After Nat’s stunning loss of life in Season 2, Yellowjackets followers have been confronted with a good wilder loss of life on the finish of Season 3, episode 4. Charlotte “Lottie” Matthews (portrayed by Simone Kessell) was discovered on the backside of a stairwell, and whereas the police have dismissed her loss of life as an accident, her former teammates suspect foul play—probably from one in all their very own.

Homicide is up there when it comes to the worst issues the primary characters have performed, so it is actually potential that one of many Yellowjackets is accountable. On the identical time, quite a few different characters have given us purpose to suspect them, too. So, as of episode 5, here is our record of who we predict almost definitely murdered Lottie Matthews.
10
Taissa
Taissa (Tawny Cypress) has every part an individual would wish to tug off Lottie’s homicide. She has a motive, as a result of she thinks killing extra folks will hold Van alive, and he or she has the means, since she was unaccounted for on the park for 45 minutes. She additionally has assist from Darkish Tai, if she wants it, which might make the act itself simpler to tug off. Even worse, when she sees Sammy, he appears to assume she is Darkish Tai, which appears to indicate that her sleepwalking-version has been fronting this entire season, or else that the 2 are starting to merge.
All of this leads us to imagine that Tai positively did one thing unhealthy, or that she’s going to—however as for killing Lottie, particularly? Most likely not.
Did Tai Do That?
The latest episode of Yellowjackets was titled “Did Tai do That?”, which appears an odd selection, as throughout each the current and previous plotlines, Tai did not actually do a lot of something. Sure, she was chosen to shoot Coach Ben, however ultimately, he was saved from her shot. So, the episode appears to be asking, Did Tai kill Lottie?, and based mostly on how she barely reacts to the information, it is actually potential. However on the identical time, it appears virtually too doubtless, to the purpose that we predict it is all a crimson herring.
9
Shauna
Like Tai, Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) has the means and the motive to kill her ex-teammate. The final time she noticed Lottie, Shauna was livid at her for giving Callie Jackie’s necklace. Moreover, when Lottie was killed, Shauna was close by within the metropolis, on the lookout for a cat. A minimum of, that is what she claims she was doing, however this simply might have been a cover-up story. In spite of everything, Shauna has killed earlier than, and after practically being killed within the freezer, perhaps she’s beginning to assume she must strike the opposite Yellowjackets earlier than they strike first.
The Solely One Left
In Season 3’s trailer, Shauna says, “The one solution to be protected is to be the one one left.” Whereas this scene hasn’t occurred within the present but, it appears doubtless that will probably be her response to Lottie’s loss of life as she wonders whether or not somebody is coming for her, too. Extra sinisterly, it might be her try to clarify to Jeff why she killed Lottie and has to kill the others. Presently, we’re assuming the previous, but when it seems Lottie was Shauna’s newest sufferer, we would not be stunned.
8
Van
Van (Lauren Ambrose) has explicitly stated that she would not need to kill extra folks, however saying one thing and which means it are two various things. Van is among the largest believers within the Wilderness, in addition to one of many individuals who stands essentially the most to achieve from others’ deaths. Add to that her strangely-timed shaky palms, and there is purpose to assume there’s blood on them.
Circumstantial Proof
Honestly, Van’s shaky palms are the largest purpose proper now to suspect her, however shaky palms might be associated to 1,000,000 issues. Perhaps she’s struggling withdrawal from one in all her drugs, or perhaps her most cancers is worse once more. It is even potential that she was reacting to what Tai stated about getting pretzels collectively, both as a result of the gesture was candy, or as a result of she did not bear in mind the dialog (…or perhaps had it with Darkish Tai as an alternative). In any case, if she’d needed to kill somebody to extend her personal lifespan, she might have simply performed so with Tai once they adopted the person again to his house. Since they let him go unhurt, it appears unlikely she’d hunt down Lottie as an alternative.

In ‘Yellowjackets,’ trauma can deliver mates collectively, however it might additionally tear them aside.
7
One of many Cult Members
Lottie’s cult performed a central position in Season 2, however nothing about them has been heard since. The cult disbanded after Lottie was institutionalized, however that does not imply the members merely disappeared. It appears possible one in all them would have needed solutions after on a regular basis and vitality they’d dedicated to Lottie’s trigger. On condition that Lottie emptied her checking account earlier than dying, perhaps she was attempting to make issues proper with them, just for every part to go horribly improper.
The place’s Lisa?
On the finish of the season, Lisa by accident performed a job in Nat’s loss of life, and we do not assume that is one thing she’d simply stroll away from. It is potential Lottie was looking for her and apologize, and that apology took a horrible flip. This appears much more doubtless since Lisa has now grow to be (by accident) a part of one in all their hunts, and even when it seems Lisa did not kill Lottie, we suspect the Wilderness is not performed along with her but.
6
Walter
It is arduous to get a gauge on precisely who Walter (Elijah Wooden) is and what he desires. Sure, he appears to care about Misty, however even then, we’re not solely certain why or if his care is honest. Plus, he is already stated that he would not like Misty’s mates, and he is additionally proven a capability to take a life with out flinching. In brief, Walter is a little bit of a wild card, and in a present the place drawing playing cards is so essential, he actually makes our record of suspects.
A Lethal Sport
Walter appears to assume that Lottie’s homicide is all some sport, even telling Shauna that what Misty most wanted proper then was a problem. This does not essentially imply he killed Lottie, however it’s unusual how rapidly he discovered she died. Plus, he beforehand referred to himself because the Moriarty to Misty’s Sherlock, implying that he is likely to be a villain, one which the others have but to see coming.
Since Yellowjackets premiered, rumors of further survivors have been nonstop. Considered one of these further survivors, Van, appeared in Season 2, and photographs of latest solid member Hilary Swank have followers satisfied one other survivor (doubtless Melissa) will quickly seem. Others have their hearts set on Coach Ben one way or the other surviving, whereas some followers even suspect, or no less than hope, that Mari made it out alive. Whereas we won’t say which of those characters survived, if any, they will surely make for a first-rate suspect in Lottie’s homicide.
Shauna’s Stalker
Since Season 3 started, somebody has been following Shauna, and the present thought is that this particular person is the aforementioned further Yellowjacket. Although not confirmed, it appears doubtless that this particular person is answerable for the difficulty along with her brakes and for her getting caught within the freezer. Perhaps after failing to kill Shauna, they turned their sights on Lottie as an alternative.

A Yellowjackets Household Member
Together with the unknown Yellowjacket survivor, it is potential {that a} member of the family of one of many deceased teammates determined to take their revenge. As of now, we do not know what these family members know concerning the ladies’ time within the Wilderness, however based mostly on all of the rumors, it is actually potential that they found out components of it. Nat’s current loss of life might need mobilized one in all them to proceed killing the survivors, or perhaps Lottie sought one in all them to offer her apology, earlier than revealing the horrible secrets and techniques of what they did.
Lottie’s Dad
One other liked one we’ve got to think about in Lottie’s loss of life is her personal father. It is arduous to inform why he’d need her useless, and even tougher to inform whether or not he has the psychological colleges he’d want to rearrange the job. Nonetheless, Lottie made a degree of going to Shauna’s as an alternative of her dad’s when she wanted assist, and later, he made an odd remark about how Lottie’s loss of life have to be considered as an accident. It is potential he was confused and referring to the aircraft crash, however even then, the best way he spoke of the crash virtually made it sound prefer it wasn’t an accident, both. Mixed with the odd look Walter gave Lottie’s trash baggage, we do not doubt there’s extra to her father’s story, even when her homicide is not a part of it.

Lottie
It isn’t one thing we actually need to take into account, however there’s a non-zero probability that Lottie Matthews killed Lottie Matthews. As acknowledged earlier than, the final scene earlier than the physique discovery was of her working towards an apology to somebody, which appears to counsel that, whereas within the psychological establishment, she started to mirror on all of the tragedies that befell. After taking part in such an enormous position in her mates’ tragic fates, she might need began to really feel responsible, and upon realizing an apology would not make the guilt go away, she might have made a horrible, drastic choice.
An Unlikely Final result
The scratch marks on the partitions counsel that Lottie did not imply to fall. Plus, the particular person on the entrance desk stated she had appeared pleased earlier than leaving that morning. All in all, we do not actually assume that Lottie killed herself, however we do surprise if—maybe on the Wilderness’ prompting—she knowingly put herself in a scenario the place she’d be at risk.

Callie
All through the season, Shauna’s daughter Callie (Sarah Desjardins) has slowly been revealing her darkish facet, even bonding with Shauna over a “prank” wherein she threw entrails at her bullies. She’s additionally rapidly grown near Lottie, spending time shoplifting collectively and studying extra concerning the Wilderness. On the identical time, Lottie performed an enormous position in practically getting Shauna killed, and Callie just lately obtained a mysterious tape that very properly might need to do with Lottie. It is potential, then, that each one this time Callie has spent with Lottie has been with the intent of drawing her sufferer in shut.
Like Mom, Like Daughter
To be truthful, like most of the characters on this record, the proof linking Callie to Lottie’s homicide is slim. Her whereabouts on the time are unknown, and her response to the loss of life has but to be seen. Nonetheless, there are simply sufficient hints pointing to her—from Jackie’s necklace to the truth that Walter now has Shauna’s DNA, which means that he additionally has Callie’s—that it is actually a risk. Plus, if she’s something like her mom, it is about time for her first kill and to affix the hunt.
1
The Wilderness
Whether or not or not the Wilderness is actual is the central thriller of Yellowjackets. The ladies actually appear to assume it’s, or no less than, they’ve satisfied themselves so. In the event that they’re proper, this implies the Wilderness might simply have been the one to take Lottie out, perhaps as a result of Tai and Van refused to kill the opposite sacrifice, or just because it had determined it was Lottie’s time.
Not That Wild a Principle
The concept that the Wilderness is actual and pulling the strings may not enchantment to everybody. Nonetheless, practically all of the deaths within the present have one way or the other associated to the Wilderness, or no less than, the ladies have tried to hyperlink them again to it. So, even when another person immediately killed Lottie—be it Tai, Callie, or anybody else— there’s nonetheless purpose to query whether or not the Wilderness performed a job in her loss of life, and if that’s the case, which Yellowjacket shall be subsequent on its record.
