Yellowjackets - 310 Full Circle


Listen Later

Yellowjackets sticks the landing (pit and all) in a season - please, let it be the season - finale that’s equal parts haunting, emotional, and gory-as-hell. In “Full Circle,” the show finally reveals Pit Girl’s identity, how the Yellowjackets get rescued, ties up the DAT tape plot (#MelissaTruth), and launches us into an adult timeline deathmatch we’re not emotionally prepared for. One girl calls for rescue. One eats her ex's heart. One dies in a white slip. And the rest? We're about to learn what actually happens when people stop being polite and start getting real.


This week’s pod breaks down the betrayals, blood rituals, and full-circle callbacks that made the Season 3 finale an epic that featured everything you could want - except a reappearance by Allie Stevens.


1997 Timeline: Pit Girl Confirmed, Circle Closed


Akilah stages a fake wilderness “omen” by poisoning the pen animals, and this then convinces the girls a new sacrifice is needed. Pray for Akilah.


Van and Taissa rig the next card draw to target Hannah, but Shauna pulls rank and demands a fair deal. The Queen card goes to Mari, who runs into the woods wearing Jackie’s heart necklace and the same white slip from the pilot.


After an epic hunt, she hits Travis’s old spike trap and is killed - revealing she was Pit Girl all along. Travis, for the record, also confirms the Jackie/Shauna subtext we’ve all been side-eyeing since Season 1. Canon: unlocked.


WE REPEAT: JACKIESHAUNA IS REAL!


Meanwhile, Melissa, Gen, and Akilah quietly worked with Natalie to cover her escape - with an assist from Hannah - using the staged ritual to give her cover.


Shauna gets Mari's hair, and Natalie climbs a ridge with a repaired radio, calls out an SOS - and gets a response.


Present-Day Timeline: Eat Van's Heart Out


We learn that Lottie, hiding out post-escape, steals Callie’s tape and spirals into full wilderness messiah mode in a candlelit basement. She tells Callie she’s the wilderness’ true child and that Shauna's feelings for her are complicated.


Callie responds like any grounded teen would—by shoving Lottie down the stairs. Lottie dies. Shauna’s DNA stays off the evidence (thanks, mother-daughter overlap), and Callie keeps the truth to herself, plus Misty and Jeff.


Elsewhere, Taissa gives Van a forest burial and consumes a piece of her body in a twisted funeral rite. It’s part grief, part vow: Tai is now fully embracing her darkness and consuming Van's spirit.


Shauna reads Melissa’s final letter - yes, the one Callie lost - and finally learns the truth: There was no DAT blackmailer, no curse. Just Melissa trying to get closure with Shauna. D'oh!


Shauna's resolution? Embrace her inner queen reclaim her power.


Later, Tai and Misty meet privately. They agree Shauna is too dangerous to be left unchecked. Walter listens to Slayer.


At season's end:


Pit Girl mystery? Solved.

Wilderness? Still sending out blood invoices.

Shauna? One bite away from her final form.

Natalie? The hero we needed, but also the most emotionally exhausted girl in the woods.

Travis? #JackieShauna confirmed. Let the Tumblr gifs commence.

Season 4 soon, please?
