Yellowjackets flavour 2 theories

Talking about Yellowjacket theories is nearly as skilful every bit watching the show itself! Reddit is a good identify to autumn into the rabbit role.

Here are some of the biggest and almost outlandish theories we've seen going into flavour ii.

Pit daughter is Allie: In the very starting time scene in the pilot, a girl runs through the snowy woods and falls to her decease in a pit. A group of people, led by the Antler Queen, seem to chop her upwards into a meal. Some fans call up that the scene may not be a flashback to 1996, but could be set in the present day — and that the girl is Allie, Shauna and Jeff's daughter.

Lottie'due south cult is active: The Antler Queen appears to be Lottie (or at least she was for a fourth dimension in the by). As the pit girl scene shows, she has at to the lowest degree half-dozen members in her cult. Simply it looks like the cult moved to the outside world beyond the wood. In the present, Natalie's sponsor finds out that Lottie withdrew money from Travis' banking concern account later he died. Perchance she's using the cash to fund her cult. Members of that cult seemingly kidnapped Natalie from her hotel room right earlier she was about to shoot herself.

Developed Taissa is in the cult: The finale also revealed that Taissa has a sacrificial altar in the basement of her house. Her wife, Simone, finds their missing dog's severed head and what appears to be a homo centre (maybe Adam's?). Simone'south discovery is intercut with Taissa learning she won the state senate race. Is Tai nevertheless a member of the cult? Did she brand the sacrifice believing information technology would help her win?

The symbol: There are a lot of theories about the mysterious symbol throughout the prove. Some fans call up it depicts a woman hanging upside down from a hook, like the pit girl. Others believe it has do with alchemy. And ane Redditor believes information technology's a trigonometry problem that points to an escape.

The man with no eyes: This absolutely terrifying effigy has appeared several times to Taissa as a child, equally a teen and as an developed. He may just be a specter of death that is entirely in her heed. Some fans think he's the ghost of the hunter whose cabin the teens are living in. Others remember it's a demon/monster that influences Lottie and the cult members to go cannibals.
