‘Yellowjackets’ Season 3, Episode 3 Recap: It Wants More

And that’s when they wake up, rescued by Ben, who instead of being celebrated, finds himself looking down the barrel of a gun.

The visions are a clever mix of the really silly — the slap bracelet, for instance — and the genuinely terrifying. That’s a mode that also works when you’re talking about the proclivities of teenage girls, whether they are metaphorically or literally cut throat.

The adult plotlines in this episode also carry on this mash-up of tones. The grown-up Yellowjackets are acting more and more childish, which is great for comedy but perhaps bad for everyone around them. Lottie, for instance, is getting close to Callie, taking her on a shopping trip where the shopping is just shoplifting. Although Callie’s mission was to get close to Lottie to ply her for information, Callie seems to be falling under Lottie’s spell. Suspended from school, Callie needs friends, and Lottie is the fun older sister she never had.

This, of course, is maddening to Shauna, who reaches out to Misty to figure out what happened during the sleepover gone awry. Misty, desperately, wants to hang, so she invites Shauna out for scones and then announces she is going to tag along on whatever errands Shauna has to run. Misty thinks they’re having a girls’ day; Shauna just wants to get rid of her. Luckily for Shauna, the outing is cut short when her minivan’s brakes give out and she and Misty are sent careening through New Jersey to the sounds of Limp Bizkit’s “*******,” an absolutely incredible music cue for the moment.

When they finally come to a stop, Shauna’s mean girl comes out. She calls Misty a “verified psycho,” hurting her feelings in the way only people who have known each other as teen girls can.

Adult **** and Adult Van, meanwhile, find themselves regressing in different ways. Yes, they are sitting on the couch watching VHS tapes of “****-wee’s Playhouse,” but they are also leaning into the beliefs they picked up in the forest. Van learns her ******* has stopped spreading, and **** reveals to her that the waiter who chased them when they dined and dashed has died.
