SPOILERS are forward for Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 4, now streaming with a Paramount+ subscription.
Ever since Yellowjackets Season 3 started, I’ve been nervous about what horrors are to come back for the highschool soccer workforce that has been stranded within the wilderness for thus lengthy they’ve resorted to cannibalism… twice. To this point within the new season, the women (and Travis) are beginning to thrive now that winter is over, with Natalie as their Antler Queen, however bother has emerged following the return of Coach Ben.
When CinemaBlend sat down for our Yellowjackets Season 3 interviews, I needed to discuss to 2 key solid members about their ideas on the destiny of Coach Ben after that emotional and surprising trial in Episode 4.
What Two Yellowjackets Stars Mentioned About The Trial Of Coach Ben
If any two characters have been probably the most affected by the trial of Coach Ben, it was Sophie Thatcher’s Natalie and Samantha Hanratty’s Misty.
Natalie constructed an in depth bond with Coach Ben whereas within the wilderness, and Coach appears to belief her greater than anybody. Now that she’s Antler Queen, she needed to make the tough resolution to place the coach on trial to appease all of the Yellowjackets. Nonetheless, I don’t suppose she was anticipating them to search out him responsible.
Right here’s what Thatcher stated concerning the occasions of the episode:
I believe it creates an actual divide now. I believe you see that Shauna is actually coming into energy and he or she, as a result of she’s so manipulative, and persons are very inclined as a result of everybody’s in a really susceptible state and simply needs a pacesetter that has energy that they belief. And I believe Natalie is nearly missing that energy proper now as a result of there’s intimidation. It is all intimidation. And I believe, yeah, I believe Shauna, you get to see a very ugly facet of her and everybody’s falling for it.
Whereas it initially appeared like Coach Ben acquired the Yellowjackets on his facet, Shauna helped skew the vote in opposition to him, and he was in the end discovered responsible.
Hanratty shared her personal ideas on the episode after Misty was tasked with defending him of their “courtroom.” In her phrases:
I believe that it is a heartbreaking time for Misty as a result of I believe she actually thought she was gonna save him. She’s saved Ben now twice, between reducing off his leg and utilizing the tourniquet and with him wanting to finish his life, after which she thinks that she will be able to actually do it once more. And when she’s unsuccessful, it is heartbreaking. And, this subsequent episode is gonna be determining what and the way they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do.
Ugh, I’m so nervous for Coach Ben and the way this controversy among the many workforce will affect issues. The actors’ feedback on the scenario have me including one other idea to the ever-growing record from followers concerning the collection.
It doesn’t matter what, I’ve a sense this episode is establishing what we’ve feared: the dying of Coach Ben. Whether or not the Yellowjackets kill him for his high-protein butt meat, he decides to finish his personal life or run away and die there, I believe the character is about to go bye-bye sadly.
With that in thoughts, between understanding Natalie and what Thatcher stated concerning the episode, I’ve an inkling that maybe the Yellowjackets will activate her character and crown Shauna, or Natalie will hand over her crown.
I consider this not simply because Thatcher name-dropped Shauna whereas talking concerning the trial particularly. Elsewhere within the interview, after I requested her about turning into Antler Queen, she stated this:
It is attention-grabbing going into this season as a result of Shauna actually takes over. And I believe, to be Antler Queen means it’s a must to do numerous horrible issues that I believe Natalie would not have inside her.
Shauna, nevertheless, does have it in her. She’s misplaced her greatest buddy and child after being pregnant within the wilderness and is coping with the guilt of two-timing along with her greatest buddy’s boyfriend. Plus, we all know that sooner or later, she is prepared to kill others and chop up their our bodies. If the Yellowjackets are going to develop into the cult-like picture we noticed within the opening of the present, it’s most likely not by the hands of Natalie.
Anyway, now I’m simply getting chills about what would possibly occur the remainder of the season. We’ll be taught extra concerning the fallout of Coach Ben’s trial this Friday. Till then, try what Sophie Thatcher and Christina Ricci needed to say about saying goodbye to the final dying, Juliette Lewis’ current day Nat, on the finish of Season 2.
