Yellowjackets Season 3 Finale Revealed Two Major Mysteries That Haunted Fans for 4 Years
The finale of Yellowjackets season 3 finally revealed the secrets that we have been waiting for since the very first episode – who was hiding under the horned queen's white robes and who died from falling into a death trap. Let's find out and also see what fans think about it.
The final episode of Season 3 of Yellowjackets was released on April 11 under the mysterious title Full Circle. As a result, the story really did come full circle, expanding on the events of the first episode of Season 1.
The Pit Girl From Episode 1 Season 1 Was Mari
We finally learned the identity of the girl who fell into a trap during a chase in the very first episode – it was Mari.
The creators hinted that Mari would be the victim of the ritual murder. In the first episode of Season 3, the girls staged a competitive game in which Shauna chased Mari.
Then Mari fell into a pit trap that Coach Ben had built to catch animals, which also became a clear hint of her tragic fate.
The Mysterious Horned Queen in White Turned Out to Be Shauna
In Season 3, in the 1990s timeline, Shauna became the new leader of the Yellowjackets. Nat was “dethroned” because she killed Coach Ben. Nat did it out of compassion because the man was suffering and slowly dying. Ben was imprisoned – he was accused of setting the cabin on fire in Season 2.
Lottie remained the team's spiritual leader. She persuaded the girls to participate in ritual hunts to please the forest deity who supposedly protected them.
The elected queens of the Yellowjackets wear a white robe and a crown of antlers. During the feast, Shauna puts on a queen's outfit – this scene exactly repeats the moment from the first episode of Season1.
The Season 3 finale finally revealed the identity of the mysterious horned queen – it was Shauna.
What Did Viewers Think of the Yellowjackets Season 3 Finale?
The final episode of Season 3 of Yellowjackets, Full Circle, was one of the highest rated of the entire series with an 8.0/10 on IMDb.
However, fans are not so enthusiastic about the new season. Many viewers continue to watch the show only because of the strong cast. Reddit user Ok_Tailor3111 wrote:
“I honestly think if the acting were worse I'd have stopped watching a long time ago. The plot went absolutely nowhere but in circles this season.”
Despite mixed reviews from viewers, the third chapter had good viewership, so there's every reason to expect that Yellowjackets will be renewed for another season.
