Ghost Jackie Returns in Yellowjackets: A Disturbing Twist You Won’t Believe!

by

In the third episode of Yellowjackets’ third season, we embark on an adventure that unfolds in multiple dimensions. There’s plenty happening in each timeline, including Shauna’s explosive confrontation with Lottie, a thrilling pursuit during their Wilderness days. A notable event in this Yellowjackets episode from the third season might not have surprised many viewers, given her appearance in the show’s trailer: Ghost Jackie made a brief reappearance. Although this isn’t the first time she’s visited from beyond the grave, this encounter was undeniably peculiar.

How Does Jackie Return in Yellowjackets Season 3?

In the Wilderness timeline, Coach Ben chooses, possibly unwisely, to release Mari following some awkward and amusing encounters between them. She then returns to the girls’ camp where Shauna persuades her to reveal Ben’s location. Consequently, everyone sets out searching for Coach Ben. As they explore the cave’s labyrinthine tunnels, Shauna, Akilah, and Van experience a string of bizarre, trippy dreams. Ben attributes these dreams and hallucinations to an airborne gas, but with the girls hearing eerie howling sounds, it could be that 1) they are on the brink of mental collapse due to the hardships they’ve faced or 2) they might be experiencing unusual trips as a result of consuming certain herbs. At this juncture, the truth remains elusive.

In brief, Shauna, Van, and Akilah each have distinct dreams: Shauna envisions herself swimming towards an imagined son, Van finds himself in a cabin that burns with an airplane seat, and Akilah converses with a peculiar llama. It appears the Wilderness is claiming its due, though the exact meaning remains unclear. As episode three of Yellowjackets season three progresses, they seem to be in a shared dream, with Lottie presiding as teacher and leader, and Ghost Jackie making an appearance. Although it’s uncertain whose dream this is, it seems more plausible that it’s Shauna’s, given the Jackieness of the situation.

What Does Ghost Jackie Want with Shauna, Akilah, and Van?

The three Yellowjackets are wearing their soccer clothes, and Ghost Jackie is playing with a slap bracelet on her arm. They share the slap bracelet among them as Ghost Jackie requests, trying to utilize it. Akilah manages effortlessly, while Van injures herself and receives a caution from Lottie about handling dangerous items. However, Ghost Jackie then hits Shauna’s neck with the slap bracelet, causing her to bleed excessively, and despite Akilah’s attempts, she is unable to help her.

Lottie warns that Shauna’s life is at stake unless Akilah intervenes. This could be a hint that Akilah will indeed rescue Shauna in a crucial situation during season three or later on the series Yellowjackets. As they regain consciousness, everyone notices Coach Ben alerting them about harmful gas in the area. Tai and Natalie, armed with a shotgun, then appear and insist that Ben will accompany them.

What Does the Ghost Jackie Dream Mean in Yellowjackets? 

In Yellowjackets season three, it’s challenging to pinpoint the precise meaning behind Shauna’s dream involving Ghost Jackie. Some aspects of the dream seemed unrelated to the main characters – like the Man With No Eyes roaming the hallways, a figure Tai frequently encounters. The recurrence of this dream could symbolize their collective struggle for survival in the wilderness, which now seems to be affecting them all equally. It’s plausible that Shauna’s experience mirrors the group dynamic as she sees Jackie return in her wilderness dream and even tries to kill her, indirectly responsible for Jackie’s demise. Given the circumstances, there’s a significant amount of guilt weighing on Shauna, which is understandable.

The responses to the slap bracelet could suggest the girls’ positions within the Wilderness group in Yellowjackets, where Jackie now holds a spiritual role. If Shauna doesn’t comply and yield to its demands, she will undoubtedly perish. Akilah, given her affinity for nature, seems particularly attuned to her surroundings. Van appears to have had (or may yet have) brushes with danger, mirroring her connection to the volatile element much like Tai’s with wolves. While Akilah and Van are eager to interact and take action, Shauna remains hesitant. This dream could offer intriguing hints for the rest of the season.
