What happened in the previous episodes of Yellowjackets Season 3?

In the first episode of Yellowjackets season 3, the teenage survivors try to adjust to life in the wilderness during the summer. Though they built huts and raised animals under Nat’s leadership, tension remained high among the group.

Shauna, still mourning the loss of her baby and best friend, lashed out, especially at Mari. Their rivalry got worse when Shauna bit Mari during a game of Capture the Flag. Meanwhile, it was revealed that Coach Ben was still alive but hiding.

At present, Shauna tried to reconnect with Callie while dealing with Nat’s funeral. On the other hand, Misty felt guilty and isolated herself. She later got drunk and spiraled out of control. At the same time, Taissa and Van reignited old feelings during a risky night out.

In the second episode, the focus shifted to Coach Ben, who helped Mari after she dislocated her knee. She thought he wanted to kill her, but he was only trying to help. Meanwhile, Shauna secretly dug up her baby’s body and buried it somewhere else.

Lottie convinced Travis to take more hallucinogens, believing he could communicate with the wilderness. In the present, Lottie showed up at Shauna’s house, and Callie convinced her mom to let her stay.

Meanwhile, teenage Shauna caught Melissa spying on her at her baby's grave. She angrily threatened to kill Melissa for following her. However, instead of backing down, Melissa kissed Shauna, and Shauna kissed her back.
