Who Is Pit Woman?
Pit lady is a younger lady who seems in a flashforward scene within the wilderness, within the pilot episode of the present. She is seen solely from the again working by way of the woods as whispers are heard that at the beginning sound like animals however then seem like the opposite girls themselves. Many thought she was Jackie (Ella Purnell) till that character met her premature demise in a a lot completely different manner.
She is frantic, carrying a small white nightdress and screaming in agony as a result of she is aware of what’s about to occur. As she runs, she falls right into a deep, hidden pit. She goes silent and the digicam pans to her useless, face down and lined in blood. The pit is full of branches mounted neatly within the snow beneath, clearly set as much as catch and kill prey.
Jackie’s necklace is seen round her neck, the identical one which was given to Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) proper earlier than she was alleged to be sacrificed (however was spared when Javi died as an alternative). Natalie later put the necklace round Ben’s (Steven Krueger) neck proper earlier than he was alleged to be shot. 25 years later, Lottie (Simone Kessell) gave the identical necklace to Callie (Sarah Desjardins) within the current day.
A lady carrying a masks seems, appears to be like within the pit, and turns seemingly to name her buddies. Pit lady’s flesh is later cooked and consumed by the women, one of many worst crimes dedicated by the women, suggesting that she was the one the Queen of Hearts card sport indicated that the “wilderness selected.” She might have pulled the lethal card and had the selection, simply as Natalie did, to offer in and have her throat slit or run by way of the forest and let the women hunt. Clearly, she selected the latter. However it labored towards her.
Since Season 3 started, the id of pit lady stays one in all Yellowjackets’ greatest unanswered questions. Followers, as famous, have suspected Mari to be pit lady. She suits with the general look of the lady. She is about the identical top, seems to be across the similar age, and has lengthy, brown hair. However there are a number of causes it may not be Mari and doubtlessly a brand new candidate.

Maintain On, That ‘Yellowjackets’ Loss of life Got here Out of Nowhere
In the event you thought Natalie’s dying in Season 2 of ‘Yellowjackets’ was stunning, this one will shake you to your core.
Pit Woman May Truly Be Hannah
In season 3, episode 6 “Thanksgiving (Canada),” a mysterious man and lady present up on the girls’ campfire. In episode 7 “Croak,” followers be taught who they’re. Hannah (Ashley Sutton) and Edwin (Nelson Franklin), who Lottie (Courtney Eaton) brutally kills, are college researchers learning the mating rituals of frogs. There’s a second man as nicely named Kodi (Joel McHale) who’s their information.
Within the current day, Hannah, Edwin, and Kodi are all confirmed to have gone lacking, by no means having returned from that expedition. Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) even finds Hannah’s obituary on-line. It’s doubtless each have been ultimately killed, which makes Hannah a superb candidate for pit lady. She has an identical body to Mari. She has lengthy brown hair as nicely. And, given the outfit, it’s extra doubtless that the lady escaped or ran not figuring out in regards to the ritual, or for some motive, not being dressed appropriately for the climate throughout it.
It’s confirmed on the finish of Episode 7 that the women do ultimately seize Hannah. They might not have killed her immediately, particularly believing she may very well be their ticket residence. However ultimately, seeing as the women aren’t more likely to make it residence earlier than one other winter season hits, Hannah most likely has an expiration date.

Rating Which Yellowjacket Will Most Doubtless Be the “Solely One Left”
The Yellowjackets made it out of the Wilderness alive, however they won’t survive what Season 3 has in retailer.
Because the climate will get chilly and the wildlife go away, the women might be determined as soon as once more for meals. That is when the Queen of Hearts sport might start once more. The women might play with out revealing the end result to Hannah. Or maybe they merely determine on their very own that she is the sacrifice and provides her the necklace.
She might determine what’s occurring and run, hoping to seek out someplace to cover. This could clarify the inappropriate gown for the climate. It will additionally clarify why she had no information of the pit. If it’s the identical pit Mari fell into, she would doubtless keep in mind it was there. If it’s a brand new one the women dug, given its ample measurement and the complicated entice set inside, it’s onerous to imagine that any of the core girls weren’t a part of creating it and thus know precisely the place it’s. That’s, apart from Hannah, who was doubtless being stored prisoner like Ben (Steven Krueger) was.
Proof It May Not Be Mari
Not solely are there viable explanation why pit lady may very well be Hannah, however additional inspection suggests it’s not Mari. First, the lady shouldn’t be carrying any footwear and he or she’s in a slinky, white nightgown, as famous. If the women have been enjoying the Queen of Hearts sport, figuring out that one in all them was about to be a sacrifice, they’d doubtless be dressed warmly for the outside within the occasion they determined to go for the hunt and run. What’s extra, even when they weren’t enjoying the sport, with no cabin, that sort of clothes wouldn’t have stored anybody sufficiently heat in the course of the chilly nights in a tent. The particular person carrying it was clearly under-dressed for a motive.

Wait, We Truly Wanted That ‘Yellowjackets’ Bonus Episode
‘Yellowjackets’ promised a bonus episode between Season 2 and three, nevertheless it by no means occurred, and it most likely ought to.
Second, whereas it’s doable the pit she fell into was a brand new one the women secretly dug, it’s extra doubtless the identical pit Mari already fell into. That point when she fell into pit after Ben lined it up with leaves may have been intelligent foreshadowing, or an intentional misdirect. The present actually made Mari a pit lady, regardless that she survived that point by being saved by Ben. Thus, Mari would have recognized the pit was there until she obtained misplaced or was too frantic to acknowledge the place she was.
With that mentioned, Mari doesn’t seem within the current day and the women have alluded time and time once more to everybody else being gone. So, it’s doubtless that Mari dies sooner or later. Whether or not or not she’s the pit lady, she may very nicely be one in all a lot of them. The women do, in any case, doubtless have one other lengthy winter to get by way of. If that lethal pit isn’t catching animals, they’ll want one thing (or somebody) for sustenance.
