I think about this scene and "Jackie likes Poppies" a lot.

Jeff’s note seems to imply that he and Shauna were already hooking up, but her response makes me wonder what other advice she might have given him to help win over Jackie.

As Jackie's best friend, did she play Cyrano and help set them up? We know from the bedroom flashback that Jackie asked for her help early on, but what if she went further and guided Jeff through the early stages of dating?

After all, no one knew Jackie better than Shauna. So Jeff likely would've asked for help winning her over, and whether out of guilt or jealousy of both, Shauna agreed to help him.

I love the thought of picking out gifts for Jackie and planning dates she knows Jackie will enjoy, maybe even writing love letters and signing them as Jeff. To the extent that she's aware of her own feelings, the only socially acceptable way she can date Jackie herself is by proxy.

But more likely, she'd tell herself (and Jeff) that she's just being a good friend, and trying to make up for all the times she's been a bad friend. Jackie deserves the boyfriend of her dreams, and she'll do what it takes to turn Jeff into that boyfriend, even if it means doing everything herself.

Anyway, I tried writing this as a fanfic a little while back, but it turned out too sad, and I struggled to finish it. Maybe I will get back to it, but for now, I wanted to share the thought at least.

My prediction . On next season of Yellowjackets we will find out that Callie is in fact Jackie’s daughter . How you ask ? Shauna will reveal that when she ate Jackie’s ear it stayed within her and after they were rescued when she thought it was all a dream the darkness turned the ear into a fetus and nine months later she gave birth . After this shocking revelation Van will slap Misty and tell her to stop drugging Shauna and Misty will say she was just trying to help her relax

Just some Yellowjackets thoughts. I am currently working on a potential paper about the Shauna ear consumption scene, and I have watched 2x01 an obscene amount of times. I thought I'd share something interesting I have noticed (it may have been discussed before). During the first hallucination scene, Jackie and Shauna play MASH and Jackie tells Shauna that she'll live in New Jersey, become a stay-at-home mom, and be married to Jeff. Shauna laughs and dismisses it by saying she doesn't "want to talk about the future" and she's all about "living in the moment." In the continuation of this scene, Jackie tells her that if she doesn't want to "dig into the future" that they should "talk about the past" instead and makes a joke about the whole 'haunting' thing. This establishes--for Teen Shauna--the beginning of her complicated relationship with temporality. A relationship which we as the viewers already know develops well into adulthood and does not spare any of the adult counterparts. In general, the simultaneous backwards and forwards moving timelines (i.e., we're trying to get to the pit girl moment in the 96' timeline, but also moving we're forward with the adults, but none of the adults have actually left the wilderness and are exhibiting clear signs of regression, so we're experiencing everything all at once rather than chronologically) is a fascinating topic in and of itself, but this is not what I wanted to talk about. We see the MASH game that Jackie and Shuna played in that hallucination scene during 1x06 as well, when Shauna is visiting Jackie's parents. Shauna goes into her bedroom, picks up Jackie's journal and goes through page by page. Eventually, we see that it is the same exact page with one missing detail. In the 2x01 version, there is a twirl in red pen on the left page, whereas in the 1x06 version, it is absent (see pictures for comparison).

Jackie's Journal in 1x06.

Jackie's Journal in 2x01.

This could be an unfortunate continuity error. Either way, this is clearly supposed to represent the same journal. This could mean one of two things:

Jackie brought a journal with her on the plane, and this is an old MASH game that she and Shauna played in the past and Shauna is simply reliving it in a hallucinatory state.

Truthfully, given that there has been no indication that Jackie did bring a journal, and Shauna is the only character affiliated with this type of writing (and writing as a whole), I think this might not have been Jackie's journal at all. Which leads to the next point:

2. The Journal is Shauna's. We know that Shauna kept multiple journals from her time in the wilderness. We also know that during her hallucinatory state, even though "Jackie" was writing, it was actually Shauna who was doing all of the actions. This means that at bare minimum, this one page was Shauna's doing... But if we take this thought to the extreme, then it is possible that Shauna wrote her own version of Jackie into being during the two months that Jackie had been dead. It could also suggest that all of the other things in that journal are Shauna's depiction of Jackie, and not Jackie herself. I think this puts a really interesting twist on this idea of consumption, expanding it beyond the physical cannibalization of Jackie's ear and subsequently her body, but really show Shauna not just playing with Jackie, but becoming Jackie. Obviously, she later marries Jeff and lives the life she believes was supposed to be Jackie's but that's quite an explicit example of this. Not sure what I think about this, all I know is that it's raw and painfully intimate. Anyways, I would love to hear what you guys think.
