 Hello everybody. Welcome back to Esoteric Atlanta. Of course, my name is Bryce. I'm very excited about this show today. This is not something that I typically do on my channel, but I mentioned something in the community tab and you guys all said let's go for it. So today, we're going to be talking about what has turned into my favorite television show currently, which is Yellow Jackets. Now, I understand that I'm probably going to get some people on this channel who have never watched me before just because Yellow Jackets is such a big show and has such a huge fan base. So if you are new, if you're one of those people that just clicked on this video because you saw Yellow Jackets, welcome. I'm really, really glad that you're here. If you are a fan of Yellow Jackets, then obviously you're probably, I'm assuming, probably a fan of folklore, conspiracy mysteries. And so I will put down in the description box below my conspiracies playlist as well as my Mystery Monday playlist if you would like to check out those. This is the first time though that I'm ever covering a TV show. Now, if you've never seen Yellow Jackets, first of all you're missing out. I highly suggest you watch it. It's brilliant. Second of all, I'm going to be giving some spoilers. I'm not going to be holding back on what happens in the storyline. So I'm just giving you a warning right now that there are going to be spoilers in this. If you want to watch season one and season two first before watching this episode, totally up to you. Don't say I didn't warn you because this is your warning. Now, most of you who have been following me for a long time know that I did research. I love to research. I love the art of storytelling. This is what I studied in school. Before I went off to India and studied philosophy in Sanskrit and all that stuff in India, I studied literature in school. I interned in the West End in London. I also interned at a radio station. And so I am very, very, very much into the art of storytelling. And that's kind of how I started my channel anyway. I was just trying to look at these weird, these folklore conspiracies and mysteries from a storytelling format. And Yellow Jackets, in my opinion, is one of the most fantastic stories and projects that gives us so much to contemplate when it comes to character development and the reality of what these characters are going through in this story. And that, my friends, is why art is so important because no matter where we come from in this world, whether it's different countries, different socioeconomic backgrounds, different religions, different races, different genders, different political backgrounds, whatever. At the end of the day, we all have an emotional center. We all deal with human suffering. We all deal with a human condition. So things like fear, abandonment, psychosis, which we're going to talk about with Yellow Jackets, the need to be accepted, deceit, jealousy, all these complex human emotions we all deal with and can't understand at a very visceral level. And this is one of the reasons why I think Yellow Jackets is so sensational. Now, of course, we're going to be talking a lot about trauma because, I mean, that's kind of the point of the show. And so if you're triggered by any type of discussion about PTSD or CPTSD, I'm giving you this warning now. Normally, I don't give those warnings, but I know I'm probably going to be attracting some new viewers. So I just want to let you know we're going to heavily talk about trauma and psychosis and all that kind of stuff, neurosis, along with the subject of the television series. So Cliff Notes versions, what's the crux of Yellow Jackets? Yellow Jackets is basically a story about a girl soccer team who goes to nationals in 1996 and crashes into a forest in Ontario. And they're out there, they're stuck out in the wilderness for about 19 months, according to what I've read. Today, Friday, May 26 is the day that the last episode of season two drops. So I've just read they're out, they're still out in the wilderness as far as I'm concerned as of right now, they haven't been rescued yet. However, the brilliant thing about this show is that it goes back and forth between 1996 and the present time. And so you're seeing these traumatic events happen to these girls who already have a history together because they are presumably kids that grew up together there in high school. And so there's a very, you know, the kids you grow up with, there's a very special bond that you have with the kids that you grew up with. Those are deep friendships and it's not like when you're an adult where you have the option to walk away from people. In a lot of cases with children and you can't walk away from the kids you grew up with, you just kind of got to grow up together and go through your growing pains together. So even before, if you think about the psychology of these characters, even before they were put in this like super survival situation, they already have a massive history together, right? They're also on a team, they're on a soccer team together, so they've learned to work together and they're really talented. They're really talented soccer players, hence why they're flying to go off to nationals. Now again, this does take place, the crash, the crux of the trauma takes place in 1996, which is another element of the story that I personally love because in 1996 I was 13 years old. And so a lot of the music that they play, a lot of the references that they make, I can relate to because the characters that get stuck in the wilderness are only a few years older than me. So again, in 1996 I would have been in what like the eighth grade, these were seniors in high school. So there's not that much of an age gap between me and these characters. So I appreciate that, I appreciate the references. You also have to remember in 1996 the world was very different. We did not have cell phones, we did not have the internet. It was just a very different world than what kids have today. Now it goes back and forth between 1996 and the current time. And so you're seeing the trauma of what happened in 1996 and the plane crash play out in these women's lives in their 40s. Now along with the trauma of being stuck in the wilderness for 19 months, there's a lot of mysteries at play as well. And that's some stuff that as the audience, I know some of the mysteries have been kind of revealed, but not all of them. And so something really major happened to these girls out in this wilderness, out in this forest for the months that they were stranded out there. One of these things that happens to these girls is cannibalism. And we're going to get deeper into that because I have quite a few things to say about that, quite a few views on how they played this situation. And so we go back and forth between what happened in 1996 and the present day. And the present day especially you're seeing again the effects of the years of PTSD, of trauma, of going back to normalcy, of trying to keep secrets because of shame. Or again, there might be more information they haven't revealed yet that's going to come out in season three or season four. And so it's a very intense, intense place to be. Now with that being said, the cast is unbelievable. And I'm just going to show you guys quickly before we get into the story again who the cast is. You have actresses that are playing present day characters and then actresses playing the teenage, the 1996 characters. So we have Melanie Lewinsky. I think she's amazing. And I've always been a fan of her. She's very underrated actress. She's brilliant. She plays a character of Shauna as does Sophie Nilesia. Hope I'm saying that right. She plays teen Shauna. Now Shauna is best friends as a teenager with a girl named Jackie, played by Ella Purnell. And I'm just going to go ahead and give you a spoiler. This is the first person they eat. That's why there's no adult Jackie because she doesn't make it. And we'll get into how that comes about. But Jackie has a boyfriend named Jeff. Jeff is played by Warren Cole. This guy, Jeff Sedecki, Warren Cole as the adult. There's also a teenage Jeff. I don't see his picture up here, but that's the adult Jeff. So Jackie is in a relationship with Jeff. We see this in the pilot episode. So Shauna is Jackie's best friend. Jackie is kind of like the pre-Madonna popular girl in high school. Shauna is kind of the sidekick, right? That's Shauna again is played by Melanie Lewinsky as an adult. Now, Jackie is having relations with Jeff, but not intercourse. Shauna goes behind Jackie's back and has intercourse with Jeff. So Jeff basically got two girlfriends when the plane crashes. Only problem is Jackie is not aware that he's boink in Shauna. Well, the problem again, it gets exposed. The affair gets exposed because Shauna is pregnant. When the plane crashes, although she doesn't know she's pregnant until she misses her period. So that's a huge part of this story is this teenage girl being pregnant out in the wilderness with her best friend, boyfriend. All right. So that's Shauna and Jackie. Next, we have Misty. Misty is, I freaking love Misty. Misty and Natalie, in my opinion, these two are Natalie's characters a little bit more a little darker. She's got some real funny lines. Misty is kind of the comic relief as the adult. She's such a freaking sociopath. But I don't know if she's a sociopath because that's what the trauma did to her if that's just how she was. So Misty is played as the adult is played by Christina Ricci. We all know Christina Ricci. I grew up with Christina Ricci. And the teen Misty is Samantha Henratty. I hope I'm saying her last name right. She's brilliant. This girl is freaking genius the way that she plays Misty. Misty is kind of this desperate kid. Like she wants to be the cool girl. You kind of see flashbacks before the plane crash where she gets made fun of. And this kind of is what prolongs their stay in the wilderness because Misty is also the kid that's obviously done all of her homework. Like she's taken the classes on how to revitalize people. She's studied things. And so she's not Misty herself is not on the soccer team. She's like the water girl. So that's kind of she's kind of not really a part of the team but is and when the plane crashes. Misty is the one that kind of like saves the day because she knows how to do shit. And people are freaking out. Like coach Ben here who's played by Steven Kruger. He survives but coach Ben's got to get his leg chopped off. And so Misty is the one that can do it. And so she's kind of saving the day. And after the first night she over here is a couple of the girls talking about how they're so glad Misty's here. Like thank God for Misty man. Like she's saving the day. And so Misty has never had this type of attention before. So Misty goes and destroys. I don't know what it's called but that thing in the airplane that like alerts traffic controller of where the airplane is so they can find where it is to rescue them. She goes and destroys that because she wants to camp out in the woods a little bit longer because she's loving all the attention she's getting from all of her teammates who before maybe didn't think that highly of her. She also has a mad crush on coach Ben who we come to find out is actually gay. And throughout the story a couple of times she's tried drugging him with mushrooms. It's a whole thing. All right. So that's Misty. Now Natalie is played by the amazing Julia Lewis as an adult and by Sophie Thatcher as a teenager. She's incredible too. She made her voice match Julia Lewis's voice. It's unbelievable. Now the character of Natalie is kind of like the girl that comes from the wrong end of the railroad tracks. She's kind of had a rough life. She's all as a teenager we see her drinking a lot. You know she's but she's also probably out of all the girls the most grounded and the most realistic. And as the adult it's interesting we meet Natalie as an adult coming out of rehab again. And I thought that was interesting because it seems like Natalie out of all the girls is the one who's really accepted psychologically accepted what happened to them. And accepting it's accepted that it happened. And that's why she has turned as an adult. She already had a propensity obviously for alcohol and drugs. But that's why as an adult she is kind of struggling is because I think I think Shawna Misty will get into Lottie. I think they've all kind of had their own way of kind of working through what happened. And a lot of it is to kind of maybe try to ignore it. But for Natalie that's just my perception. I really like the character of Natalie and I feel like she's the one that is really is really viscerally feeling what happened out there in that what. We also have Van who is played by Liv Hewson and the adult Van is played by Lauren Ambrose. We also have Taisha the teenager is played by Jasmine Savoy Brown. She's got a lot going on like she starts sleepwalking and this whole other person comes out her adult Taisha is played by Tawny Cypress. Now Van and Taisha are lesbians and they're in a relationship in as teenagers. They kind of come out to their cast mates. They come out to their teammates in the forest that they're a couple. I don't think anybody's really surprised. But anyway they end up splitting up as adults. We meet Tai as an adult. She's running for a governmental office. She's very wealthy. She's married to another woman. She has a son. She ends up kind of slipping back into her psychosis and to like sleepwalking. She ends up killing the dog which is very sad and putting his head on an altar. Anyway yeah. We also have Lottie. This is Teen Lottie Courtney Eaton and that is played by let's see where is Simone Kessel is the adult Lottie. Now Lottie is a very fascinating character because Lottie comes from a very wealthy family. And it is Lottie's father who paid for the plane, the private plane to go to Seattle, the plane that crashed. Lottie herself was diagnosed as like a schizophrenic something. She was on some sort of medication because we see her as a little child of flashback having visions knowing things were going to happen before they happened. So her family puts her on medication. Of course once the plane crashes she doesn't have that medication anymore. So we see Lottie going back into her, I don't know if you want to call it a disability or an ability. That's yet to be decided because there are some things that she's able to do that the others aren't. Now as an adult since Jackie's gone as an adult, Shana and Jeff are married. They do end up getting married and they have a daughter named Callie. I told you that Shana was pregnant. Callie is not the child that she was pregnant with. We will get to that. Now we also have Travis and we have Travis's little brother Javi right here. It's funny I was watching just a side note. I was watching some English people talk about the show and they kept calling him Javi. It's adorable. We have a lot of Spanish speakers in the United States but that's Javi not Javi. Travis is on the flight with Javi, his little brother because Travis's father is their coach. He's going with them with their father. He's not a part of the team. He's just hanging out with his dad and of course we've got all these teenage girls. Well Javi and Travis do survive the plane crash. Their father does not. We've got basically a gaggle of girls. There's a bunch of other characters like Akilah, Mari, Laura Lee is there. She dies pretty soon. She tries to...we'll get into it. You've got this gaggle of girls and one adult which is Coach Ben. Then we've got these two teenage boys. Now talk about Lord of the Flies happening. Good Lord teenage girls are way worse than boys any day. So we're going back and forth. There's this reporter that's looking for information on what happened to those girls out there in the wilderness in modern times. Turns out Taisha hired that reporter to make sure none of her friends were going to squeal on her because she's now running for political office. However, as we see with Taisha, she starts going into like crazy mode where this other side of her is coming out. She's killing the dog. She's sleepwalking. She's doing all this shit that's crazy. So maybe it's not her friends she should be worried about. Maybe it's her. So that's kind of going on in season one while we're also watching from the past the plane crash unfold. Misty has now destroyed the machine that tells air traffic control where they're located. But nobody else knows that but Misty. And now they've got to figure out how the fuck they're going to survive out in the wilderness. Let me tell you something friends. I have traveled this world. I have spent many years in India. I have spent many times out in the bushes of Africa. I've been in the Australian outback. I don't think there's any way I'm being perfectly honest with you that I would survive in the Ontario wilderness. And the whole time in my head I'm thinking, wow, they must really stink. Like, can you imagine being stuck in the woods for all that time? Don't have any more deodorant. You're out of toothpaste like no shampoo. You must really fucking stink. Now, I guess at that point you're not really going to be thinking about your armpits. You're going to be thinking about when are we going to be rescued? Am I ever going to see my family again? There's one scene where they have like their boom box that's battery operating. They're listening to some music and then it just dies. And so now all of a sudden any type of connection to the outside world is gone. Just think about that for one minute. It's gone. No cell phone. Nothing. You don't even have tampons. Like you are literally with nothing. In the beginning it was hysterical because they were dividing up the snacks. They had the airplane. They had the snack wells like devil cookies. Do you guys remember those? My grandmothers used to eat those all the time I left when I saw. So like cutting them in half, like trying to make these things last. But it comes to a point where they realize they think they're going to be rescued soon, but they're not. So they realize, yo, like we've got to move. We've got to do something. They find a lake. They go to the lake. They swim in the lake. Must have felt great, greasy hair. When the plane was going down, you know, they must have been like sweating like crazy from the adrenaline of, oh my God, we're going to die. On top of that, they literally have seen half of their team with like trees staked through them and blood everywhere from the crash show. So mentally they're on high alert. They find this lake and then lo and behold, they find this cabin out in the woods. I don't know, you guys, the cabin in the woods start of a great horror story, but they're looking for shelter. So there it is. This is like a hunting cabin that obviously whoever owned it had to helicopter or fly a private plane in. There's no roads into it. There's no like driveway. There's no electricity. It's literally a remote hunting cabin and they do find a private airplane that obviously had been flown in by the person who owned the cabin and had some overgrowth on it. And for a while they do find the body of the owner and the upstairs of this cabin had been rotting for a while and they find this interesting little symbol. Now this symbol is kind of comes and goes throughout the whole story. This symbol is obviously very potent, very important because both Natalie and Christy and Ty as adults in present time get a postcard with this symbol on it. Nothing else. They're all spooked. They're like, what the fuck? Who knows about what we did in the forest? Which meanwhile, we're not 100% sure about what they're actually talking about. What happened in that? We're just as lost as the rest of everybody else. It's like, what the hell happened in that forest? Some secret they're desperately keeping. The only person in this group of adult women that did not get a postcard is Shauna. She did not get a postcard. Well in the meantime, Shauna meets this man named Adam. She thinks her husband Jeff, the one she was boinking as a teenager that she was pregnant with this kid in the forest. Yeah, her husband, that guy, she thinks he's having an affair. So she meets this guy named Adam who is younger than she is and she starts having an affair. Well then she meets back up with her old teammates around the forest with her and they're all saying, holy crap, we've got these postcards and now they're getting, they have a blackmailer that's asking them for money or else he's going to expose the story of what they got up to out in the wilderness. Now remember, everybody except Shauna got this postcard. Now Shauna also has this little habit of keeping journals. She writes everything down and you see her journals kept in her safe at home with Jeff. Well Shauna gets it in her head that Adam, this guy she's having an affair with is actually the blackmailer and she ends up killing him. She gets the idea that he's the blackmailer because one night he comes over when her husband Jeff and her daughter Kelly are gone. He bangs her in her marital bed and then has to hide in the closet when Jeff comes home and then after Jeff leaves the bedroom he skedaddles on out of there and she finds glitter in the closet which meanwhile when they were chasing the blackmailer down through a store he fell into a display and got glitter all over him so she's like oh my god, Adam's the blackmailer and then she like confronts him and like kills him and then she calls her girls that our teammates Misty, Natalie and Ty, meanwhile remember Ty is running for political position to basically cut the body up and they know how to cut these bodies up because why they had to survive in the wilderness. Okay, come to find out Adam was not the blackmailer. The blackmailer was Jeff her husband because Jeff had all the access to the journals and his furniture store needed money and he knew that Ty had money so he thought I'm just going to play this game a little bit. You end up actually actually like Jeff. We have to remember Jeff went through trauma too even though he was not out in the forest with them. Both his girlfriends were out there and come to find out one of his girlfriends had a baby out there. That was his. So he's got some trauma as well. Let's not forget that. So they've disposed of this body in present time and now we're flipping. So that was the symbol, right? That was that we they see in the forest. We say everywhere they now we still don't know. We still don't know what that symbol means guys. I don't know. Maybe tonight less episode of season two maybe we'll find out what that symbol means but I have a feeling it's not going to come out. They're going to hold on to that for a little bit later. So we're going back to the plane crash where they're now in this spooky little cabin and they find some guns and Travis and Natalie are the best shot. So Travis and Natalie are responsible for going out every day and hunting. They make some mistakes along the way with the meat and the animals. But Natalie and Travis do develop a kindred relationship. There are some little sex scenes. We see Jackie ends up boinking Travis at this like dooms day prom they create. Still I'm just like gross. I think we would be so smelly. I don't know if I would be able to have sex in that situation because everybody would be smelling bad. I don't know. Maybe you just get immune to it. Who knows. Maybe you're just bored. I don't know. Anyway but Natalie and Travis do end up having a very special bond. You see that right away. Travis has lost his father. He saw his father dead craziness. In the mean in the present day though Travis ends up committing suicide. Kind of we'll get to that. And Natalie finds out and she's distraught. She doesn't know why Misty is there and Misty is kind of tagging along again. This is why the show is so good. This is why the show is so good. Meanwhile in 1996 in the forest Lottie who has been going off of her medication starts to have these visions again. And she starts kind of communing with nature. And she seems to have a way with nature and a way with getting the food and figuring out what they are doing. She starts like slicing open her arm and giving the nature like blood. And then the wilderness gives back. And we have this vision of what the audience has now deemed the antler queen. Who the fuck is the antler queen? We still don't know. I actually think that my theory is they're all the antler queen. They've all had to be the antler queen at some point because now we're starting to see almost everything. And I don't know. This is why this is so freaking fascinating. And I've never been stranded out in the woods in the middle of nowhere having to survive. So I don't have a memory bank to pull information from to know how I would respond in this situation. Like I said, I don't think I would survive it. But if I were to survive it, what kind of a life stuff? What would you start to believe? Right? So we see a bunch of girls starting to almost turn to the wilderness. You got to believe in something, right? Especially when there's hope lost, like you have to believe in something. And they start to almost treat Lottie as if she's kind of like the high priestess of them, of the wilderness. Because she does have this knowing, like this way of knowing things that are going to happen of being able to get the forest to give them stuff. Meanwhile, she keeps talking about how she's going to have a boy. She's boy is going to save them, blah, blah, blah. We get to this point where Shauna and Jackie, the two besties that virtually have the same boyfriend, although Jackie didn't know that until they were stranded in the woods and Shauna was pregnant with his baby, have this knock down drag out fight. And so Jackie kind of gets banished to the outside to sleep outside. Now this is when we're starting to get cold winter is coming. Down here in the south snow ain't nothing but an urban legend. So I do not know how I would handle snow in the wilderness. I don't even know how to handle snow in the city. So that's me. I would be done. But Jackie ends up freezing to death outside. But before Jackie died, remember that character Laura Lee? I said that died pretty soon while she decided she was going to try to fly the plane that was sitting there out of the forest to get them help. The plane explodes over the lake so that's her dead. Just FYI. So they've seen quite some tragedy. It seems like the wilderness, the powers of the wilderness have done everything it can to keep them stuck in this wilderness. Or maybe it was just the fact that Misty broke up the transmitter or whatever it's called that could have easily had them rescued very quickly. So probably just all Misty's fault. But anyway. Jackie sleeps outside and ends up freezing to death. So now Shauna is really going through it mentally. She's pregnant. She's a child, she's a teenager. They're all living day to day wondering when their next meal is going to be. They're dirty. They don't know when they're going home or if they're going home. She's had this knock down drag out fight with her bestie. And now her bestie's dead. So she's carrying a lot of guilt. And so she brings Jackie's body into like this shed. That's beside the cabin. And you see the caboodle that survived the plane crime of caboodles. And she's like doing Jackie's makeup, the corpse. Like she's having these conversations with this corpse. So Shauna is like really losing it. Which fair play to her. We all probably would have started. And that's what's so fascinating about this character development. Is that we're watching these girls psychologically. I don't want to say losing it. I think they're finding this different rhythm of survival. Like they're out in the wilderness and so they're coming into this kind of this world of no limitations. There are no laws out there. Only law is to survive. And so they're kind of pushing whether they mean to or not. They're putting the boundaries of what's acceptable normal society. Because they have to. In order to survive they have to. And so there's a compassion for this strange dichotomy that's happening with the girls. They're praying to the wilderness. They've got freaking Lottie over here. It's like a pre cult leader. Which she kind of turns into later on. Which we'll get to. And now Shauna is in a shed talking to her dead best friend. Her ear falls off. Because bodies decompose is what they do. And Taisa. Who meanwhile is starting to have issues with sleep walking. And has to basically be trained to van. So that she doesn't sleep walk. She's kind of the voice of reason. When Shauna and she's like listen. She's like no. She goes into the shed. She sees this corpse with makeup on. We've got to do something about this. You're losing your shit. You're talking to a dead body. I understand you're grieving. I understand you're freaking pregnant. And you haven't had what you need to have a safe healthy pregnancy. We've got to cremate Jackie. Why are we cremating Jackie? Why aren't we bearing Jackie? Like we buried all the other bodies. Because friends it's the dead of winter. I asked the same question. Where I'm from snow is an urban legend. So I had no idea. And then think about it that the ground would be too frozen to dig and put a body inside of it. So we've got to try to cremate a body. And I don't know if you know this about cremation. But it takes a mighty powerful fire to cremate a body. So what happens is they accidentally cook Jackie. I laugh because it makes me uncomfortable. They cook or y'all. Yeah. So they go back in the cabin. Overnight they're going to magically think they're going to cremate this body. It ends up just cooking the body. So they wake up in the early morning hours and they smell. They wake up by the smell of something's been cooked. And I will say although this scene made me physically stick to my stomach to watch the way that they introduced the cannibalism in the story was pretty brilliant. Because the girls the characters did not ever talk about cannibalism. That was never something on their mind. I don't think it was even a possibility until it became a possibility. And so you see them walk out to the body and sit around the body cooked. It's Jackie cooked. And they the way they shot this they shot it as if the girls were disassociating. Which 100% probably would have happened. In order to do that to each your friend if you are a sold person like meaning you have a soul and you have to now eat your friend to survive. You probably were going to have to disassociate which means that you check out during the action it's big with trauma. Happens a lot with trauma. So you watch them eat Jackie. And you see them going back and forth between sitting dirty around the body to them being clean and like Greek costumes eating fruits and wine. So that's the disassociation, right? And then after they eaten all of Jackie I will say I was watching some of the behind the scenes they said that they had puked buckets for the girls because some of them were puking shooting that be just the idea even though it was jackfruit they showed how they made the body it was jackfruit it was obviously it wasn't a real body. And they were just seeing it and it looked just like the girl who played Jackie and they did a great job but apparently some of the actors were having to like vomit because of the reality of what their characters were having to do. Meanwhile you got Shawna who was pregnant this is probably the only real food he's had since landing or crashing rather into the forest and so the only person who does not participate in the eating of Jackie is Coach Ben. You see him kind of have a breakdown as he's the only one that seems to realize what they're doing. He goes back into the cabin but Coach Ben himself is also having some breakdowns. Oh in the meantime something I forgot to mention, Javi's gone missing Travis's little brother went missing that's where he is, Natalie thinks he's dead they can't find him it was after they all did shrooms at the doomsday prom or whatever he's missing so where's Javi who knows Javi's not at this let's eat Jackie event but my friends Javi becomes or at this moment at the end of last week's episode he's going to be the second victim. Okay so they did it brilliantly the whole concept of cannibalism I thought was just done brilliantly with again it just accidentally happened and they are so hungry these girls are so fucking hungry they're starving out there they've been out there for months that it just happened and they didn't kill Jackie on purpose Jackie froze to death by accident and they ate her anyway so there's a couple episodes where I think they're kind of processing what they did you see Taisha the one that is kind of sleep walking and doing some crazy shit she runs out and sees the bones of Jackie and she's like oh my god what happened to Jackie what happened to Jackie and Vance like we ate her and she's like what no and she's like girl you ate her face so obviously Taisha is having a lot of issues mentally which we see that playing out with her as an adult as well okay well we also find out that Lottie the girl who has the visions the queen of the wilderness is still alive in present day she obviously survived with the group because they try to investigate Travis's death his suicide and they find out that his money was transferred to a woman named Charlotte or Lottie in a finding Lottie her own cult out in the middle of the forest they were under the impression that Lottie had been in a mental institution in Europe but no no Blas she is back and she is running her own literal cult so all the girls end up making their way to this facility there's a lot of other details I know I'm skimming over you guys who are Yellow Jackets fan feel free to talk about it in the comment section below there Natalie is trying to process the death of Travis Lottie it turns out was there when Travis was very paranormal so she is kind of telling Natalie that he kept saying Natalie was right, Natalie was right what was Natalie right about Natalie thinks they brought the darkness back with them so we're building up with anticipation of there's something really fucking horrific that these girls did and in my mind at this point if they just ate Jackie and it was a survival I don't think many people would have judged them I don't think it's kind of like the whole alive thing where they had to eat the butt cheeks of the dead people you know but there's obviously more to the story and we've seen flashes of them dressed up in like cultish costumes meanwhile Javi comes back and he's not speaking nobody knows where he was he's gone, he's gone but nobody will talk we don't know how he survived in the winter how he was fed but he keeps drawing me this tree this particular tree keep that in mind then Shawna goes into labor because that's fun and Coach Ben who is the only adult there basically was like yeah I can't help you with this and so it's up to Misty it's always Misty who has to birth the baby now Shawna passes out she had some weird dream sequence where she sees them eating the baby and turns out when she wakes up the baby didn't survive the baby died right away now in every good story there's never dead information so all the information that were given in a story is pertinent to the story and for a while my boyfriend was like why the fuck did they even have her pregnant the baby was just going to die they don't eat the baby they bury it you know they don't go that far but Shawna has got these issues with Lottie because Lottie kept saying oh she's going to have a boy it's going to be the savior of us yes praise Jebus like this is the baby that's in he dies so Lottie and Shawna have issues Shawna is obviously not as mystical and psychic as Lottie is so she thinks all of her wilderness shit just woo woo anyway and so Lottie basically is like an order for you to heal Shawna you're just going to have to beat me up and so Shawna beats the shit out of Lottie like it was unbelievable to watch I mean I don't know who the actress was really hitting like what but the pounding she gave and so Lottie is basically hanging on by a thread at this point she's bleeding her body is just so broken she's trying to keep Lottie alive they're freaking out Lottie can't die because she's like the wilderness queen and she knows what to do and they know that if they don't get Lottie some food that she will die because her body is so beaten up that without food her body is not going to have the strength to heal so when Harvey came back from wherever he was he brought with them a queen card a queen card from a playing deck and this playing deck they found in the cabin but it was missing the queen card and people have been speculating about why the queen card is so important and many fans speculated that when they started really eating people whoever drew the queen card was the one that had to be eaten and they were right because we saw that last episode before they determined that someone's going to have to be eaten Coach Ben all of a sudden realizes the tree that Harvey drew he thinks he knows where that is so Coach Ben with his little homemade crutches because remember he got his leg chopped off by Misty in the beginning finds the tree and realizes that there's like a tunnel under the tree now it's nothing it's not a fancy tunnel it's not like a lost situation it's like a dirt tunnel but he goes in there and he sees where there was a fire pit and he's like chicken bones and so he's discovering this while they're back at the cabin drawing to see who's going to be killed and eat and it turns out it's Natalie but we know it's not going to be Natalie because Natalie survives into adulthood so they take a necklace and they put it on Natalie as like the sacrifice and Shawna comes and puts the knife to her throat and then Jackie turns around and she's like if you're going to do this you're going to have to look me in the eyes and do it and then Travis like reeks out and he goes and attacks Shawna and tells Natalie to run so Natalie like bolts and runs meanwhile some of the girls hold Travis back while the rest of them become like a bar bear I can grab every tool they can to start chasing Natalie they're on for the hunt now and so Natalie stops behind a tree while Javi starts to run out too and Javi has this anything since he got back from wherever he was and he was like Natalie I know where we can go to hide I know where we can go to hide and so he's like you gotta trust me come with me so Natalie and Javi are running over the frozen lake and you see the gangle of girls with tears in their weapons coming after them and all of a sudden Javi falls into the lake Natalie's first reaction is to try to save him misty runs up behind Natalie and was like no don't do it let him die it chose meaning the wilderness chose who it wanted to sacrifice and it wasn't Natalie it was Javi and so Natalie has to watch Javi as he drowns ok you know Travis's brother is back at the cabin being held down by the girls and the last you see them for the trailer for this week carrying Javi on a stick back to eat him I don't know how Travis I'm sure tonight's episode is going to leave us on quite a cliffhanger and we know that there is an antler queen we know that there's a lot of stuff that we have yet to see it's building up to that to getting into that place of delusion and meanwhile back at the ranch at the real cult with the adults and Lottie decides that all of their lives are falling apart Shawna's wanted for murder for Adam Taisha's life is falling apart as a politician we've learned now that van adult van has terminal cancer Natalie is just losing her shit she's gone through devolution instead of evolution and Missy's just fucking blankers and crazy she's got a little boyfriend though which is kind of cute played by Elijah Wood which he I think is going to be coming back in season 3 with a bigger role we'll see but Lottie decides that the forest needs they need to do another sacrifice of one of them and so she creates all these drinks with the chemical it's going to take somebody out she's like I don't know which you know I'll pick last we'll let the universe decide which one of us is the sacrifice and once we make the sacrifice all of our lives will go back to normal and that's how we law ended last week's episode so that's basically the breakdown of yellow jackets like I said we see the beautiful character development I don't know I can't honestly say how do you think you would react unless for 19 months how would you react if you had to resort to cannibalism to survive I want to hear your thoughts on that because again with the whole Jackie situation they cover that brilliantly and I don't know if they would have even gone back to thinking about cannibalism as if it weren't for the fact that Lottie needed subsidence in order to survive it upon Lottie and if there's a darkness that's just inside human beings that causes this kind of thing to happen where it becomes like a hunting ritual we know about those hunting games don't we if that's something that literally is really deep down a lot of people that is pulled out when they're survival at stake and the rules of the forest are very different than the rules of society so let me know your thoughts I would love to hear are you watching Yellow Jackets are you going to be watching tonight the final episode of season 2 y'all they're not I saw they're not going to release the next season until like March of 2024 like what the fuck we got to wait that long but how do you think you would fare let me know your thoughts hello everybody this is editing Bryce here the last bit of this video cut off so I'm doing the last part as a voiceover yeah as I was saying the theme song for this show is incredible and the no return no return no return comes directly from the theme songs the theme song of Yellow Jackets as you see in the title of this video do you believe once you cross over into that darkness that there is no return that's a really really interesting debate I personally do believe there is a return but is it the weight of the human consciousness and the karmic soul that creates this obstacle of returning back to the normalcy of being a human after you've gone through something like that I also want to know again your thoughts down in the comment section below what kind of conspiracies do you think are behind the show we know that Hollywood is super shady we know that not all of Hollywood is shady there are literally works of art out there that are super important but is this one of those works of art I think the actresses in this are brilliant the storytelling is brilliant but what are your thoughts on it or is this just literally a story of the way human psychology works I don't know I guess only time will tell but I would love to hear your theories down below of course this is just a very brief cliff notes version of season 1 and season 2 there are a lot of details a lot of subplot storylines that I did leave out of this so I highly suggest going back and rewatching season 1 and season 2 if you can so that you have a more thorough understanding of this story and the last episode of season 2 drops tonight so maybe I'll do a follow up video tomorrow so we can really look at the finale of season 2 and see what else we learn and how this will further our discussion into this show and the message of this particular show so yeah let me know down in the comment section below what you think the pilot episode 2 yellow jackets the first episode season 1 episode 1 is available on YouTube for free so I have put that down in the show notes so make sure you look down in the description box if you want to watch the first episode the first pilot episode to see if this is something that you want to invest in and yeah let me know guys and I hope you're having a wonderful day buckle up because tonight is season 2 finale of yellow jackets you guys know that I love a good workout I love to sweat every single day I work out 6 days a week at least 2 hours on my yoga mat doing ashtanga yoga or doing a bar class when one works out their muscles break down I tell my students here in Atlanta I've been sore for about 17 years and as we start to age we start to have a harder time repairing those broken down muscles now a few months ago my friend Catherine Edwards introduced me to the product asia I had been offered sponsorships before but I had always turned them down because the integrity of the company didn't align with my own integrity but the more I studied about asia the more I studied about the owners the person who came up with the formula for asia the more I liked this company and then I started to try the product so what is asia again when you work out when you rip your muscles apart there has to be a rebuilding system when that rebuild happens that is when your body technically gets stronger we have in our body something called redox redox is this thing that helps it's a signaling system between your cells now when we are young when we're kids before we hit puberty we have a lot of redox that's why children are young and healthy and they can fall out of trees and skin their knees and be fine and recover quickly but as we get older that redox becomes less and less and less so it doesn't really matter how healthy the cells are and the cells cannot properly communicate with each other this means that as we get older we start to feel more body aches we start to get wrinkles we start to get saggy skin we start to get gray hair for men this means that the hair starts to bend and fall out again it's like having a cell phone what's the good in having an iphone like my iphone if there is no cell system to work it that is the cellular system now again I'm a pretty healthy person I work really hard on my health so I wasn't expecting a huge difference with the redox however the benefits that I've experienced over these last two months of being on a sea have been unbelievable I feel younger I'm sleeping better I feel like my quality of life is better even my hair I've always had really thick hair but now my hair is like doubly thick and it's growing like crazy I literally just got my hair cut like two weeks ago and I'm about to have to make another appointment to get it cut again because it is unbelievable how fast my hair is growing since taking this redox system my nails are growing faster even my boyfriend my boyfriend who is in his early fifties is starting to thin out at the top of the hair as what happens to men and even he is starting to notice his hair grow back which is common if you look at the stories from a sea so many men have grown their hair back simply by adding redox back into their body their countless stories of people who have lowered their blood pressure gotten off medications cut their medications in half because their body is being supplied with the cellular system it needs to do what the body is supposed to do and that is heal itself now basically what you do is when you get your redox then it is a liquid this comes with a little shock glass a two ounce shock glass most people will take between four and eight ounces of a sea a day I take eight ounces a day because I'm obsessed with this product so you pour two ounces into the shock glass you swish it around your mouth for 30 to 60 seconds and then you swallow that's it you can't overdose with this product if you take too much your body will just pee it out now when you take the liquid you're going the intelligence of your body to take the redox where the body needs the redox to go I've told you guys before I struggle heavily with arthritis and in the past I have taken medications for my arthritis but I do know that arthritis is caused by over thought it's caused by anxiety however medication coming from my doctor only dealt with the issue of the arthritis not the cause well when I started taking me a sea about three days into taking this my anxiety had dissipated and I thought how interesting is that how interesting is that my body knew that the source of the issue with my joints was coming from my own mind so where did it send the redox to my mind there's also a topical gel that I really like so when you take the liquid again you're allowing your body its own intelligence to take the redox where it is needed to help heal the body but with the topical gel you are able to put the gel where you want it put I have been putting this on my legs for a while now it has helped so much with the tightening of the skin with cellulite with varicose veins it's also helped with the soreness of my legs my legs get real sore from working out I've been actually even putting this on my boobs you guys now again I'm 40 I've never had children so my boobs don't drop that much but I've been kind of putting it on my boobs too I tell you my boyfriend really likes that so this is a really awesome product but despite the vanity if you have a sore leg or a sore knee or a sore neck you can put this on and direct the redox into the area that is in pain or inflamed and the redox will help with that I even use this when I'm on my period when I get my cramps I take some of the redox and I put it topically over the area where my uterus is and it helps my boyfriend again has been putting the gel in his hair which is helping his hair grow back right now currently if anybody knows my boyfriend he has covered in tattoos he has been getting tattoos since he was in his 20 and he right now currently is getting one of his tattoos touched up and so when he comes home tonight we're going to experiment with the gel to see if the gel heals the wound of the tattoo even faster now we want everybody I want everybody to have the best quality of life that you can have what's the point in being a human being if you're too sick are too off balance to be able to actually enjoy your life to be actually to be able to actually work out and have fun or to go bike riding with your children or get down and play dolls with your grandchildren this ASEA is going to help you and help your body achieve the life that you weren't meant to live and happiness and peace and help and harmony if you would like more information on ASEA
