\n\t[This story contains MAJOR spoilers from the penultimate episdoe of season three of Yellowjackets<\/em>, \u201cHow the Story Ends.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThe Yellowjackets<\/em> are once again saying goodbye to one of their own.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s sort of like a last-in-first-out kind of thing, also with Lottie[\u2018s death and Simone Kessell],\u201d says Lauren Ambrose when speaking to The Hollywood Reporter <\/em>about her tragic ending in the penultimate episode of season three, \u201cHow the Story Ends.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYes, Adult Van\u2019s story ends this episode. It\u2019s an all-too-soon development for the beloved character who will be remembered by those who loved her for both her inherent goodness and for her self-sacrificial way out \u2014 to save the love of her life, Taissa (played by Tawny Cypress in present day and Jasmin Savoy Brown in the past). The episode began with a vision of younger Van visiting Adult Van while she\u2019s near death from cancer in the hospital. Teen Van invoked the classic adventure film The Goonies <\/em>to inspire Adult Van to keep fighting, and it\u2019s a key scene that came as a request from the actors.<\/p>\n

\n\tLiv Hewson, in the joint conversation below, tells THR<\/em> the hospital scene came out of conversations between Hewson and Ambrose after they found out about and began to digest Van\u2019s fate. \u201cWe thought it would be meaningful for Van and selfishly, we just wanted to work together,\u201d says Hewson. So they pitched the idea to their showrunners. The pair get another reunion scene at the episode. \u201cI felt a personal grief in saying goodbye to Van in the present,\u201d adds Hewson.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the episode, Adult Van finds the strength to leave the hospital and join her fellow Yellowjackets to defend themselves against Adult Melissa (played by guest star Hilary Swank), their former teammate who they had believed to be dead. After a bloody and fleshy faceoff between Melissa and Adult Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) \u2014 Shauna forces Melissa to eat a piece of her arm this episode<\/em> \u2014 the argument between the former flames escalates until Van finds Shauna, Misty (Christina Ricci) and Taissa (Cypress) unconscious from a carbon monoxide leak in Melissa\u2019s house. Van manages to save her friends and when she heads back into the house to kill Melissa, she\u2019s stopped by that inherent goodness. Van can\u2019t thrust a knife into Melissa\u2019s heart, even when she believes another sacrifice to the wilderness could buy her more time among the living. But when Van hesitates, Melissa\u2019s beliefs from the past are triggered and she<\/em> claims the sacrifice; Melissa stabs Van to death in the heart, and flees.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe episode, directed by returning Yellowjackets<\/em> helmer Ben Semanoff and written by\u00a0Sarah L. Thompson, ends with Ambrose\u2019s Van confronting Hewson\u2019s Van on a plane that viewers saw after the death of another main castmember when Adult Nat (played by departed star Juliette Lewis) was killed off in the season two finale. Van\u2019s plane is slightly different, with a pop-culture flair, and this time, young Van and old Van watch the movie of her death on a projection screen and ponder what comes next. \u201cThere is a real intentional ambiguity in the final exchange that we have with each other,\u201d Hewson explains.<\/p>\n

\n\tBelow, in a joint conversation with THR<\/em>, Ambrose and Hewson, the latter who uses they\/them pronouns, open up about their struggles around Van\u2019s fate and feeling like the guardians of their beloved character, while also going behind the scenes to reveal the scenes they requested and the work they put in to make sure Van\u2019s death would feel earned in the end. They also talk about filming Van\u2019s final scenes and how Ambrose plans to now give Van, who has been living on borrowed time, back to Liv.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re in so little control of it,\u201d Ambrose says of the story Yellowjackets<\/em> is telling, \u201cbut we know we told our part of the story as well as we could, and we brought our fullest selves. That\u2019s my treasure that I leave with and that\u2019s why I do this work, and why it\u2019s satisfying to have been a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m very sad to be speaking with you two, but thank you for doing this together.<\/strong> I\u2019m sure this is emotional for you both.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tLAUREN AMBROSE<\/strong> I hope it\u2019s sad. We worked hard to make it very sad.<\/p>\n

\n\tLIV HEWSON <\/strong>That\u2019s true. We did.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> This is such a special character that Liv created. I got to come on and continue good old Van into her adult years and her eventual end. I work in the theater and, you never know exactly what\u2019s going to happ<\/a>en with a TV show, but with this character, we know how the curtain closes. When I\u2019m on stage, I have a little more control over that. I know what you see from when the curtain goes up to when the curtain goes down. So I feel satisfied that Liv and I told the story to when the curtain does go down on Van. And now, I hand it back to Liv to fill out.<\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> It\u2019s been such a special journey to walk Van through into adulthood and then get to tell this part of the story with\u00a0Lauren,\u00a0to get to do it together was so special. I hope it\u2019s special to the audience as well. Obviously, it is incredibly emotional and incredibly sad, but as\u00a0Lauren\u00a0says, there is real satisfaction in the work that we did together on bringing this character to life and saying goodbye to her in this way.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> Also, we got to actually work together, which was surely one of the things you want to talk to us about.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tLiv Hewson as Teen Van and Lauren Ambrose as Adult Van in Ambrose\u2019s final scene. \u201cShe\u2019s said to me a few times, \u2018I\u2019m just giving her back to you,\u201d which I think is really special,\u201d says Hewson of Ambrose.<\/span><\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKailey Schwerman\/Paramount+ with SHOWTIME.<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tYes, I want you both to tell me what\u2019s coming for all of us on that plane\u2026 But to go back, Liv and I spoke at the beginning of the season and you told me there were some lines cut from Van\u2019s opening monologue in the wilderness. Was anything cut that would have tipped viewers that Van\u2019s death was coming? Because I didn\u2019t see it coming.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> You didn\u2019t?<\/p>\n

\n\tNo. Not Van!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> From that monologue, I don\u2019t think anything was caught that would have flagged this. But it\u2019s interesting that you say you didn\u2019t see it coming, because I do think there\u2019s a really fascinating dynamic at play with Van and death, which I talked to the showruners [Ashley Lyle, Bart Nickerson and Jonathan Lisco] about while we were working on this season. Van\u2019s relationship to death is so specific, sort of through a meta accident, right? The decision not to kill Van early on [in season one by the showrunners] created a really specific dynamic where Van then almost died but didn\u2019t die a bunch of times, and that wasn\u2019t lost on me. For Van to die, thematically, I felt we needed to be saying something about that relationship. That her relationship to death is unique. So the circumstances of her death, I think, needed to be unique as well.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> I mean, I get why they [they wrote her death]. It\u2019s like this ultimate survivor surviving an abusive household and alcoholic parent, surviving the plane crash, the wolves and on and on. And then maybe surviving cancer or not surviving cancer, and then dying in a way where she\u2019s sacrificing herself, I guess was the idea!<\/p>\n

\n\tThat borrowed time meta aspect tricked me into thinking Van wouldn\u2019t die. Liv, you came in as a guest actor and the creators loved Van so much that they expanded the character, so much so that Lauren you then came in as her older in season two when you and Simone Kessell joined the cast. Now, both of you are dead in present day. [Note: Lottie\u2019s death came earlier in the season, with the mystery of who killed her to be revealed in the finale<\/em>.] Lauren, when you first came on the show, did you know the full arc and that she would die in season two?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> No, I didn\u2019t know. At the beginning of this season, there was a call [with the showrunners] and it was discussed what I was going to do. It was like, \u201cYeah, the strike, and show business is hard right now\u2026 and then we\u2019re gonna kill Van. We want to raise the stakes.\u201d (Laughs<\/em>) It\u2019s sort of like a last-in-first-out kind of thing with Lottie [and Simone Kessel]. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on there, but I feel like the story definitely expanded pretty quickly. It\u2019s probably a better question for the writers, and I\u2019m glad it\u2019s not my problem to solve, but I suppose they want to get back to the sort of thesis of the show. <\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s what I was really interested in: how the trauma was playing on these adult women in their current lives and how that was affecting them, no matter what they were up to. And then, of course, there was this love story with Jasmin\/Tawny and Taissa. These two girls are cosmically connected and can only have their love in this wilderness. It was a very different time when they were teenagers in the \u201890s. It was really different for queer kids and gay kids, and so they were able to live more fully as themselves and have a fuller expression of their sexuality in the wilderness. I do lament that a little bit, because I think it would have been interesting to explore this queer woman, middle-aged woman dealing with trauma and how it was when they were in the woods and then when they reconnect, it\u2019s a very different world and a very different time. I feel like an exploration of that could have been really interesting.<\/p>\n

\n\tLike a Tai\/Van spinoff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> Well, that\u2019s true. There are so many storylines spinning that you kind of can\u2019t get to everybody in depth.<\/p>\n

\n\tLauren, did you then tell Liv about your fate? Liv, how did you find out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> I went and asked directly on my own, because I heard chatter about it. I was like, \u201cHey, so I\u2019ve heard this is happening,\u201d and I was told, \u201cYes, it is.\u201d I was really cool and professional about it, just like, \u201cOkay, cool. Totally get it. If you\u2019re open, I\u2019d love to talk about the how and why and all of that.\u201d And then I went home and cried. Because I felt a personal grief in saying goodbye to Van in the present. It was just sad. Once I cried about it, I came back and I was like, \u201cOkay, so can I ask a couple of questions?\u201d The showrunners were very generous with me in talking about where they were taking it and how it was going to happen and when.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> In my experience, they didn\u2019t quite know how it was going to happen and when. But that was one of the things that I felt, similar to Liv, very protective of. That\u2019s our job, right? To be the guardian, for a little while, of the character on set. Liv and I had some nice conversations about: let\u2019s do our best to make sure that, in whatever way we can control it, which is not much, that this feels earned. That was the worry, right? We want to protect Van as the guardians of the character.<\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> We had some really, really meaningful conversations about that. And the notion of the two of us working together and having scenes together in and around that happening in the story came out of a conversation Lauren and I had. It was Lauren\u2019s idea, initially. It was something we asked for, for a couple of reasons. The framing device of the younger and older counterparts talking to each other already exists as a narrative device in the show, so there was precedent. We thought it would be meaningful for Van and selfishly, we just wanted to work together.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> We really wanted to work together. That\u2019s the one thing you don\u2019t get to do, of course. It\u2019s pretty wild, actually, I\u2019ve never had the experience where you\u2019re sharing a character. It was revealed to me when I watched the first episode that I was in and I was like, \u201cOh, when Liv is on screen, our character is on screen. I am on screen when Liv is on screen.\u201d So it\u2019s really this sharing and, of course, it\u2019s filling in the backstory as you go. So it\u2019s sort of bonkers.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s very cool that scenes we see of young and old Van together came out of your conversations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> It became this really beautiful piece of the story to me, because it\u2019s the dynamic of Van\u2019s inner child looking after her as she\u2019s going through this really turbulent and horrible experience. It was this lovely meta thing where myself in playing young Van, I\u2019m shepherding Van in the present through this experience, and then I really felt like myself as an actor looking after Van Palmer as the episode was happening. That\u2019s really special to me. I\u2019m so grateful that idea was taken and ran with, and that it became such a big part of how the episode shakes out.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> It\u2019s why this character\u2019s become such a favorite of fans, because Liv plays her with such an openness. There\u2019s this sort of ironic, sarcastic humor, but then there\u2019s this bright light of openness and love of the world. I tried to think about what would happen to Van over all these years and what the trauma of it all would do to that bright light, and I thought it might be dulled and hardened, harder on the outside. <\/p>\n

\n\tI haven\u2019t seen it yet, so I don\u2019t know exactly how the scene ends up, but I know that in that airplane when it was just us two actors, we really had to figure out how to do this kind of mysterious and emotional scene. Like, how are we doing this? But there was this wonderful thing of the anger of the betrayal when my Van says to her, \u201cWhy did you send me in there to die, and why is this happening?\u201d All of the anger that maybe we all have of the illusion of control that we have over our own mortality. I mean, we walk around in an illusion of that \u2014 as well as an illusion of secure jobs in show business! (Laughs<\/em>) As Jeff Hiller says on one of my favorite shows Somebody Somewhere<\/em>, \u201cNo one said show business is fair.\u201d (Laughs<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\n\tBut it turned into this beautiful thing where beautiful, young, hopeful and open Van was bringing along old Van to say, \u201cSoften, soften soften.\u201d I don\u2019t know how they edited it \u2014 I haven\u2019t seen it yet and I look forward to seeing it \u2014 but we had this moment where there was a big shift in the scene where it works. She cracks her open. I really relish that day on set because it really felt like something happened.<\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON <\/strong>Absolutely. It really did feel like that.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the end of that airplane scene, Lauren, your eyes go wide. I spoke with your director Ben Semanoff, who shared his interpretation of the scene and now I want to hear yours. Are they watching the movie of how Van\u2019s death saves Taissa, or are they looking beyond this life to what\u2019s next in the afterlife?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> I take less of a literal view. I think there is really intentional ambiguity in the final exchange that we have with each other. The final thing that my Van says to\u00a0Lauren\u2019s Van is, \u201cWhere would be the fun in that?\u201d It\u2019s this sort of acknowledgement that I can\u2019t tell you what happens now. It\u2019s impossible to know what happens now. But even as I leave, I am with you and you\u2019re going to find out; we\u2019re going to find out. My take on the end of that scene is more contained and personal. It\u2019s more about Van talking to herself, and I think it is a really gentle and kind acknowledgement that death is fundamentally unfair and fundamentally unknowable, but that doesn\u2019t mean that there isn\u2019t any fun and that doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019ll be alone.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> You said, \u201cCome on.\u201d That was a big turn of saying: \u201cTake me in, take in what I have to teach you.\u201d Because I was really annoyed with the vision of my younger self when she first shows up. It\u2019s like, \u201cUgh, this idiot. This annoying\u2026\u201d You think about how you were in high school and maybe you don\u2019t even want to take in the reality of who you were.<\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> Even if you didn\u2019t commit horrible acts of violence!<\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> Right, let alone when you might not want to face how far you let things go in the wilderness!<\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> That part of it was so poignant for me, too. I loved playing out that dynamic with you,\u00a0Lauren, of watching Van at that age not wanting to be with herself when she was younger. It\u2019s like, \u201cI don\u2019t want to think about you, get away from me.\u201d And then to play that dance, that push and pull of, \u201cI\u2019m with you no matter what. I\u2019m a part of you. We\u2019re here together. Acknowledge me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSo then after going through these steps when finding out about Van\u2019s fate \u2014 getting to talk about it together, plot it out and then film it together \u2014 did it make more sense to you? Have you made peace with it? Did it feel like it\u2019s a satisfying way for Van to go out, to save Tai?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> When I think about filming it, I think about how Jenna [Burgess], who plays Melissa in the \u201890s timeline, and I went to set when\u00a0Lauren and Hilary Swank were working together on that scene. Jenna went to talk to Hilary about Melissa and Van\u2019s dynamic in the wilderness, and then I went because I needed to be there. I wanted to be there. So again, there was this special meta layer of Jenna and I watching that happen, and then me watching her death happen knowing that younger Van is watching it happen later in the story, and that we were going to film that a couple of days from then. That\u2019s a really good example of the ways in which this entire experience has been very meta textually loaded for me, and I think for the two of us. And that is just such a unique experience, in my career thus far anyway, and I\u2019m really grateful to have had that.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> It was great to have Liv there. I actually brought Liv in the room at one point. I was like \u201cCome on.\u201d It was at this house and the scene is fairly bizarre; the carbon monoxide and the oxygen tank, and I\u2019m on the verge of death and then having some burst of energy where I can haul grown women\u2019s bodies out of the house\u2026 It was pretty challenging to parse and figure out how to do it. I was hell bent, though. It was a crazy day, there were so many people around. I said to Hilary Swank, \u201cI\u2019m so glad you\u2019re here. Because I admire your work so much. So let\u2019s figure this out. We\u2019re gonna figure this out together.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tI asked if we could get everybody out of the room and create some space to let something real happen, because I was worried, again, feeling like the guardian of Van, you wanted to feel something real. And, I don\u2019t know, I think Hilary and I really did get to something cool. Again, I don\u2019t know how it\u2019s edited, but I do feel like on the day, something pretty intense happened and I felt personally very good about the work that day and that Liv was there. It just felt like something was crackling in the room.<\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> That\u2019s exactly how it felt. It was incredibly powerful watching the two of you figure it out and work together; you are both such amazing actors. Lauren\u2019s right, she came and got me from video village in the garage. She was like, \u201cCome be in here.\u201d So Hilary and\u00a0Lauren\u00a0are playing out Melissa killing Van, and I\u2019m off camera in the kitchen. Knowing that I\u2019m watching this as Liv, thinking about everything that had to happen in order to get here, and then knowing I\u2019ll be Van watching it in the plane later. It was a day that was incredibly charged and quite heavy with meaning in so many ways. And so much of that is\u00a0Lauren. It was\u00a0Lauren\u00a0and what she bought to this character and to this story.<\/p>\n

\n\tI did speak with Hilary Swank about filming your death scene. What I was left with, as a viewer, was Van\u2019s goodness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> I use that word all the time, actually. That\u2019s actually something I said to the showrunners. I was like, \u201cI guess what we\u2019re going after is that Van has this inherent just goodness.\u201d I think that\u2019s the perfect word. I\u2019m glad you got that. I\u2019m glad that reached you.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd it\u2019s unfortunately what gets her killed, it\u2019s what makes her hesitate in the scene, long enough for Melissa (Swank) to switch the knife and use it on her. When they called \u201ccut\u201d on that scene, and now knowing that Liv was there on the day, what was that like Lauren?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> We actually got to shoot the plane scene as the very last scene, so that was great. The day [of the death scene] was just a relief to be over, because we were covered in blood and sticky knives and it was so weird and long. (Laughs<\/em>) But yes, I do think we got to the place where something cool happened. But it was beautiful that we actually got to do the last scenes on the very last day. And after they said \u201ccut,\u201d the crew was so lovely to give me a nice moment of appreciation. The curtain came down and Liv and I got to take a little bow together as the character.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs actors, you have these jobs and you go job to job. You run around and the story is what it is, and it might be good and it might work and it might not and everything, but what my treasure is was working in the adult timeline with all those amazing women my age. I\u2019ve never had an experience like that, working with people where we would typically be auditioning for the same roles. We got to work as colleagues and talk about being working mothers and all the things. And to have that time with Liv walking in [Vancouver\u2019s] Stanley Park, talking about Van, when we walked like 20 miles! Or taking that bow together and the feeling of satisfaction that we felt. Again, we\u2019re in so little control of it, but we know we told our part of the story as well as we could, and we brought our fullest selves. That\u2019s my treasure that I leave with and that\u2019s why I do this work, and why it\u2019s satisfying to have been a part of it.<\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> Those are the experiences of sharing this character with\u00a0Lauren\u00a0that I keep very close to me. It\u2019s something I could never have imagined when I first started this job. I knew that Van was special to me; characters like her don\u2019t come around all that often. But I certainly could never have imagined the extent to which she\u2019s grown and developed, and to have\u00a0Lauren\u00a0here and to share this character with her has been such a meaningful experience. I\u2019m going to be proud of that and grateful for it forever.<\/p>\n

\n\tLauren, any thoughts or hopes to come back and haunt in a potential season four, and that perhaps we haven\u2019t seen the last of you on Yellowjackets<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> Gee, I don\u2019t have any particular thoughts about that.<\/p>\n

\n\tWould you be interested if the right story came along?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know. We\u2019ll just leave that all as a big show-business mystery.<\/p>\n

\n\tLiv, have you begun to think about how you will keep\u00a0Lauren with you when you start the trek alone again as Van, assuming the show returns for season four?<\/strong> [Note: Paramount+ has not yet renewed Yellowjackets<\/em> for season four.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> Lauren\u00a0has always said this beautiful thing. She\u2019s said to me a few times, \u201cI\u2019m just giving her back to you,\u201d which I think is really special.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> That was the feeling on set: \u201cThis is fitting.\u201d Liv started this beautiful character, created something out of basically nothing. She had some cool scenes and made the absolute most of it. And, I don\u2019t know if everybody knows this, but Liv was also improvising and often writing much of their own dialogue and really made this character into something that then became a viable person for me to come and inhabit as an adult character. So on that day when we took our little bow together, it felt very fitting that they started it, I continued it and now I hand it back to you.<\/p>\n

\n\tHEWSON<\/strong> A real a real gift for me is that\u00a0Lauren\u2019s performance is such a clear roadmap of where this character goes. From a technical perspective, I am really fascinated to be able to sketch A to B some more. Because Lauren\u2019s right that when Van is older, there is a real like armoring and hardening and sort of dampening of this light that she has as a younger person. I\u2019m excited to grow into the Van that we meet as\u00a0Lauren\u00a0has played her, and the connection between those two halves of this person is work that continues to be very special to me.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMBROSE<\/strong> Basically I\u2019ll continue to haunt Liv, whether I\u2019m there or not! I can haunt you by text message (Laughs<\/em>) But really, Van doesn\u2019t go. And perhaps it\u2019s satisfying to know what happens.<\/p>\n
