This isn't a spoiler, but I wanted to point out that when young Lottie screamed in her parents car, there's no indication that she had a "premonition" - *you* made that assumption. No premonition was shown - she just started screaming hysterically and then there was a car accident. The writers never show the audience "this is a premonition". It's left up to you, and you went the premonition route. Others might think differently. I personally think it was a coincidence. I think Lottie has schizophrenia (they show her medication in episode 1, which is a common drug used to treat schizophrenia) and her "visions" or perceived "premonitions" are just symptoms of her mental illness. But that's me. The 'Yellowjackets' fans have mostly formed 2 camps: those who think there are supernatural forces at play here, and those (like me) who think there are logical explanations for everything that seems supernatural. To me, it seems like the people around Lottie make their own minds up about what is happening to her and choose to believe she has some kind of powers (except her parents and psych doctors, who believe she has a mental illness). Just food for thought! :)

I'm definitely further on the logical side, but then there are a few things (like Lottie seeing the actual deer that Nat and Trav bring back to camp and some other stuff that's too spoiler-y to talk about yet) that make me unable to commit fully to it.

@@okielady73 there are possible explanations for the deer. It was clearly sick, so it could have been wandering around the area of the cabin like a zombie, dying. Then Nat and Travis find it and shoot it (put it out of it's misery, really). I don't see what's "supernatural" abt that. And do we really know these were the same deer? Maybe the one Lottie saw was a hallucination since she's diagnosed with schizophrenia. Or it was another dear, in the process of shedding it's antlers. So far, I've found explanations for everything that appears to be supernatural.
