit Girl Is only wearing a night gown in a cold, snowy environment, suggesting she was in a shelter, possibly the cabin, whereas the cannibal girls are all wearing animal furs over their ordinary clothing. They are dressed for the environment and she is not. In the end, when the camera zooms out from the site of the cannibalism, you see the fuselage of the plane. Since the plane is about five miles from the cabin, I wonder if this means the girls are split into two groups, or if the site of the crash has become a ritual center for them.
Dude Adam being in Shaun's house means alot... Shauna is going to find glitter in her bedroom so she'll think Adam is the blackmailer... But the glitter could of come from Jeff... I think Jeff is the blackmailer... That explains why Shauna didn't get a postcard and why she isn't bei g blackmailed..
I know, I noticed I said it didn’t matter and then right after I talked about an important detail with Jeff in that exact scene lol. My bad on saying it didn’t matter when it did
I think Adam may be Javi and that Adam is the one blackmailing them. The preview for the next episode shows Shauna finding glitter in the closet. Javi had a crush on Shauna in the wilderness as she was nice to him. Side note it's Van short for Vanessa.
I think Jeff and Adam are working together. But Jeff is the mastermind blackmailing them because he needs the money to save his failing business. Adam can't be Javi. Shauna and Javi spent 19 months in the woods together, she would definitely recognize him. Puberty doesn't change you that much.
I was skeptical about the Adam/Javi theory because how could she not recognize him? But I think it was confirmed it is him. #1 she says this was supposed to all fun and artsy (something like that) and he had sculpted the little wooden animal #2 as Kevin's brother he might have access to the bank account #3 he was out at 4am waiting for her? Now she just needs to find glitter.. does she even know about the glitter?
I’m bingeing the show right now and I’m laughing out at your predictions. Just peeked onto ep. 8, and am laughing out at your theories from this episode.
@@scott4878 my money is Van. The actress and character has an intriguingly small digital presence, which makes me think “I need to watch her more closely”
So, I’m only 5 mins into your recap but….how did you not go into more of ty sleep walking? She has to be who her son is seeing in the tree at night. No?… on to epi 8 but I’ll def be back. I was on a mission to watch recaps before I watch the last epi I can. Found this show last night. Can’t stop watching. I was hoping it was all out but hey something to look forward too! Great recap. Yours are the best from what I’ve found.
Awesome video!!!! I get the feeling that Jeff and Adam are working together somehow in this blackmailing thing. If it is Jeff, then it makes sense why Shauna never got the postcard. Also, that tshirt in the pilot (the one that says "coed naked" with a big soccer ball in the middle that is wore by the person who was wearing pink tennis shoes) is the same tshirt that Van was wearing this episode. And I think Nat did something awesome in the woods that Taissa and Shauna seemed to owe her something. At least that's what Taissa said to Shauna in the minivan. This is getting very interesting.
@@cheri7054 You are right. She got only bitten on the face. Oh man, Tai is gonna need to do some explaining about why is holding her bone and not keeping watch.
@@cheri7054 OMG! I didn't think about that. She doen't even have to give her the bone back. She can just throw it away and say it got lost with the whole wolf incident. But how she is going to explain she was not there when the wolf were attacking?
I like the actress that plays Shauna. BTW, I have cable, but not by choice. I live in the mountains and can’t get WiFi. I can watch this show of course the first day it airs, but my Daughter has Hulu, and this show and others air a day later. That’s probably common knowledge, but thought I’d mentioned it just in case.
I dont think Adam or Jeff are behind the blackmailing. This is the mystery that will be solved in this season. It wont be the big mystery of the whole series. I dont know why but I think its Misty's fellow citizen detective. The one they poured gas on in the restaurant.
I'm definitely thinking Adam and that Adam is Javi (How Shauna doesn't recognize him, I can't say ) But he had a crush on her in the woods, borrowed the knife for an Art Project and Adam now has an Art Studio in 2021, plus Shauna never received a card, so he didn't intend her to be involved. Plus him showing up at her house at that exact time on the same night. It's either a whole lot of dots or a big red herring.
ADAM IS TRAVIS’S LITTLE BROTHER. HES AN ARTIST AND THERE WAS THE FLASHBACK WHERE HE ASKED SHAUNA FOR A KNIFE FOR HIS ART PROJECT. HES ALWAYS HAD A CRUSH ON SHAUNA AND HE CHANGED HIS NAME JUST LIKE HIS BROTHER.
I agree with you on Jeff possibility being the person in the ski mask.The more I think about it Kevyn makes more sense. He’s a professional investigator and he knows the group personally.
Van is shown in a trailer walking with a group of girls with flowers on their heads however I think it could be some weird paranormal/hallucination/culty vibe lol. It was def her in that shot though. Interested to see where everything will go. I hope we get more seasons. I watched the cast do a panel & Shauna said they have enough material for 5 seasons. But, Juliette Lewis wasn’t sounding like that would be something she’s down for. She said her character was hard to play due to all the emotional trauma etc. hopefully she hangs in there. I love her pizzazz sprinkled in.
Juliette Lewis seemed downright pissed in that interview. Like, really upset. She storms off the stage at the end...super sad that she hates this character. I think she's great in the role. But it also makes me what they told her about the character when yellowjackets first became a concept. Cuz she talks about how all of this started pre-covid. Maybe she expected her character to have a redemption story and it just didn't work out that way? She does call present day Natalie "devolved" (at the same time she gives the cast credit 🙏😂)
I think Adam is the guy who stole the money and Ti is the lady in the tree her son keeps talking about and I believe Ti has formed a split personality🤔
I definitely agree with you on Tai, she seems to be behind all the weird stuff going on with her son. And I’m starting to believe Adam is behind the blackmail as well, especially with that glitter now found in the closet
Dude it could be Javi posing as Adam. Since he’s Travis’s brother he can clear his account. Javi is blackmailing them. He likes Shauna so he didn’t sent her a threatening postcard.
It was not a watching post. She had no idea how she got there. She had taken the bone from Van and was crouching in the tree as we’ve seen her do in previous episodes.
It just so happens that in her sleepwalking state she took the bone and went to the safest location (in the tree away from the wolves). I wonder how she had these instincts or intuition while sleeping. I am very interested to see how things unfold.
So, Tai, came down from the tree with a bite. I noticed that the camera angle was panning from the angle of the tree as she entered the house. Now the tree was making noises like someone or thing might be up in the tree. Maybe her son suffering from the same affection. Or maybe the man with no eyes.... Van is not dead. Check out the second trailer for the series she is with the other girls in the Forrest with a patch on her eye.
I keep hearing people talk about seeing Van in the Yellowjackets Official Trailer #2, but I don't think that's her. There's a clip of the girls walking. Shauna is in the middle with flowers in her hair. People are saying that Van is the one walking in front of her on her Left. I don't think that's Van. I froze the clip and it looks like Jackie with longer hair.
@@sirc625 yes the hair is longer. They have there a minute, her face and body type are there. And the red hair is a give away who else has that color. The directors of this series make sure that they let you know little things matter. And this also gives the motive for the entire series. Face mared, jaded by former lover. Fellow believer in the stranger events, betrayed by the social leader after the crash. (Julie Lewis said in the car you all are just as f'd up as I am) what if she decides to stay (in the forrest because her face and heart are scared)as all left. Sending post cards. Wish you were here... Now is her time for a pound of flesh(bit the sleep walker in the tree) again betrayed because her warding charm stolen. Because she fell asleep. We will all know next week. Hey this is just a thought but it makes a good story.
Vans face doesn’t look as damaged in that trailer though. Her whole left face was destroyed but in the trailer it seems like only her eye is bandaged up
Next episode trailer shows Shauna finding glitter in her closet. Obvious answer is Adam...but it may just be Jeff or Callie playing games. 🤔 Van survives. I seen her in the series teaser trailer with an eye patch.
It seems like the show is making a big deal about the glitter. But Tai had that glitter all over her and she got back into Shauna's car....It just seems like the glitter could come from the car as well. I hope it's neither guy. I kind of like both Jeff and Adam, even though each have problems. I like Adam's mysterious ways and I don't think Jeff is cheating. And why only 50 grand? Weird.
And I keep saying this so I'll say it once again... 50k seems like a number a kid would come up with. A kid who wants to read out her mother's affair but has been threatened with financial cutoff. I could see a teenager thinking 50k was enough to take care of their college years... But an adult Jeff? I don't think 50K would save his business. But it could still be Adam/Javi. Javi theoretically would be the only one close enough to Travis to clean out his bank account, I think.
I saw that trailer too but the only reason why I’m still doubting that van is alive is because in the trailer it shows only that she has bandages on her eye. When in the episode, half her face gets torn off
I think Adam is Jackie's son. I think she some how got pregnant in the woods or maybe before and gave him away to somebody. I mean Adam talks about how he goes with the flow, purposely gets hit by Shauna, then shows up at Shaunas house after they give the person 50k. Maybe hes trying to get revenge for his mother or somewhere reason.
The dude hiding in Shawna’s closet she found glitter which is what they said to look for someone covered in glitter who was waiting outside her house at 4am. Personally i think the dude Shawna is banging might be Javi who is Travis’s little brother who we know nothing about and so far has had a thing for Shawna in the flashbacks
And why does everyone think that Mari and Coach Ben have something going on? I have been reading this everywhere but I can't remember seeing anything between them to suggest this
Van, you’re the middle between Tai’s reason and Lottie’s “visions”. If you live to recall the red river dream, make sure you mention Lottie’s “protection” too: the DEAD DEER BONE, which didn’t protect you, and may have drawn the wolves with its scent. Lottie’s dreams are NOT reliable, and you had to pay…
Here is a question no one is asking. Where is Nat getting her Day to Day spending money, for the hotel, booze, Gas etc. Of course prior to selling the Porsche. Does Tai send her regular money?
A couple things, they may have already been mentioned. In the official Trailer, it says they break up into clans, so we know that happens. Also as far as VAN being dead she 100% should totally be dead, this is beyond Neosporin to fix. But if the Official Trailer # 2, she is shown alive with some kind of mask or something covering the right side of her face. I think this would be far fetched, but they are suggesting it (Or it's a rewrite) ruclips.net/video/sYznLoeS_mA/видео.html - Adam could very likely be Javi (I know that's out there in the Yellowjacket Universe) and unless it's a Red Herring makes sense. He clearly had a crush on Shauna when in the Wild, he asked for the Hunting Knife to do an Art Project and he is now saying he is an Artist and has a Studio. Also, he would know Shauna would be showing up at her house around that time, because they were both out doing the same thing at the same time. Jeff will probably be revealed to be doing something innocent, like planning their upcoming Anniversary and to have it at that Hotel. Or a larger preparation for a 25 year reunion, which again, seems to be shown in the Trailers #2. That being said, this could also be 100% wrong.
Idk. I have conflicting feelings after watching Juliette Lewis' vulture panel. She said the character of present day Natalie is completely devolved. She's clearly unhappy with the character she's playing which leads me to believe they may kill Natalie off. And that makes me super sad because I love her character. Along with bat shyt crazy Misty & Shauna & Tai. It's just disappointing to realize that JL is so miserable in this role
This is a great show, but I found it a little slow going this week. I'd love for them to pick up the pace a little bit. I don't think it's going to be long at all before Misty goes ape-shit on the coach. She'll be like Kathy Bates in Misery before that guy is done for!
3:47... I'm Wondering Where The LittleBrother is. His Father Died, His Brother was Killed After TheCrash, & The Only Time I can Remember Seeing The LittleBrother, is During "FlashBacks" of TheCrash & Surviving in TheWoods.
I thought Jackie's parents have Shauna and Jeff for Jackie's B-day but Jackie's not there year after year. Did Jackie become estrained from parents after she returned home and is hiding out or did she die at the crash site. We already know some of the girls were hunted killed and eaten so the others could survive.
Quick theory. The guy who took the money might be Shandra's kid. There is no way that her daughter was the child she would have had in the woods. They got lost in 1996 so she would already be 25 if that is the case. She's still in high school. So what happened to the baby?
Glitter part got me... But I don't think it's relevant anymore is it? It washes off somehow 😂 Edit: My bad... The preview of 8th episode shows glitter on Adam....
Jokingly, the glitter will be from adam yes, but after he left the stripper club that night he was looking for his booty call. Or could be left over from Shaunas Pole Dancing phase. Bottom line: The glitter will be circumstantial.
It's VAN (As in short for VANessa), they say clearly say VAN all the time on the show. Not once has anyone said VON. Sorry, I apologize, I just get frustrated with people reviewing shows (No matter how good the review is) if they don't even know how to pronounce Character's names. They are literally said out loud. At this point for 7 Episodes. 7 Hours of TV with people calling her VAN.
I think Jackie and Travis are going to lose their virginity to each other. Jackie, out of spite for Shauna and Jeff. Travis, out of shame with Natalie. Natalie finds out and shoots Jackie. Natalie has this “still hate you bitch” vibe towards Shawna and Jeff’s relationship/marriage. That would explain why. Pretty sure Van is dead. The necklace was meant to save her. If not, she most likely will be soon. Also, cool foreshadowing with the plane burns to the defacing from the wolf. As far as the Bribe goes. I think Adam could be involved somehow. I don’t know. I found myself caring more about the Horror Teen Soap Opera taking place in the wilderness. In this episode anyway. I have to say. Week to week . They’ve done a great job of balancing plot lines and time lines.
@Noel Vickery I think Travis has some sexual problem. Maybe his father or Mother molested Travis. Maybe Travis isn't really into women so therefore he has an issue with Nat/ They never end up having a real romantic relationship
I thought Van was dead also but I keep hearing people say she is alive and they saw her in other trailers so who knows if she's dead or not at this point.
I just watched the trailer and it’s definitely van with tape over her eye… but her face was more gashed then just her eye and the trailer doesn’t show that so maybe it was a scrapped scene idk
Misty is multilayered. If her top layer takes up all your attention you wont be able to see her deeper layers. I think Misty honestly is the only good character of this season.
I got a chuckle when Taissa says "We're not on an island". It's almost as if the showrunners put that line in there to inform viewers who seem to think they're on an island.
Yo I laughed so hard😂 I thought that was a direct shot at me lol

I think Lottie is possessed. If she gives you something in the disguise of protection, you’re done....I think she’s the leader
Here’s my theory of what’s happened *SPOILERS* if somehow I’m right with any of this…
So I think their big secret is they left a group girls out there to die when they got rescued.

I'm here for the theories!
I feel like Adam is Travis’s brother Javi, maybe. Javi said he needed the hunting knife for art stuff ( Adam is an artist), and he left Shauna the wolf statue. Does he have a thing for her? In the preview for next week it is implied that Adam could be the blackmailer. I don’t know, but it would be an interesting twist.
Yes !! Agreed !!

It’s def Van I just watched that 15,000 times and paused because I wondered was that the beginning of the weird culty ish lol! I was thinking maybe it’s a hallucination or some sort of ghost/paranormal occurrence. Who knows but she’s definitely there but looked dead in this past episode.

Kevin Tan
Her purpose after she got out of rehab was to find the blackmailer, I think its more about justice for travis, since people believe he committed suicide
Completely agree!
Is Adam blackmailing them at the same time as the Shauna romance? … and is he Javi!?!
Those two theories seem like the most likely! My money is on Jeff but I do believe Adam is Javi as well
I knew van was gonna die when lotti gave her the bone thing what was intresting was that taiesa had it when she woke up in the tree so maybe she took it while van slept and basically rendered van unable to protect herself when the wolf grabbed her
Oh wow great theory! I totally forgot that Tai had it when she woke up
Van is actually, surprisingly alive. She has been spotted sporting an eye/jaw patch in previews/stills from future episodes in the woods.
Yesss thank you so much for saying this, my hope is restored, her ‘death’ scene had me so sad because she reminds me sm of my girlfriend
i randomly found this video, and wanted to let you know I subscribed and watched this vid because for a brief second while scrolling, I was like "holy shit kevin smith watches yellowjackets?" then realized youre not kevin smith, you look nothing like him, you just have a beard and backwards cap. But once I press the button, I must commit. I am now a sub
This is a great comment😂 Thank you for the sub!
One thing I noticed, is they revealed (Unless someone changes their shirt) Who the girl was in the first episode starting down at Lottie after she fell in the pit (While she's running, she's having her schizophrenic visions and hearing sounds, that's how you know) It's Van
Or van died and someone else is wearing her clothes 😆 I mean they have limited supplies after all
@@l.c.7955 I don’t think she is dead. Too easy. It’s a show of evolution.. be much better plot that this changes her, hardens her.
In the previwes for next weeks episode you see Shauna in her closet and her fingers have glitter on them. Her lover hid from Jeff in the closet. So I think the person behind all of this is the man she is having an affair with.
i suspected, shauna's lover, as being the guy who took the blackmail money. he was waiting for her when she got home that was odd, like he was establishing an alibi for himself. and all his attentions seem to be contrived, the way they met, his persistence, his overly romantic stuff with her, a married woman, if he was so romantic why doesn't he find an 'available' woman. suddenly i suspect adam of being involved in the blackmail.
Yeah, but then there would be glitter on the bed, too.
Adam is definitely the most likely suspect, which is suspect in itself. My list of potential suspects are Callie and her boyfriend or Randy Walsh.
It's Jeff or callie not adam
I think Taissa was up in that tree when the wolves came because she was having another hallucination, not keeping watch.
Also, I think they ate Jackie in the cult-y preview parts. I think that was Jackie falling in the pit and getting strung up.
My theory is that they will all regroup at some point at the cabin and that someone will kill Lottie soon because they think her visions are too freaky. Maybe Lottie will be the first one they eat especially if it starts snowing.
yes it was jackie who fell in the pit. that was established at some point early on i forget exactly how. i think they showed her necklace before and after she was killed. but i do remember noticing it. i wonder who the head person was with the antlers at the beginning. i watched the first episode a second time and was surprised how many things i got wrong on the first viewing, how many things i remembered incorrectly.
@@yourmajesty1630 while Jackie might be pit girl, it is also possible she gives it to someone else at some point. After reading Shauna's journal and discovering who really got her pregnant, that is probably going to be a death blow to their friendship. I can see Jackie giving the necklace to someone else In view of Shauna as a way to spite her. Time will tell.
@@Tommykey07 exactly. Jackie being the girl in the pit feels too obvious. Although I do think she's dead and I do think they killed her... I think it's long before the snows begin to fall. Much like the heart necklace, I don't think that just because van is wearing the t-shirt and this episode means that she is the person standing over the pit. I'm sure at some point they have to start sharing The clothes they have left. Pretty sure Lottie is the antler queen. Shawna is the bunny. Nat is the skunk (aka Pink tennis shoes) and Tai is the wolf. Misty is the beaver-like critter.
@@christinerobbins9376 originally I thought Laura was the skunk when I zoomed the photo. It's obviously a white girl with blue eyes. Then someone pointed out to me that Natalie also has blue eyes, though they are only noticeably blue up close.
Then again, the skunk is black with a tuft of white fur. Natalie's hair is bleached blonde, but over time as her hair grows, it will become predominantly black with some white at the top.
After rewatching the pilot again, I developed some more observations. Pit Girl Is only wearing a night gown in a cold, snowy environment, suggesting she was in a shelter, possibly the cabin, whereas the cannibal girls are all wearing animal furs over their ordinary clothing. They are dressed for the environment and she is not.
In the end, when the camera zooms out from the site of the cannibalism, you see the fuselage of the plane. Since the plane is about five miles from the cabin, I wonder if this means the girls are split into two groups, or if the site of the crash has become a ritual center for them.
Dude Adam being in Shaun's house means alot...
Shauna is going to find glitter in her bedroom so she'll think Adam is the blackmailer... But the glitter could of come from Jeff... I think Jeff is the blackmailer... That explains why Shauna didn't get a postcard and why she isn't bei g blackmailed..
I know, I noticed I said it didn’t matter and then right after I talked about an important detail with Jeff in that exact scene lol. My bad on saying it didn’t matter when it did
I think Adam may be Javi and that Adam is the one blackmailing them. The preview for the next episode shows Shauna finding glitter in the closet. Javi had a crush on Shauna in the wilderness as she was nice to him. Side note it's Van short for Vanessa.
but how would she not recognize javi.
@@yourmajesty1630 he had yet to hit puberty in the wilderness, some people look completely different as adults.
I think Jeff and Adam are working together. But Jeff is the mastermind blackmailing them because he needs the money to save his failing business. Adam can't be Javi. Shauna and Javi spent 19 months in the woods together, she would definitely recognize him. Puberty doesn't change you that much.
I thought this too.
I was skeptical about the Adam/Javi theory because how could she not recognize him? But I think it was confirmed it is him. #1 she says this was supposed to all fun and artsy (something like that) and he had sculpted the little wooden animal #2 as Kevin's brother he might have access to the bank account #3 he was out at 4am waiting for her? Now she just needs to find glitter.. does she even know about the glitter?
I’m bingeing the show right now and I’m laughing out at your predictions. Just peeked onto ep. 8, and am laughing out at your theories from this episode.
Some theories are really out there😂
@@scott4878 my money is Van. The actress and character has an intriguingly small digital presence, which makes me think “I need to watch her more closely”
So, I’m only 5 mins into your recap but….how did you not go into more of ty sleep walking? She has to be who her son is seeing in the tree at night. No?… on to epi 8 but I’ll def be back. I was on a mission to watch recaps before I watch the last epi I can. Found this show last night. Can’t stop watching. I was hoping it was all out but hey something to look forward too! Great recap. Yours are the best from what I’ve found.
In my previous video I think I might have went into more detail and pretty much said she’s definitely been the woman in the tree this whole time
Don't Look Up is AWESOME! Your camera looks great and I would never watch Showtime on anything but Amazon Prime.
Glad you liked Dont Look Up too!
Your video is fine. Really. It's good 💪
Awesome video!!!! I get the feeling that Jeff and Adam are working together somehow in this blackmailing thing. If it is Jeff, then it makes sense why Shauna never got the postcard. Also, that tshirt in the pilot (the one that says "coed naked" with a big soccer ball in the middle that is wore by the person who was wearing pink tennis shoes) is the same tshirt that Van was wearing this episode. And I think Nat did something awesome in the woods that Taissa and Shauna seemed to owe her something. At least that's what Taissa said to Shauna in the minivan. This is getting very interesting.
@Edward Gonzalez Van was wearing that shirt. I don't think Van died in that wolf attack.
@@cheri7054 You are right. She got only bitten on the face. Oh man, Tai is gonna need to do some explaining about why is holding her bone and not keeping watch.
@@edwardgonzalez6331 I bet Tai will give her bone back before she comes to consciousness. She'd never know it was missing
@@cheri7054 OMG! I didn't think about that. She doen't even have to give her the bone back. She can just throw it away and say it got lost with the whole wolf incident.
But how she is going to explain she was not there when the wolf were attacking?
New camera looks great. I can even read some of dvds on the bookcase(Cool,Spiderman figure). The guy at the drop is obviously, Adam.
Thank you my guy! Always appreciate the comments
We will know who is behind the blackmail next week when Shauna finds the glitter.
the thing is that you won't be able to rule out either jeff or adam.
@@yourmajesty1630 Or Shauna's daughter...
@@RonnieFN and her boyfriend!
I like the actress that plays Shauna. BTW, I have cable, but not by choice. I live in the mountains and can’t get WiFi. I can watch this show of course the first day it airs, but my Daughter has Hulu, and this show and others air a day later. That’s probably common knowledge, but thought I’d mentioned it just in case.
I dont think Adam or Jeff are behind the blackmailing. This is the mystery that will be solved in this season. It wont be the big mystery of the whole series. I dont know why but I think its Misty's fellow citizen detective. The one they poured gas on in the restaurant.
I reckon that it might be Callie and her boyfriend behind the blackmailing
I'm definitely thinking Adam and that Adam is Javi (How Shauna doesn't recognize him, I can't say ) But he had a crush on her in the woods, borrowed the knife for an Art Project and Adam now has an Art Studio in 2021, plus Shauna never received a card, so he didn't intend her to be involved. Plus him showing up at her house at that exact time on the same night. It's either a whole lot of dots or a big red herring.
ADAM IS TRAVIS’S LITTLE BROTHER. HES AN ARTIST AND THERE WAS THE FLASHBACK WHERE HE ASKED SHAUNA FOR A KNIFE FOR HIS ART PROJECT. HES ALWAYS HAD A CRUSH ON SHAUNA AND HE CHANGED HIS NAME JUST LIKE HIS BROTHER.
I agree with you on Jeff possibility being the person in the ski mask.The more I think about it Kevyn makes more sense. He’s a professional investigator and he knows the group personally.
Van is shown in a trailer walking with a group of girls with flowers on their heads however I think it could be some weird paranormal/hallucination/culty vibe lol. It was def her in that shot though. Interested to see where everything will go. I hope we get more seasons. I watched the cast do a panel & Shauna said they have enough material for 5 seasons. But, Juliette Lewis wasn’t sounding like that would be something she’s down for. She said her character was hard to play due to all the emotional trauma etc. hopefully she hangs in there. I love her pizzazz sprinkled in.
Juliette Lewis seemed downright pissed in that interview. Like, really upset. She storms off the stage at the end...super sad that she hates this character. I think she's great in the role. But it also makes me what they told her about the character when yellowjackets first became a concept. Cuz she talks about how all of this started pre-covid. Maybe she expected her character to have a redemption story and it just didn't work out that way? She does call present day Natalie "devolved" (at the same time she gives the cast credit 🙏😂)
I hope they wrap it up in three seasons tops.
Camera looks great. Great review
Thank you!!
Great video. New sub.
Thank you!!
I thought she was imagining the wolves and ended up killing her girlfriend, we'll find out the next episode though.
I thought the same!
I thought the same exact thing at first…that’d be a great twist opening for next episode
I think Adam is the guy who stole the money and Ti is the lady in the tree her son keeps talking about and I believe Ti has formed a split personality🤔
I definitely agree with you on Tai, she seems to be behind all the weird stuff going on with her son. And I’m starting to believe Adam is behind the blackmail as well, especially with that glitter now found in the closet
Dude it could be Javi posing as Adam. Since he’s Travis’s brother he can clear his account. Javi is blackmailing them. He likes Shauna so he didn’t sent her a threatening postcard.
love tthis show keeps you guessing man natalie a bad ass and misty wow shes demented i waited to on my amazon stick never came out until later
It was not a watching post. She had no idea how she got there. She had taken the bone from Van and was crouching in the tree as we’ve seen her do in previous episodes.
It just so happens that in her sleepwalking state she took the bone and went to the safest location (in the tree away from the wolves). I wonder how she had these instincts or intuition while sleeping. I am very interested to see how things unfold.
We want season 2 already! 😩
So, Tai, came down from the tree with a bite. I noticed that the camera angle was panning from the angle of the tree as she entered the house. Now the tree was making noises like someone or thing might be up in the tree. Maybe her son suffering from the same affection. Or maybe the man with no eyes....
Van is not dead. Check out the second trailer for the series she is with the other girls in the Forrest with a patch on her eye.
I keep hearing people talk about seeing Van in the Yellowjackets Official Trailer #2, but I don't think that's her. There's a clip of the girls walking. Shauna is in the middle with flowers in her hair. People are saying that Van is the one walking in front of her on her Left. I don't think that's Van. I froze the clip and it looks like Jackie with longer hair.
@@sirc625 yes the hair is longer. They have there a minute, her face and body type are there. And the red hair is a give away who else has that color. The directors of this series make sure that they let you know little things matter.
And this also gives the motive for the entire series. Face mared, jaded by former lover. Fellow believer in the stranger events, betrayed by the social leader after the crash. (Julie Lewis said in the car you all are just as f'd up as I am) what if she decides to stay (in the forrest because her face and heart are scared)as all left. Sending post cards. Wish you were here...
Now is her time for a pound of flesh(bit the sleep walker in the tree) again betrayed because her warding charm stolen. Because she fell asleep.
We will all know next week.
Hey this is just a thought but it makes a good story.
I noticed the Pan to the tree after tai left too. I was trying to think what they were hinting at but the man with no eyes is a good theory
Did anybody else notice that van is wearing the same shirt as the mysterious pink shoed figure standing over the trap in the first episode 🤯
lottie becomes the leader with the deer horns its in trailer 2 and van is still alive.
Vans face doesn’t look as damaged in that trailer though. Her whole left face was destroyed but in the trailer it seems like only her eye is bandaged up
@@scott4878 well Missy is there so who knows! She's the medic! Plus they all go back because you see van alive and is Lottie behind her with antlers
@@scott4878 That's actually true. Maybe Lottie is having a vision and the incident never happened.
I think it’s Van like the vehicle bc it’s short for van-essa
Thank you! I’ll know now for next episode
I believe it’s Jeff and Jackie behind everything
Next episode trailer shows Shauna finding glitter in her closet. Obvious answer is Adam...but it may just be Jeff or Callie playing games. 🤔
Van survives. I seen her in the series teaser trailer with an eye patch.
It seems like the show is making a big deal about the glitter. But Tai had that glitter all over her and she got back into Shauna's car....It just seems like the glitter could come from the car as well. I hope it's neither guy. I kind of like both Jeff and Adam, even though each have problems. I like Adam's mysterious ways and I don't think Jeff is cheating. And why only 50 grand? Weird.
or a red herring...the glitter unrelated to the guy who took the money
🤣 maybe the glitter is from her rave loving daughter, Callie.
And I keep saying this so I'll say it once again... 50k seems like a number a kid would come up with. A kid who wants to read out her mother's affair but has been threatened with financial cutoff. I could see a teenager thinking 50k was enough to take care of their college years... But an adult Jeff? I don't think 50K would save his business. But it could still be Adam/Javi. Javi theoretically would be the only one close enough to Travis to clean out his bank account, I think.
I saw that trailer too but the only reason why I’m still doubting that van is alive is because in the trailer it shows only that she has bandages on her eye. When in the episode, half her face gets torn off
I think Yellowjackets would of been better as a mini series. I was so intrigued by the pilot but everything has been slow and drug out since
I don't see stretching it out for five seasons. They should do two or three at the most.
@Tom Summa. It's called character development.
You didn’t speak about how Adam seems to have left glitter in the closet after he hid…… making it seem like he was the one who collected the 50k
I think Adam is Jackie's son. I think she some how got pregnant in the woods or maybe before and gave him away to somebody. I mean Adam talks about how he goes with the flow, purposely gets hit by Shauna, then shows up at Shaunas house after they give the person 50k. Maybe hes trying to get revenge for his mother or somewhere reason.
The dude hiding in Shawna’s closet she found glitter which is what they said to look for someone covered in glitter who was waiting outside her house at 4am. Personally i think the dude Shawna is banging might be Javi who is Travis’s little brother who we know nothing about and so far has had a thing for Shawna in the flashbacks
And why does everyone think that Mari and Coach Ben have something going on? I have been reading this everywhere but I can't remember seeing anything between them to suggest this
And I think the glitter fairy is Adam/Javi, or Jeff. Or Callie. 😂
Van, you’re the middle between Tai’s reason and Lottie’s “visions”. If you live to recall the red river dream, make sure you mention Lottie’s “protection” too: the DEAD DEER BONE, which didn’t protect you, and may have drawn the wolves with its scent. Lottie’s dreams are NOT reliable, and you had to pay…
The bone was clean white and if anything smells it's all the girls!
Lottie is going to end up being the AQ and Tai will most likely be the rival!
Here is a question no one is asking. Where is Nat getting her Day to Day spending money, for the hotel, booze, Gas etc. Of course prior to selling the Porsche. Does Tai send her regular money?
A couple things, they may have already been mentioned. In the official Trailer, it says they break up into clans, so we know that happens. Also as far as VAN being dead she 100% should totally be dead, this is beyond Neosporin to fix. But if the Official Trailer # 2, she is shown alive with some kind of mask or something covering the right side of her face. I think this would be far fetched, but they are suggesting it (Or it's a rewrite) ruclips.net/video/sYznLoeS_mA/видео.html - Adam could very likely be Javi (I know that's out there in the Yellowjacket Universe) and unless it's a Red Herring makes sense. He clearly had a crush on Shauna when in the Wild, he asked for the Hunting Knife to do an Art Project and he is now saying he is an Artist and has a Studio. Also, he would know Shauna would be showing up at her house around that time, because they were both out doing the same thing at the same time. Jeff will probably be revealed to be doing something innocent, like planning their upcoming Anniversary and to have it at that Hotel. Or a larger preparation for a 25 year reunion, which again, seems to be shown in the Trailers #2. That being said, this could also be 100% wrong.
Idk. I have conflicting feelings after watching Juliette Lewis' vulture panel. She said the character of present day Natalie is completely devolved. She's clearly unhappy with the character she's playing which leads me to believe they may kill Natalie off. And that makes me super sad because I love her character. Along with bat shyt crazy Misty & Shauna & Tai. It's just disappointing to realize that JL is so miserable in this role
Oh I hope not! I love her character and I love Juliette Lewis. She is amazing and I want more and more!!!
This is a great show, but I found it a little slow going this week. I'd love for them to pick up the pace a little bit. I don't think it's going to be long at all before Misty goes ape-shit on the coach. She'll be like Kathy Bates in Misery before that guy is done for!
Yea I’m still waiting for the show to go bat shit insane because I feel like it’s definitely coming soon
3:47...
I'm Wondering Where The LittleBrother is.
His Father Died, His Brother was Killed After TheCrash, & The Only Time I can Remember Seeing The LittleBrother, is During "FlashBacks" of TheCrash & Surviving in TheWoods.
I thought Jackie's parents have Shauna and Jeff for Jackie's B-day but Jackie's not there year after year. Did Jackie become estrained from parents after she returned home and is hiding out or did she die at the crash site. We already know some of the girls were hunted killed and eaten so the others could survive.
Jackie might have been the girl that got trapped and eaten in the first episode.
I’m pretty sure Van is short for Vanessa. So I’m thinking it gets the long A sound.
The bone is a vertebrae from the spine. The part that looks like a nose is the spinous process
Misty is a psychopath though and I wonder if things are going to end badly for her character
Quick theory. The guy who took the money might be Shandra's kid. There is no way that her daughter was the child she would have had in the woods. They got lost in 1996 so she would already be 25 if that is the case. She's still in high school. So what happened to the baby?
I'm waiting to see if Shauna finds glitter on Jeffs clothes, or is the show just trying to trick us & he was just at work or having an affair
Glitter part got me... But I don't think it's relevant anymore is it? It washes off somehow 😂
Edit: My bad... The preview of 8th episode shows glitter on Adam....
PleAse watch/review “Mayor of Kingstown” on paramount. You won’t be disappointed
I watched the first two episodes! I still have to continue it.
Jokingly, the glitter will be from adam yes, but after he left the stripper club that night he was looking for his booty call.
Or could be left over from Shaunas Pole Dancing phase.
Bottom line: The glitter will be circumstantial.
It's VAN (As in short for VANessa), they say clearly say VAN all the time on the show. Not once has anyone said VON. Sorry, I apologize, I just get frustrated with people reviewing shows (No matter how good the review is) if they don't even know how to pronounce Character's names. They are literally said out loud. At this point for 7 Episodes. 7 Hours of TV with people calling her VAN.
I think Jackie and Travis are going to lose their virginity to each other. Jackie, out of spite for Shauna and Jeff. Travis, out of shame with Natalie.
Natalie finds out and shoots Jackie.
Natalie has this “still hate you bitch” vibe towards Shawna and Jeff’s relationship/marriage. That would explain why.
Pretty sure Van is dead. The necklace was meant to save her. If not, she most likely will be soon. Also, cool foreshadowing with the plane burns to the defacing from the wolf.
As far as the Bribe goes. I think Adam could be involved somehow. I don’t know. I found myself caring more about the Horror Teen Soap Opera taking place in the wilderness. In this episode anyway.
I have to say. Week to week .
They’ve done a great job of balancing plot lines and time lines.
@Noel Vickery I think Travis has some sexual problem. Maybe his father or Mother molested Travis. Maybe Travis isn't really into women so therefore he has an issue with Nat/ They never end up having a real romantic relationship
@@cheri7054 yes I think there’s more to his sexual problems too..he said his father was an asshole so I think it’s that
@@katedargan293 It felt like he had to save his father through obligation rather than to help him.
I think Adam is the one trying to extort them. He was asking too many questions at mini golf..
I think its Travis brother that's blackmailing them
Her full name is vanessa
I thought Van was dead also but I keep hearing people say she is alive and they saw her in other trailers so who knows if she's dead or not at this point.
I just watched the trailer and it’s definitely van with tape over her eye… but her face was more gashed then just her eye and the trailer doesn’t show that so maybe it was a scrapped scene idk
@@scott4878 ok so she is still alive then. I wonder if she is going to be pissed at Taissa because she was supposed to be on watch.
I think adult Shauna has something to do with what's going on... she seems so shifty
Jeff is just having an affair that's it. Adam is I think
This gonna challenge AHS
What about travis's brother
Van is alive

1:09
Oh wow…that is definitely van…wow idk what to think now lol
Wow, that's pretty cool. And it looks like she does not have the bone on her anymore.
Misty is def NOT my favorite...I cannot stand her.
Misty is multilayered. If her top layer takes up all your attention you wont be able to see her deeper layers.
I think Misty honestly is the only good character of this season.
@@thisone. She did not hesitate to rip the cord out of that black box.
@@thisone. but yeah, the show definitely wouldn't be what it is without her lol
@@pluckybellhop66 That black box was not a guarantee that they would of been rescued but yes that was what she did was on her.
