Within the Season 2 finale, “Storytelling,” an unhinged Lottie continues to push her plan to enact one other ritual sacrifice to appease “It,” the It that for her was all the time there, demanding blood in alternate for meals. . The remainder of the ladies sense Lottie’s volatility and play alongside to not upset her. Issues go on, and go, and go within the path of a severe recreation of their outdated hunts, wherein the unfortunate Yellowjacket who pulls the sinister Queen of Hearts is hunted, killed, and cannibalized by the others.
Van and Taissa had been purported to have referred to as psychiatric providers to get Lottie again, however out of guilt (“She’s like that due to us,” Van says), they cancel the decision and resolve to assist her themselves. However issues escalate sooner than anybody can management, and when Shauna shoots the queen, the others don masks, choose up knives, and assume the outdated place. “You recognize there isn’t any ‘It’, proper? ‘It was’ simply us!” Shauna cries in worry.

It is really a greater different to select irremediable violence.
The surviving Yellowjackets lastly got here nose to nose with the last word reality: they had been all the time the monsters.
