Yellowjackets Season 3 Episode 4: What does Travis' drawing mean

The fourth episode of Yellowjackets Season 3 delivered high-stakes drama, unsettling psychological moments, and a shocking death. However, one of the biggest mysteries is Travis' cryptic drawing, which he leaves largely unexplained.

The only thing Travis says is that it's an outcome. While nothing is confirmed, the drawing strongly suggests a connection to Coach Ben. Notably, Ben was found guilty in the girls' trial, and if Travis's latest sketch indeed foreshadows his fate. The girls might kill and eat him— just as they did with Javi.

However, a Coach Ben theory on Reddit suggests a different outcome: while Ben might die, the girls might not end up eating him. A user named @East_Drive7059 wrote:

"I know many in this sub believe that Ben is going to die this season, most likely at the hands of the girls. However, what if instead of killing him to eat, what if they put him out of his misery? What if Ben gets sick? Rabies, infection, etc…"

This theory introduces an unexpected yet intriguing possibility—if Ben contracts an infectious disease like rabies, the girls may be unwilling to consume him.

However, another Reddit user @plates_25, speculated that with spring approaching, the girls might not kill Ben but instead hold him prisoner. If this theory holds, Nat, Travis, and possibly others may attempt to help him escape. Given that Travis's drawing appears to hint at Ben’s fate, he is expected to play a significant role in what happens to the coach in Yellowjackets Season 3.
