Who the fork is Lottie Matthews!?!?!

 

Well, there went my two biggest theories for Yellowjackets: that Lottie was pit girl and that Jackie was left for dead but has come back to haunt the remaining girl and that Lottie was the Pit Girl.  The thing is, Jackie was my back up for Pit Girl and she seemed to be the consensus for the top two for most people (the person was wearing her necklace).  Stupid casting red herring.  Those predictions were basically made mostly because Ella Purnell was a full cast member while Courtney Eaton (kind of wonder if she was cast solely for her name) was just recurring.  Though Coach Ben is a cast member and I am shocked he made it this far.  But they better sign up Eaton for future seasons soon now.

 

But I guess I can just slide Lottie into my Jackie theory that she was left for dead and also stole Shauna’s wilderness baby.  But how many people stayed with her?  There were four people who kidnapped Nat, including one dude.  Javi?  Wilderness baby?  Has Lottie recruited more people to her cult?  I did not notice any of the chicks having facial scares though we saw Van worship at the altar of Lottie.  But then again, so did Misty and she apparently left.  Or did she?  Tai is still doing ritualistic killings; I am guess to help win her election.  Of course, this begs the question; Simone is just now noticing there was a draft in the basement?

 

So we do have confirmation of one other survivor who made it to 2021.  But another of my predictions, that there would be another survivor that would turn up at the reunion also turned out to be wrong.  Though we did get a surprise attendee in Allie who I believe was just a freshman in 1996.  That actress just kept on throwing heaters.  The Rewatchables Podcast has something called the Dion Waiters award for the character who puts up a lot of shots in a little amount of times and that actress really was gunning for that award.  One nit-pick about the reunion, the trophy case only had fifteen players on the team.  The show has been fast and loose with the numbers, but there were nineteen survivors, minus Coach, Travis, Javi, and Misty, plus the three that can be seen dead in the cabin, plus Allie who was not on the flight should be nineteen.

 

Misty Psycho watch:  I knew there was no way Misty was going to let the fixer go even though it seemed like she was Stockholming her.  She definitely showed she knew how to get rid of a body earlier in the episode, but lacing the cigarette that she threw away was some next level planning.  Then Nat asking Shauna if she remembered how to cut up a body was chilling  Speaking of dead bodies, Callie was weirdly stone-faced was Adam’s missing report came on television.  Besides Pit Girl’s identity, that was the big hanging thread from this season, who was that dude?  That he had no digital footprint seems like a huge thing.  But why drag that mystery into season two?  Or is there no reveal coming and he was just some dude.  There were people thinking he was working with Callie and they were the blackmailers.  Other people thought Misty sent him but she had no such reaction to his body.  Either he is nobody or part of Lottie’s cult.  Probably the latter.

 

Despite getting everything wrong so far, that is not going to stop me making more predictions for season two.  Like I previous suggested, I will slide Lottie into my Jackie was left for dead in the wilderness and also stole Shauna’s wilderness baby prediction.  Pit Girl kind of has to be Mari at this point because she is the only dark haired girl left in 2016 that we do not know is alive in 2021 yet (while I love it, the Callie is Pit Girl theory makes no sense since Van clearly looks down on the dead body in that scene).  Unless they bring one of the background girls to the forefront, by my math, there are still six unnamed Yellowjackets that are still alive as of now.

 

Then, who else joins Lottie cult?  We learned last week, Lottie is the Antler Queen.  We have always known Misty was a part of it.  It also tuned out Van’s Co-Ed Naked Soccer shirt was not a red herring, but that is really her.  That leaves four other people from the dinner scene in the premiere.  Could it be simply the four other people we knew survived: Shauna, Tai, Nat, and Travis?  Could it be the four people who abducted Nat?  Considering her shrine and her ties to Van, Tai seems like a lock.  Nat asks Shauna if she remembers how to cut up a body so they seem like a possibilities.  Unless Javi, who was last seen running away from Shauna, ended up like Jackie, seems like he would be willing to join a cult too.  Yet, I am not entirely sure.  It is going to be a long wait until season two.
