by

The third season of “Yellowjackets” is off to a fast start, unlike its second season which moved a bit slowly at times. The third episode, titled “Them’s The Breaks,” was particularly intense in the “Yellowjackets” series and may even surpass some of the previous episodes. This week’s episode featured significant revelations about Jackie’s necklace, poison gas in the wilderness, encounters with the Man with No Eyes, and new mysteries regarding the nature of reality on “Yellowjackets.” If you’re still trying to process all that happened, join us as we recap and discuss the highlights from episode three of “Yellowjackets” season three.

Revelations From the Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 3—“Them’s The Breaks”

Past Timeline: Mari and Shauna Have a Ceasefire in Season 3, Episode 3 of Yellowjackets

It appears that Shauna and Mari have found a way to coexist despite their hostile interactions in Yellowjackets season three’s opening episode. Their improved understanding, or at least recognition of each other’s anger following Mari’s return from being “abducted” by Coach Ben, has led to an unexpected alliance. Initially, we didn’t anticipate them working together again.

Past Timeline: The Girls Are Ready to Kill Coach Ben After Mari Betrays Him

Despite maintaining a relatively tranquil lifestyle within their new settlement, the Yellowjackets squad seems primed to resort to murder swiftly in “Them’s The Breaks.” Without much hesitation, Mari reveals Coach Ben’s whereabouts to the group, setting the stage for a potential manhunt. Guided by Mari, they return to the cave where Coach Ben resides, and it appears as if the girls are poised to assault him immediately upon sight. They openly discuss their intention to possibly kill him. Neither Natalie nor Misty make significant efforts to dissuade them from this violent path.

Past Timeline: There is Some Kind of Poison or Gas in the Caves That Causes Hallucinations

In a surreal scene unfolds, it’s revealed that dangerous gas or poison lurks beneath the wilderness of the Yellowjackets. This substance is capable of inducing intense hallucinations. In one such hallucination, Shauna, Akilah, and Van are drawn into a scenario where they experience a serene heavenly environment that soon transforms into a deadly one. It seems as though the poison, or perhaps the wilderness itself, communicates to them in this place, essentially warning of their impending doom. Spectral figures like Ghost Jackie, Lottie, and the Man with No Eyes also manifest during this experience.

Coach Ben saves Van from death by the poison, but in the end, the girls all turn on him anyway.

Present Timeline: Van’s Cancer Is in Remission in Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 3

It turns out that Van’s cancer is now in remission, a surprising development for many viewers. In Yellowjackets season three, episode three, when Van visits a doctor after stepping on glass, her blood tests show that her stage four cancer has ceased spreading. With the deaths of adult Nat and the waiter at Van and Tai’s dinner, they believe the wilderness is once again affecting them. However, they seem unconcerned about these losses or the potential cost of this apparent cure in the early episodes of Yellowjackets.

Present Timeline: The Man with No Eyes Was in a Commercial for an Ice Cream Parlor

In an astonishingly bizarre turn of events within one of the most extraordinary scenes on “Yellowjackets” yet, the Man without Eyes makes an appearance in a commercial for Ozzie’s Ice Cream Parlor during episode three of season three. As Tai and Van are reminiscing their past by watching an old episode of Pee Wee’s Playhouse, they stumble upon this ad. Tai recalls that she used to watch the show every weekend, suggesting she might have subconsciously incorporated the Man without Eyes into her hallucinations after seeing him in the ad. However, this doesn’t explain why Akilah, Shauna, and Van also encountered the same enigmatic figure during their wilderness excursions.

Present Timeline: Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 3 Reveals Lottie Has Jackie’s Necklace

On the television series ‘Yellowjackets’, Jackie’s necklace carries a significant weight, often associated with impending danger. Throughout the show, we’ve witnessed the necklace as a harbinger of misfortune for its bearers. In the third episode of season three, Lottie, who was the most recent owner, presents it to Callie, Shauna’s daughter. Lottie expresses that it seems fitting, and even asks Shauna if she feels the same way. Unsurprisingly, Shauna reacts angrily and asks Lottie to leave her home.

Present Timeline: Misty Finally Acknowledges Shauna Is a Bad Friend

As a movie enthusiast, I can’t help but feel it’s high time in the third season of Yellowjackets, in “Them’s The Breaks,” that Misty Quigley realizes she deserves more than Shauna’s friendship, which seems to only surface when it suits her. But

New Questions From the Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 3—“Them’s The Breaks”

Are There Really Two Realities in Yellowjackets World, as Mari Suggests in “Them’s The Breaks”?

In the third episode of season three in the series “Yellowjackets,” Mari confides in Coach Ben her belief that there are two versions of reality, with the harmful one merely concealed or biding its time, but both are genuine. This suggests that the wilderness may have unveiled the malevolent reality and they’re now inhabiting a different dimension of existence. Could it be that the “Yellowjackets” universe reflects this duality, with the possibility that the girls were transported into a dark realm? Similar to shows like “Lost,” which explored the concept of hellish realms and limbo as part of their narratives, could they have been moved to a sinister universe?

Are The Wilderness Rituals Less About Cannibalism and More About Sacrifices and Miracles?

Initially, our assumption was that the wilderness rituals involved cannibalism. However, it appears that death itself is the significant factor. The idea of sacrifices leading to miracles has been subtly introduced in the third season of Yellowjackets, and we’re eager to see where this plot development leads us.

Who is “It” Exactly, and What Does “It” Want?

In recent discussions, “It” has been mentioned more often. Although we’ve encountered “It” previously, it seems like the nature of “It” will be clarified during Yellowjackets season three. As for its intentions, it appears to desire destruction, hinted by the coyote carrying a dead rabbit that Van and Tai observe while pondering this exact question. However, we’ll hold off on drawing definite conclusions until more details emerge.

Past Timeline: Are the Noises of the Wilderness Real? Is It Poison Gas or Forest Gods?

Once more, we find ourselves questioning: Is it collective illusion or the woods truly whispering? The Yellowjackets are reporting increasingly synchronous moans, shrieks, and growls from the wilderness, seemingly at random intervals. Could they all be experiencing a mass hallucination, or is the forest indeed making such sounds?

Past Timeline: What Will Happen to Coach After Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 3?

In episode three of Yellowjackets season three, it appeared as if the team was trying to eliminate Coach Ben. However, was he able to persuade them otherwise? Fingers crossed that he managed to do so because we’re fond of Coach Ben!

Present Timeline: Why Is Callie So Drawn to Lottie?

The song ‘Them’s The Breaks’ hints at the reason behind Callie’s fascination with Lottie, but doesn’t explicitly reveal it. Could it be her natural inquisitiveness, the workings of destiny, or perhaps a deeper attraction?

Present Timeline: Will Van’s Cancer Stay in Remission on Yellowjackets Season 3?

In the TV series ‘Yellowjackets’, we’re left with a lingering sense of sorrow for Van. Although his cancer appears to have gone into remission as depicted in episode three of season three, one can’t help but wonder if this respite will endure. Furthermore, how many people might Van and Tai resort to killing in their desperate bid to keep Van healthy? It seems too good to be true, and unfortunately, it likely is.

Present Timeline: Who Messed with Shauna’s Car and What Do They Want?

During their journey in “Them’s The Breaks,” Shauna’s car brakes unexpectedly malfunctioned, leaving both her and Misty in a predicament. It’s highly unlikely that Misty caused this mishap, but if not her, who could be responsible? Could it be the enigmatic figure trailing Shauna? Or is someone targeting the Yellowjackets in season three, trying to eliminate them? We’ll have to keep watching to find out.

Present Timeline: Does Yellowjackets season 3, episode 3 Hint That Callie Is Pit Girl?

It’s been widely thought that Shauna’s daughter, Callie, might be the character known as Pit Girl, who is second in popularity only to Mari. The third episode of Yellowjackets’ third season seems to suggest this more. After all, Pit Girl has dark hair and is seen wearing Jackie’s heart necklace. In the episode “Them’s The Breaks,” Lottie gives Callie the necklace based on a hunch. Could this intuition be hinting at something in the future?

Present Timeline: What Is the Man with No Eyes Doing in an Ice Cream Parlor Ad?

It’s quite puzzling; how could the Man with No Eyes possibly relate to ice cream? Is this just a chance occurrence, or does he have a hidden sweetness that we’re unaware of? We’ve always admired him, but this connection seems rather unexpected. Perhaps future events will reveal how the Man with No Eyes and Ozzie’s Ice Cream Parlor are connected.

That wraps up our summary of the third episode in season three of ‘Yellowjackets’, titled “Them’s The Breaks.” Stay tuned with us next week as we delve deeper into the enigmatic world of ‘Yellowjackets’.
