Lightning Crashes was released in 1994, so it was a cultural touchstone for the Yellowjackets before the crash.
In the present, its refreshing to finally see the adult survivors together.
Shauna selects Self-Care, which turns out to be watching a baby goat named Bruce.
As she struggles with her assignment, she hunts down Lottie and starts spilling tea.
When Lottie tells Shauna that she doesnt have to kill the goat, Melanie Lynskeys Oh, Bruce!
delivery is both hilarious and heartbreaking.
Tai chooses Renewal, which is painting the side of a building with a teeny paintbrush.
Later, Tai takes her wedding ring off and finds Van curled up with a bottle of tequila.
They make out for a bit.
Has Tai called to check on her or Sammy or even Steve once?!
I hope someone is taking care of Steve, is all Im saying.
Van also admits to Tai that she has an aggressive form of cancer.
This explains the pill bottles and the overdue bills.
The wilderness has spared her countless times, and shes wondering why that is.
Misty also struggles with her assignment.
Last to pick, shes stuck with Guidance.
This turns out to be a dip in the compounds sensory deprivation tank.
After some resistance, Misty gets redirected by the unflagging Lisa and succumbs to the tank.
At the conclusion of her experience, Misty hops out and calls her would-be paramour, Walter.
She leaves a giddy message: one part adorable, one part hysterical (Your grandma sounds cool!
), and ten million parts incriminating.
What will Moriarty do with this new information from his Sherlock?
Whos another man who still has a card left to play?
We see him experience another starvation hallucination in which Paul seems to be talking to a secret entity.
As Paul leaves, he tells Ben that he doesnt belong here anymore and that he loves him.
Then he says, We all love you.
As he leaves the cabin, a pair of antlers frame the crown of his head.
Ben heads to the poop cliff.
Tears silently spill over his cheeks as he contemplates the abyss.
However, Mistys caterwauling soon turns Ben back from the precipice, and he lives to see another day.
Whether Ben is seeing entities on the other side or just hallucinating is fully up for debate.
Whats not up for debate is whether or not Lotties psychiatrist is real shes not.
When we see her this time, she has a funky fresh side-swept hairdo and tude for days.
As the scene toggles between Lottie and her doctor, Lottie sees the truth.
In a frightening jump cut, Lotties vision changes.
She says, Does a hunt that has no violence feed anyone?
It turns out that the call was coming from inside the house all along.
In the wake of this reveal, Lottie goes to find the rest of the Yellowjackets.
As they finally delve into things, Van shifts focus to the song playing in the background.
Oh, now, feel it coming back again.
Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind.
Forces pulling from the center of the Earth again.Bingo.
The joyous if oblivious reunion is intercut with Shaunas feral manifestation of her grief in the wilderness.
Shes full of rage.
As Lottie tells Antler Shrink: We hurt each other.
The cops have found the body.
My vote is for Bodies by Drowning Pool.
I get that snowmaking machines are expensive to run, but cmon now.
When the adult survivors all convene at Lotties, Nat says, Were all here.
Could this mean that there are no additional survivors in the present?
I had hope for you, Akilah!

If you missed it, its 607-478-1033.
