At the death ofYellowjacketsseason 3 , episode 5 , Coach Ben is spar thanks to a vision from the wilderness , and grownup Misty and Shauna begin the William Holman Hunt for Lottie ’s killer . The consistence reckoning ofYellowjacketsseason 3 is getting high , and episode 6 sees it climb even further , work me wonder who will be leave standing .
Sophie Thatcher ’s Nat takes center stage in the state of nature , and because Thatcher ’s star is on the procession , the series should keep taking advantage of this . However , even asYellowjacketstried to give Nat an emotionally resonant arc throughout the installment , it did n’t go as far as it could ’ve . There were some sanguinary moments in " Thanksgiving ( Canada ) , " but I have n’t matte like anyone ’s been pushed to their terminal point in a long time . Thatcher does a comme il faut job work with what she ’s given , butit ’s easy to feel like even the actors are losing faith inYellowjackets.
I Wish Yellowjackets Would Give Its Characters The Chance To Develop
Many Arcs Have Stalled Out Since The End Of Season 2
When Callie ’s first instinct after hearing about Lottie ’s demise is to take out out the tape , it ’s a small too convenient , especially since I nearly forget about the tape considering how much fourth dimension had pass since it was mentioned . Callie is consistently my least favorite character , butthis season she ’s starting to become more like Shauna , which is making me like her more . However , I ’m not sure I interpret her motivation in " Thanksgiving ( Canada ) . " I doubt she really cares about getting to know her mother , so what makes her want to listen the cannibalism firsthand ?
It ’s not Melanie Lynskey ’s fault that Shauna ’s plot of land line in the nowadays has her run in circles . The actress is systematically one of the good on the show , but she ’s being underutilized this season . The same is true of all the character inYellowjackets . The series has too many intersecting patch threads and not enough time to dedicate to each of themto convert us to manage about them . This make it well-situated to forget about tapes and interpersonal moments and lose the thread of where the persona growth is supposed to be perish .
Without the winter , Yellowjacketsstruggles to obtain difference of opinion and built-in strife in the wild now that the girls have become a well - oiled machine of survival .
Coach Ben ’s story went in an interesting direction this week , and I authentically felt a little bit no-account for him . Steven Kruger should ’ve been gracefully written out last time of year , as his electric discharge felt like a holding patternYellowjacketscouldn’t escape from . Without the winter , Yellowjacketsstruggles to find conflict and inherent strife in the wilderness now that the young woman have become a well - oil machine of survival . There have been rumblings of dissent , but even the regime change that episode 6 arc is handled rather peacefully .
I ’ve been look since Shauna first picked up a knife in the woods for her to take her stead as the leader , and though the final moment of the episode shed a spanner in this architectural plan , I ’m glad we finally got here . However , the corking ending to Nat and Ben ’s moral quandary in " Thanksgiving ( Canada ) " has only made me more certain thatYellowjacketshas lost its sentience of clear management . If all the slapdash and anticlimactical choicesYellowjacketshas made this season do n’t chair up to something big , I ’m belong to be let down .

While Lottie ’s dying came out of nowhere , this was more annoying than challenging . However , as interesting as the last - second tale turn is , I ’m still wondering howYellowjacketsis going to top itself by the end of the season .
