Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 4 Recap

In this week’s Episode 4 of Yellowjackets, while there may not be as many fresh plot twists compared to the last one, it certainly delivers a powerful emotional impact. Here’s a breakdown of the episode, scene by scene.

Dreams and Messages

In the fourth episode, I find myself leading the way back to our camp, flanked by fellow survivors – Coach Ben, Shauna, Akhila, and Van. We tread through the thick forest, sunlight filtering through the canopy above like a celestial spotlight. As we move single-file, Shauna, Akhila, and Van converse at the rear about our collective vision from within the cave. Shauna brushes it off as just another oddity, mentioning she’s had far stranger dreams while navigating through this wilderness. When Akhila muses that our vision might have been a message from some higher power, Shauna offers a wry nod, but translates it as a simple warning to steer clear of the cave.

Make Him Pay

At camp, Travis (Kevin Alves) stirs awake to discover the girls arriving back, accompanied by Coach Ben. Shock is clear on the faces of both Travis and Lottie (Courtney Eaton), who were the only ones left behind while searching for Ben. The sight of their former instructor still alive leaves them in disbelief. With evident surprise, Coach Ben scans the temporary settlement, marveling at the well-built structures and small farm the survivors have created during his absence.

In the narrative, Sophie Thatcher’s character, Natalie, guides Coach Ben towards a hut, causing an immediate clash with Shauna, who suspects Natalie’s intentions regarding Ben. Shauna vocally accuses Ben of attempting to murder them and holds him responsible for the cabin fire. However, Natalie asserts her leadership by stating that they won’t retaliate in that manner. Lottie supports Natalie, implying that only their evolving wilderness faith can decide between life and death. On the other hand, Melissa aligns with Shauna, emphasizing the need for Ben to face the repercussions of almost setting them ablaze.

Instead of jumping to conclusions, Natalie proposes that the fire could’ve been an unusual occurrence. She advocates for giving Coach Ben an opportunity to present his version of events. She underscores the significance of adhering to due process, which involves holding a fair trial.

A Fair Trial

In this scenario, the survivors change their camp’s main area into a makeshift courtroom on the spot. Natalie declares that a decision must have a two-thirds vote, which sparks dissent from Shauna, who advocates for a straightforward majority. However, Natalie remains firm, pointing out that real trials necessitate jury agreement, making two-thirds a fair compromise. Taissa (played by Jasmin Savoy Brown) then steps in to confirm the rules have been settled and offers herself as the prosecutor, thereby quelling the growing disagreement between Shauna and Natalie.

The focus shifts towards who will stand up for Coach Ben. The spotlight lands on Misty (Samantha Hanratty), who looks puzzled as everyone seems to be looking at her. Van proposes that Misty should defend Ben because he’s “her boyfriend,” but Misty brushes off the suggestion, finding neither the humor nor the implication acceptable. She states that Ben is not the man she knew. Natalie pulls Misty aside for a private talk, explaining that Misty could give Ben a fair trial. Natalie emphasizes the gravity of the situation, stating that if Misty can’t prove his innocence, “he will die anyway,” but if she succeeds, “she will be saving a life.” After considering the consequences, Misty hesitantly decides to take on the role of Ben’s defense attorney.

Karmic Brakes

Currently, Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) and Jeff (Warren Kole) walk into a car repair shop. They approach the mechanic with unease, as Shauna accuses him of deliberately cutting her brake wire. However, the mechanic assures them it’s actually just a problem with the brake booster. Despite Shauna continuing to suspect sabotage, the mechanic insists there’s nothing fishy going on and offers to replace the faulty part within an hour.

In a private conversation with Jeff, Shauna expresses her doubts, finding it suspicious that her brakes malfunctioned at such an inconvenient time. Jeff surprises her with a deep philosophical perspective, implying it could be karma for their actions towards Kevyn. When Shauna tries to clear him of blame, Jeff firmly stands by his guilt, regretting they didn’t prevent “the situation” from happening. He makes a poignant comparison: just as they ignored certain events, the van similarly can’t halt its progress.

An Ominous Call

In another location, I step out from a lavish hotel as my phone buzzes with a call from Taissa (Tawny Cypress). She’s pressing me about the night when Natalie (Juliette Lewis) passed away, particularly curious about what I meant when I said “It” was content with us and we would “see the results.” I vaguely recall my words and try to sidestep her questions before hanging up, claiming I’m preoccupied. The camera lingers on Taissa’s disgruntled face as she insists we need to discuss this matter further, but it seems like I’ve hung up on her unheard.

A Vision of Truth

Previously in time, Lottie was caring for her flower garden when Akhila approached timidly. Akhila admitted she was hesitant to talk to Lottie but felt driven to share her experience inside the cave. She described her hallucinations as feeling more like real memories with deep meaning rather than just dreams. Seeing this, Lottie smiled and helped Akhila understand her encounter, saying she had seen “the truth” and been given a vision from the wilderness itself. Encouraged by Lottie’s validation, Akhila expressed her desire to investigate her bond with nature, which led Lottie to eagerly ask for more details about the cave.

Defense Strategy

In a more relaxed phrasing, we find Coach Ben bound to a large fallen tree, watching over the ducks that the Yellowjackets have tamed. As Misty arrives and swiftly strikes him, her anger evident, she inquires about how he could set fire to the cabin while she was inside, considering all the efforts she made for him, even helping him through a suicide attempt. With tears welling up, Misty expresses her confusion, believing they were friends.

Ben claims he’s not guilty, asserting that he could never harm her or intentionally burn down the cabin. When Misty presses for evidence, Ben admits it’s difficult to show his innocence, particularly in what he deems a “simulated high school trial.” He labels the proceedings as a “joke” with his verdict seemingly decided, which he believes makes honesty with her even more crucial now. Convinced by his honesty, Misty warns Ben against openly labeling the trial as a joke. Instead, she urges him to choose his words wisely, assuring him that they’ll prevail and establish his innocence.

Doing Something Good

Currently, Shauna observes Jeff packing a container marked “Charity” with assorted items. When she inquires about it, Jeff clarifies that he’s trying to amass goodwill or ‘karma points’ as a means of offsetting previous wrongdoings. Additionally, he mentions his ongoing search for a cat that has been missing for two years.

Jeff asks Sarah Desjardins (Callie) to donate to the charity collection box. In response, Callie teasingly queries if their sudden charitable actions are an attempt to make up for leaving Lottie homeless. Shauna sternly instructs Callie not to bring up Lottie’s name again. While Jeff continues filling the box and expressing his urgent desire to perform a good deed, Shauna consents to aid him in his moral mission. Jeff discloses he has already arranged for them to volunteer, causing Callie to announce she won’t participate and leaves the room.

A Stupid Idea

Taissa and Van are seated outside a café, contemplating their strategy. Van voices her concern that their idea could be “foolish” or “unwise.” However, Taissa concedes it may appear absurd but maintains if some force makes its selection clear, they’ll recognize it without a doubt.

With “Fresh Blood” by Eels playing softly in the background, Taissa buys a pack of cards, chooses the Queen of Hearts, and gives it to Van. He lays it on the floor beside some trash bags. A woman walks over it and realizes it’s stuck to her shoe; she tosses it aside. Excitedly, a child retrieves the card, but her mother reprimands her and throws it away once more. Eventually, a man comes by, glances at the card knowingly, then pockets it. A look of astonishment crosses Van’s face as he seems to believe that “It” has chosen someone. Taissa and he stand up and start trailing the man.

All Rise

Previously, Van initiated “The People vs. Benjamin Scott” trial, accusing him of arson and multiple attempts at murder. Clad in an improvised toga, she clarified the necessity of a two-thirds majority verdict before presenting “Judge Natalie,” who appeared from her hut adorned with a deer skull headdress.

To start things off, Natalie signifies the beginning of the proceedings by tapping on her wooden podium with a rough hammer while directing Taissa to bring forward her initial witness. Taissa then requests Mari (Alexa Barajas) who seems taken aback by being chosen. As Mari moves closer, Misty subtly advises Coach Ben that she’s putting herself at stake for him and cautions him against making her seem unwise.

Initially, Taissa queries Mari, but is interrupted swiftly by Misty who demands the witness be administered an oath first. Van appears perplexed, forgetting this essential step. Lottie moves forward, presenting a pack of cards to Mari and starting to recite: “I pledge by the Wilderness to uphold Its values as my own. I’ll answer whatever it asks, listen to what it says, and fulfill its needs…” However, before she completes her oath, Natalie interjects, summarizing it as simply swearing “to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” Mari concurs with this simplified version.

Taissa initially expresses that everyone’s glad Mari is back safe after her harrowing ordeal. However, Misty challenges this statement, suggesting that Taissa is offering a personal opinion rather than stating a fact. Natalie echoes Misty’s thoughts, acknowledging that Taissa is indeed expressing her own viewpoint. To clarify, Taissa queries Mari directly if she found the experience traumatic. Mari concurs, describing the kidnapping as indeed traumatic, and shares that Ben made her eat bats and often spoke to someone who wasn’t physically present. When asked about Ben’s mental state, Mari expresses caution, stating she thinks he could be unstable.

Later, Taissa queries why Ben had imprisoned Mari. Mari admits she was confined to prevent her from disclosing his whereabouts – a secret she eventually exposed. A hint of remorse flashes across Mari’s face as she acknowledges her betrayal of Ben’s trust. When pressed about the reason for keeping his location hidden, Mari confesses that Ben feared retribution. Taissa seems to grasp this as an admission of guilt and ends her interrogation.

To start off with the questioning, Misty queries about exactly what Ben supposedly feared revenge for. Mari acknowledges some uncertainty but suggests it might have been due to burning down the cabin. Misty points out that Mari’s speculations aren’t actual proof, then asks if Ben could have possibly harmed Mari inside the cave. Mari agrees he had that ability. Misty proceeds to emphasize that Ben decided not to injure Mari—in fact, he saved her from the pit where she fell. When inquired about why, Mari admits it was because Ben didn’t want her to perish. Finally, Misty makes her main point: does such behavior seem like that of a vindictive killer? Mari agrees it does not.

Tapioca Duty

Currently, Shauna is asking Jeff if they should sign up to volunteer at the retirement home where Misty (Christina Ricci) is employed. Jeff, feeling remorseful, admits he wasn’t aware it was her place of work, but optimistically suggests they may not cross paths with her. However, within moments, Misty appears, wheeling an elderly resident in a wheelchair. She approaches Shauna’s car with noticeable irritation.

Jeff asks if there’s some tension between the two women, but Shauna casually brushes it off as just Misty being her usual self. Challenging Shauna, Misty accuses her of showing up at her job with no intentions of apologizing. Shauna stands firm, stating she has no reason to apologize. Their interaction escalates into a heated argument until Jeff steps in, noticing the tension. He clarifies they’re there to help out and follows Misty’s orders. Seeing this as an opportunity, Misty assigns them to “tapioca task.” Although Shauna doesn’t know what that means, Misty’s smug expression leads her to refuse immediately. Misty insists Shauna must comply, claiming this submission is better than an apology. She departs with a wicked grin while Shauna ponders the trouble brewing ahead.

Who Started the Fire?

During the wilderness hearing, Misty grills Shauna regarding her actions on the night of the fire, focusing particularly on why she was up at that time. Shauna responds by saying she was writing in her journal since she couldn’t fall asleep. Then, Misty bluntly asks if Shauna herself had initiated the fire. Shauna strongly rejects this claim and labels Misty as “irrational” for even proposing such a notion.

In a meticulous manner, Misty constructs her argument, taking note of the sequence of events: the fire broke out on the same night that Natalie was selected as leader, an appointment that Shauna appears to grudgingly accept. She keeps quizzing Shauna about whether she feels she’s more deserving of leadership than Natalie. Although Shauna denies this, Misty continues probing, emphasizing Shauna’s crucial role in their survival, such as carving Javi’s (Luciano Leroux) meat when others couldn’t – a task that might have instilled a sense of superiority within her. When Shauna tries to divert the conversation by challenging Misty’s theory, Misty proposes that Shauna could have started the fire as a means to create a crisis where she could showcase her worth. Taissa interjects to object to this line of inquiry, and Misty backs off.

As a movie enthusiast, I then inquire from Shauna if she views Ben as a hero. She promptly shakes her head and declares no. When probed about whether Ben assisted during her labor, Shauna once more responds in the negative, vividly remembering how Ben, a teacher, merely pressed play on a VHS tape instead of offering aid during her time of need, while he himself retreated to his bedroom when she was bleeding. Asked for her thoughts on why Ben might have started the fire, Shauna explains that he harbors contempt and fear towards them because they’re willing to do whatever it takes to survive—something Ben knows he’s not a part of their group. With a sense of accomplishment, I conclude my line of questioning, settling back in my chair with a smug grin, satisfied at having possibly sealed Ben’s fate.

Stalking the Prey

Currently, Van and Taissa are tailing the man who took the Queen of Hearts card. They see he’s got a laundry bag with a child’s dress inside, causing Van to ponder if he could be a father. Taissa, in a chilling tone, presents an unsettling hypothesis – maybe he’s not a dad, but rather someone who might have ill intentions towards children, and that could explain the dress. Once they see him entering his apartment building, they hastily try to catch the closing door and continue their investigation.

Unhealthy Fantasies

At the retirement home, Jeff wins over a cluster of senior citizens by assisting Randy (Jeff Holman) in running a bingo event. From afar, Misty watches with approval at Jeff’s effortless bond with the elderly. Later, she steps into Svetlana’s room and asks if a letter on her table is from Walter – it was revealed in Season 2 that Walter pretended to be Svetlana’s son to talk to Misty. Upon discovering it wasn’t, Misty seems disheartened, hinting at her longing for Walter and the remorse she feels over their split.

In the kitchen, Shauna is playing music and enjoying herself as she cooks tapioca. Misty enters, looking puzzled by Shauna’s apparent enjoyment of cooking. She questions why Shauna seems to find pleasure in a task that takes up most of her daily life. Shauna responds by asserting that cooking isn’t her only activity and turns the conversation back on Misty, hinting that she should be the one being punished. This comment enrages Misty, who reminds Shauna about the time they both were in the car when the brakes failed, placing their lives at equal risk. She insists that Shauna owes her an apology, but Shauna refuses and instead belittles Misty further.

The scene shows Misty momentarily imagining herself attacking Shauna with a knife from the countertop. Aware of her disturbing thoughts, Misty admits aloud that it’s harmful to stay close to Shauna. Gathering her possessions, she leaves. On her exit, Misty opportunistically swipes a letter and some puzzle pieces from Svetlana’s room, making sure the elderly lady will never finish the puzzle she’s been laboring on for four weeks.

Reasonable Doubt

Currently, the setting depicts Lottie conversing with a mirror, refining an apology intended for those she’s harmed. It’s unclear whether this rehearsal is for the Yellowjackets survivors or her cult members from the past, as the scene shifts back to the court trial timeline.

Misty inquires about Lottie’s past experiences with people’s perspectives on her wilderness convictions, to which Lottie admits there were disagreements. Then, Misty wonders if it’s historically true that houses have been torched due to belief disputes. Lottie affirms this pattern. In an unconventional approach, Misty proposes a defensive theory: Shauna, Gen, Natalie, or Melissa may have opposed Lottie’s wilderness beliefs; Taissa joined the prayer circles merely because her partner Van did. However, when Melissa vehemently denies setting fire to the cabin, Natalie demands calm.

As a cinephile, I pondered if Lottie had her own reasons for such an act – was it possible that being told she’d no longer be the leader stirred feelings within her strong enough to ignite the fire? Lottie firmly denied any involvement, yet I gently probed, not casting blame but seeking understanding of a potential motive. Reluctantly, she conceded, “Perhaps.

Speaking to you all as a movie buff, I’m trying to make sense of this situation: if everyone had a possible reason for doing it, then maybe it wasn’t Ben who started the fire. This uncertainty about his guilt is making me question whether it’s fair to blame him in these circumstances. And it seems like you’re starting to feel the same way too, Akhila.

As Shauna moves towards Taissa, she queries about her strategy to prove Ben’s guilt. Taissa confesses her doubt, explaining that she intended to wrap up her case by resting it. However, Shauna unveils a crucial piece of information: Natalie had known where Coach Ben was hiding the whole time. When Taissa inquires about when Shauna learned this, Shauna tactfully dodges the question, recommending that Taissa instead confront Natalie directly.

Nice One, Shauna

Currently, Shauna is wrapping up vegetable preparation in the nursing home kitchen. Moving to store them in the walk-in freezer, she accidentally knocks over a container of hamburgers. Kneeling down to tidy up, someone unknowingly shuts the freezer door, trapping her inside. Despite calling out and attempting to break free using frozen meat, she remains enclosed. All of a sudden, Shauna hears Jackie’s voice and sees her late childhood friend sitting with her in the freezer.

Lock Your Door

As a movie critic, I’d rephrase that as follows: Delving deeper into our quarry’s lair, my unease intensifies within the confines of his apartment building. My partner and I approach the suspect’s door, and she signals it’s time for the crucial moment. I voice concerns about gaining entry, but she insists on trying the doorknob, claiming it as a sign we’ve been waiting for.

Van clearly says she won’t do it. Taissa acknowledges her hesitation but justifies the act as crucial for Van’s life, claiming the wilderness might cure her cancer if they offer another sacrifice. However, Van strongly refuses this deal, saying “Forget the Wilderness,” expressing that while she wants more time with Taissa, not at such a high price. She suggests they just make the most of the remaining time instead. Taissa seems to decide to leave, but her face shows uncertainty. She then proposes another plan, asking Van to meet her at the park’s border in an hour and giving specific instructions about which train to take.

Disorder in the Court

During the court hearing, Natalie inquired whether Taissa had more witnesses. Subsequently, Taissa requested that Natalie testify herself. However, Misty raised an objection based on procedure due to Natalie’s role as judge, but Natalie dismissed this concern and chose to step onto the witness stand.

Taissa asks Natalie when she last saw Coach Ben, and Natalie shares that she noticed him departing from the cabin on the day it caught fire, immediately after they had retrieved Javi’s body. When Taissa inquires why Natalie didn’t prevent Ben from leaving then, Natalie utilizes her position as a judge to evade a direct response.

Instead of changing tactics, Taissa inquires whether Natalie thinks it’s odd that Ben left just before the fire, raising suspicions. Natalie offers a possible explanation, pointing out various sources for the fire such as sparks from the fireplace or a toppled candle. When questioned if she had suspected Ben of intentionally starting the fire, Natalie admits she couldn’t entertain that idea because he wasn’t present to interrogate.

Later on, Taissa discloses a shocking fact: she accuses Natalie of being aware of Ben’s whereabouts from the start and instructing the group not to look for him. Caught in her lie, Natalie finally admits that Ben was indeed alive, but she justifies her action by stating he didn’t want any interaction with them and wasn’t a threat. This disclosure enrages Shauna immensely, who queries how Natalie could independently decide that Ben wasn’t dangerous, considering he had almost cost their lives.

With Natalie holding back tears, turmoil arises among the survivors who feel deceived by their leader. Taissa finishes her interrogation. A moment later, tension fills the air as Natalie declares it’s now Misty’s turn to bring forth witnesses. In a daring tactical decision, Misty orders Coach Ben himself to take the stand and testify.

Human Popsicle

Currently, Jeff amuses a group of nursing home residents with his humor, causing them to chuckle fondly. On the other hand, Randy walks disheartened towards the kitchen for some refreshments, feeling let down as Jeff took the center stage and outshone him.

In the depths of the refrigerator, I pound frantically on the door, yearning someone would respond to my distress calls. The ghostly figure of Jackie appears, mocking me with a taunt that echoes Jeff’s thoughts on karma – it seems I’m getting what I deserved for my past actions, a frozen end. Jackie draws a parallel between our circumstances, hinting that I might meet the same icy fate she did in the wilderness.

She accuses me of knowing someone is trying to take my life due to my past deeds, but instead of seeking truth, I hurl unjustified accusations. When I plead with her to leave me alone, she retorts that she embodies “the most intriguing aspect” of me. I vehemently deny this, causing her to question if I’ve become the person I wanted to be after her demise or merely ended up as “this” – gesturing towards my present state.

As I shiver uncontrollably, she offers a hollow comfort, telling me that I’ll “warm up soon” – a chilling reminder of the impending end.

Outside the freezer, Randy grabs some snacks and hears a thumping noise. Recognizing someone is trapped inside, he swiftly frees Shauna. Upon being set free, Shauna marches straight to reception, asking for Misty’s location while pointing fingers at her as the captor. The receptionist informs Shauna that Misty had departed several hours ago, leaving Shauna puzzled about who had confined her instead.

Crime and Punishment

Previously, Misty probed Ben about the driving force behind his coaching role. Honestly, Ben confessed that he never aspired to be a coach. Pushing for more details, Misty pointed out that he must’ve had a reason for taking up substitute teaching instead. Ben conceded his disinterest in dealing with teenagers, which led Misty to wonder why he had spent nine years at their high school when other job opportunities could have been pursued.

In simpler terms, Ben shared that the Yellowjackets were the top team in the state, and he believed being connected with them could bring him better prospects later on. However, Misty sarcastically wondered if he intended to dislike them until then. Softening his expression, Ben admitted he genuinely enjoyed coaching, and over time, he grew fond of the Yellowjackets because they were persistent underdogs, much like himself.

When Misty queries if Ben ever wished to hurt the girls, he counters by providing tangible instances of his protective measures: standing up for them when they were tipsy before their initial road game, potentially jeopardizing his career to shield them from repercussions; overlooking Taissa and Van after discovering them in the parking lot; designating Misty as equipment manager instead of having her play on the team where she might encounter bullying due to subpar skills. He clarifies that his own troubled family history spurred him to nurture the girls, as no one had done for him before.

Later, Misty inquires why, if he truly cared, did he leave them behind? As Ben recounts the events following the accident, his calm demeanor falters. He explains how life took a drastic turn after the crash: Misty amputated his leg, no one listened to his advice, and numerous unfortunate incidents occurred – implying their slide into cannibalism. He voices his annoyance at being judged for trying to flee the horrors that surrounded him. He admits his greatest fear: worrying that when the girls no longer required his leadership, he could become their next victim.

although he doesn’t grasp their belief system, he truly respects how the survivors persevered against incredible obstacles. Lastly, he insists on his innocence – he would never try to harm them.

During Ben’s heartfelt statement, the camera sweeps over the faces of the survivors, revealing many who are visibly teary-eyed. Once Ben concludes, Misty brings her line of inquiry to a close. Taissa looks distressed.

Duplicate Cat

Currently, Jeff arrives home and ponders why Shauna deserted him at the nursing home. Upon seeing Shauna cradling a cat, he instantly voices his disapproval of adopting it. Shauna clarifies that she departed because the elderly residents didn’t align with her concept of good karma due to the feud with Misty. Rather than spending time among the elderly, she scoured numerous animal shelters in search of the cat Jeff had previously mentioned as missing.

At first, it seems like Jeff is pleased that Shauna located their long-lost pet. However, Shauna clarifies Jeff’s assumption, revealing that the original cat might be deceased. She found a cat with a resemblance to the lost one as a substitute for the owners, who will remain unaware of the truth. Although Jeff feels let down by Shauna’s deception in doing something kind, he acknowledges her attempt to help and appreciates her thoughtfulness in supporting what is important to him, so he thanks her.

Buy Me a Pretzel

As the scene transitions to the park where Taissa told Van to wait for her, “Linger” by The Cranberries plays softly in the background. There, Taissa guides Van towards an unexpected moment. Along the way, they pass a pretzel vendor, and Taissa playfully asks Van to buy her one. Though taken aback, Van complies as Taissa recalls a previous promise: that one day, Van would take her to New York, treat her to a pretzel, and go for a horse ride together. Just then, a horse-drawn carriage appears, revealing Taissa’s thoughtful surprise.

In a kind gesture, Van seems moved yet admits she’s out of money for the pretzels. Taissa generously offers her some cash instead. As Van pays and receives the pretzels, Taissa observes her hand shaking quite a bit. Taissa’s smile turns to worry, replaced by concern. When she inquires if everything is alright, Van attributes it to just the day’s excitement. Despite this, Van continues their date with enthusiasm, but Taissa can’t help but show obvious signs of concern, linking Van’s behavior to their earlier choice not to carry out the Queen of Hearts card’s selection.

Two-Thirds Majority

Previously, Natalie called for a meeting to decide Coach Ben’s fate. She explained that Misty, Taissa, and herself should not vote due to our close connection to the situation. First, she asked those who believed Ben was guilty to show their hands; Shauna, Melissa, and Van were among those who did. Then, she asked for votes from those thinking he was innocent, with Travis, Lottie, and Akhila raising their hands. However, neither side had enough support to reach the required two-thirds majority.

In a hurry to find an agreement, Natalie proposes they keep voting until they all agree on something. After multiple rounds without a clear outcome, Shauna explodes in anger, accusing Ben of trying to set them alight. Under pressure from Shauna and Melissa, Gen (Vanessa Prasad) eventually admits guilt. Misty argues that Shauna is manipulating the situation. Despite Natalie’s efforts to end the trial, Shauna persists in pressuring holdouts, glaring at Lottie until she also agrees. The pressure from their peers eventually convinces Travis and Akhila as well.

In a victorious tone, Shauna proclaims they’ve garnered the required number of votes. Seeing this, Natalie, looking upset, emotionally states that Ben is guilty of an attempt on someone’s life. Instead of seeming taken aback or disheartened, Ben appears to accept his fate. Upon these words, Natalie orders Van to escort Ben back to his confinement area before departing as well.

As people leave, Melissa moves towards Shauna, expressing admiration for her actions and acknowledging her strength. Shauna responds warmly, accepting Melissa’s praise. Meanwhile, Lottie watches this exchange with curiosity before talking to Travis about a sketch he has – a picture of a figure lying down with three standing figures around it. When Lottie asks about the drawing, Travis replies cryptically: “It’s the result.

New Body Found

Currently, Misty is using an ultraviolet light on the letter taken from Svetlana, searching for any secret messages left by Walter. Finding no such signs, she switches to her computer and browses to the Citizen Detectives’ online platform, where a fresh post showcases a concealed image of a newly found corpse.

Walter’s phone buzzes with a message for Misty: “I’ve learned about Lottie, are you alright?” Puzzled by this mention, Misty navigates back to her computer and accesses a secret photo. Her face contorts into shock as she witnesses a picture of Lottie’s injured body at the foot of stairs in a gloomy alleyway, covered in blood.

As a cinephile, I find myself transported straight to the heart of the crime scene. The air is thick with the knowledge that officials have arrived, confirmed by the crackle of police radios echoing around me. The forensic photographers, diligent in their duty, are capturing every detail with camera flashes that pierce the darkness, momentarily illuminating Lottie’s lifeless body in a series of stark, fleeting moments before the screen fades to an ominous black.

[Credits roll]

Hey there fellow fan! I couldn’t help but wonder, how did you find Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 4? It was quite a thriller, wasn’t it? As for Coach Ben’s punishment, here’s my take: In my opinion, given his actions and the circumstances, he might face a suspension or even expulsion from the team. What do you think? Let’s keep this conversation going in the comments!
