“#’Yellowjackets’ Boss on Who Took [Spoiler] & That Sacrifice in the Present-Day Timeline<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the Yellowjackets<\/em> Season 1 finale \u201cSic Transit Gloria Mundi.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

The intense first season of the new Showtime drama wrapp<\/a>ed the present-day timeline for the surviving Yellowjackets with a murder cover-up, high school reunion, kidnapping, sacrificial altar, and election results.<\/p>\n

In the finale, Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), Natalie (Juliette Lewis), Taissa (Tawny Cypress), and Misty (Christina Ricci) worked together to get rid of Adam\u2019s (Peter Gadiot) body before attending the high school reunion (where their trauma was a main topic \u2026 for a member of the team who wasn\u2019t even on the plane). However<\/em>, once home, Shauna and Jeff (Warren Kole) learned that Adam had been reported as missing. Meanwhile, Natalie was sitting in her motel room, a shotgun under her chin, when people burst into her room \u2014 with that<\/em> symbol around their necks \u2014 and kidnapped her, just as Suzie (Colleen Wheeler) left her a voicemail about being followed and asking who Lottie is.<\/p>\n

Co-showrunner Jonathan Lisco breaks down the finale and teases what\u2019s ahead in Season 2 in the present-day timeline. (Stay tuned for more about what\u2019s next in 1996 in the woods.)<\/p>\n

Looking at who took Natalie, there\u2019s that symbol and Suzie brought up being followed and asked who Lottie is. So those people are Lottie\u2019s followers? Some sort of cult? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jonathan Lisco: <\/strong>It\u2019s a fairly easy line to draw, right, from the end of Season 1 to the last episode vectoring into Season 2. What she says is \u201cspill blood, my friends,\u201d in French and then she says, let the darkness set us free [when Teen Lottie left the bear heart as a sacrifice]. And so she\u2019s obviously latched onto something energetically bigger than herself. Whether or not it\u2019s to protect her from her fear is one thing. But we all know that whatever ritualistic stuff is brewing inside her is meaningful to her at this moment. And many of the members of the team also thinks so because the bear prostrated itself in front of her as if she was some kind of energetic force. So now cut forward 2021. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that what started in the wilderness is still alive 25 years later, but has just been sort of on a slow boil. And now for reasons that we will explore in Season 2, it\u2019s going to explode.<\/p>\n

\"Juliette<\/p>\n

What can you say about why they took Natalie, and how is that going to change Natalie\u2019s mindset? Because she was at a very low point before they burst into the room.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would say when you\u2019ve got a shotgun on the ground about to pull the trigger at your chin, yes, you are at a low point. And that may be the on-its-face answer: salvation. Somebody knew that Natalie was in distress and essentially wanted to save her from herself, but there may be darker roots to it as well in terms of how they intend to use Natalie on a pragmatic level.<\/p>\n

How\u2019s Natalie going to be handling that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

With her usual addictive vulnerability. Probably not well. She doesn\u2019t take to authority very well. Obviously we haven\u2019t broken Season 2 yet and I don\u2019t want to spoil it for you, but we\u2019ve got a lot of notions for what it looks like for Natalie to be a captive.<\/p>\n

\"Tawny<\/p>\n

Kailey Schwerman\/SHOWTIME<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Then we have Taissa, and assuming I\u2019m reading into that sacrifice and altar and smile correctly, she may be involved in whatever Lottie is<\/strong> or maybe she just kind of picked up something in the woods?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s so interesting that you\u2019ve made that connection. That is certainly a connection that is reasonable to make. But in that moment when we\u2019re just on Tawny\/Tai and she gives that look when she\u2019s awarded the state senatorship, I think what it says is, \u201cI think now I am becoming conscious of my alter ego. It\u2019s been something that I\u2019ve repressed. I know I\u2019ve been doing it, but now I\u2019m starting to see the advantages potentially of my dark side because essentially it just got me what I wanted.\u201d And so it\u2019ll be interesting to see how Taissa plays with that moving into Season 2. Will she double down on that dark force to try and get things accomplished in her life? Or will she try and suppress it even more? I think that\u2019s the more interesting thing to explore. Whether or not it cross-pollinates with the storyline with Natalie being taken and abducted is something which I\u2019d hate to sort of reveal at this point, but yes, there\u2019s a lot going on there.<\/p>\n

Should we assume her marriage is over at this point? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s put it this way. They\u2019re going to need some serious therapy. And I would like to think that if Simone realized that she did it unconsciously, if Simone [Rukiya Bernard] realized that the trauma from the woods was compelling her to do these things, she might not so easily give up on Taissa. So I wouldn\u2019t say that the marriage is over, no, but I think it\u2019s in need of some serious repair.<\/p>\n

\"Warren<\/p>\n

Kailey Schwerman\/SHOWTIME<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It looks like Shauna may not get away with murder like she thought, considering the police are looking into Adam\u2019s disappearance. What can you tease about legal ramifications and how Shauna\u2019s dealing with what she did? <\/strong>Because she killed Adam thinking he was the blackmailer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s funny, we could totally see that coming back to haunt her, but we could also see a world in which that\u2019s not a core part of Season 2, because what we don\u2019t want to do is tip the show into a detective story where it becomes about the concrete moves of the plot. That would entail, I think, introducing an entire detective character and then she\u2019d be trying to cover it up and in a way that\u2019s backwards looking, and I think what we\u2019d like to do now is really focus on the marriage \u2014 you were speaking of marriage before with Taissa \u2014 with Jeff, who I want to say I\u2019m gratified that the audience is starting to see that he\u2019s a good guy or at least has a good heart.<\/p>\n

At the beginning everyone\u2019s like, she\u2019s married to such a dope, she\u2019s in a domestic cage. But the truth is we always planned to dramatize their marriage in a really multidimensional way and show that he\u2019s not merely an idiot that she married. He\u2019s actually someone who deeply loves her. And in that moment, I think the audience was really endeared to him or at least I hope they were, when he was going to take the fall for her. So in Season 2, I think the more interesting storyline \u2014 obviously they\u2019ll have to evade capture and they\u2019ll have to evade suspicion of the police, should they get onto that, should we choose to walk down that road \u2014 will be how that murder and the realization of all her secrets affects their marriage. I think as writers, that\u2019s more interesting to us.<\/p>\n

They seemed happier, I think, than we\u2019ve ever seen them when they were on the couch before the news<\/a> report.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The dark deed completely bonded them together because like so many of these things, it\u2019s exciting. It breaks you out of your domesticity.<\/p>\n
