maybe it isn't about who pulls the queen of hearts but about who provides it. Javi found the queen and died first. Natalie put the card in the deck in the last episode and she also died. Not sure about Jackie tho?

shauna blindfolding herself to slice javi open vs natalie saying “you’re gonna have to look me in the eye” before having her throat slit open vs the queen of hearts with the eyes scratched out deciding who dies vs the man with no eyes trying to kill tai its all about eyes and death and eyes eyes do you see do you see it’s right in front of you do you see death

yellowjackets s2 finale spoilers but I am screaming crying fucking throwing up that -

The wilderness ostensibly did choose Natalie the first time. It was Misty in all her human cunning who figured out a loophole, how she could change the game so it worked in her favor. She saved Natalie from being chosen when they were young, so not only did the wilderness return for what it was owed, it ensured Natalie's death was at Misty's own hand. It's so on-theme. The girls wanted Shauna to live and so her baby died. They asked for food and then there was Jackie perfectly cooked. Misty rescued Natalie from the others and now Misty has been unable to save Natalie from herself because she has never, ever been willing or able to engage with her own darkness no matter how many innocent people she hurts.

It's tragic and cosmic and it rips out my heart. Misty never wanted Crystal to die and she never wanted Natalie to die. This is the same girl who expressed anger at herself through grief-stricken sobs as she cried out, "You always do this!" She doesn't understand why she's like this or how she manages to shatter every single thing she cares about in the world despite trying so desperately to protect and preserve them. But she does. She's done it again and again and she always, every time, finds a way to make it not her fault.

The thing is - as much as the wilderness seems to function as a genie-esque entity that grants wishes but never in the way one might expect - "the wilderness" was always primarily a convenient excuse for the girls to externalize the darkness they couldn't accept as part of them. Shauna says as much - that it was an unspoken agreement among them to shift the fault for whatever they had to do to survive onto this powerful force that was easy to buy into and blame.

"It" returned and chose Natalie again because "it" is that need to justify and defend and believe even in the face of all evidence that you're still a good person who loves and helps and takes care of people. You're not a monster. You're not a killer, and even if you did kill a few people, it was for the good of the group.

Until, that is, you miscalculate your aim, and you get to live with having watched the light leave the eyes of the last person you loved in your arms because you killed her. You killed her for nothing; it meant nothing, it did nothing, it was for nothing, and it's going to ruin Misty Quigley as the one act she will never, ever find a good enough excuse to soothe away the guilt of.

Coach Ben did nothing wrong

Ok.

So Walter listens to "(Nothing's Gonna Harm You) Not While I'm Around" while finding out that Adam's remains have been found and then instantly starts mailing the Wiskayok police department. He starts writing that he has information about the murder.

Is the show telling us that he's Tobias and will protect Misty from (maybe) the deadly game Lottie suggested the ladies play? Is that what will change Misty forever?

Or is he Sweeney Todd and will turn on her? He did send that e-mail to the police after all. What info will he give them?

Then he gathers his things to leave (for the compound) while "Phantom of the Opera" is playing. The last time we heard of that musical on the show? Misty captured Jessica.

You've been here for me in a way that, uh, no one has. You've been a real friend.
