Yellowjackets Season 3 premiered on February 14, 2025, and has released six episodes so far. The new season depicts how the young girls are struggling to survive in the wilderness as time passes.

In recent episodes, Akilah’s vision that was triggered by the poison gas saved Coach Ben’s life for a while as she interpreted that he would be the Bridge between the wilderness they are stuck in and the society that they want to go back to.

However, things become complicated when she has another vision of a three-eyed bear, which she is having trouble interpreting.

More on this in our story.


What does Akilah’s three-eyed bear vision mean in Yellowjackets Season 3?

After her previous vision of Coach Ben being the Bridge in episode 5 of Yellowjackets Season 3, which will help the girl get back home, Akilah and several other girls are empathetic to Coach Ben’s condition, as survival has become difficult for him. He tries to persuade Natalie to kill him by begging her and later by making her angry with his confession of being responsible for the cabin fire. However, all his tactics fail to convince Natalie.

Meanwhile, Akilah is not satisfied with the outcome of her vision about Ben and goes back to the cave to check if she had missed something in the previous vision. However, she experiences a new and strange vision: a bear arrives at their camp and grows a third eye. She also sees a glimpse of the girls performing a ritual. The strange vision devastated Akilah as she couldn’t interpret the meaning.

Her vision of the three-eyed bear can mean several things. The first one is a connection to the bear heart sacrifice that Lottie did in Season 1 of Yellowjackets. In the first season, Lottie calms down a sick bear and sacrifices its heart to the wilderness after killing it. Akilah’s vision might indicate that there might be more deaths in the upcoming episodes committed by Lottie.

Other than that, the bear might also represent the authenticity of Akilah’s vision. As the third eye represents the ability of clairvoyance, it might also mean Akilah can rely on her vision, which she has been doubting since it began to occur.

Although still in the initial stage, Akilah’s vision might prove crucial to the girls’ journey and survival ahead in the wilderness.
