When shauna said, “she wants us to”, I didn’t take it as her baby saying that but that it was Jackie. I didn’t think for a second that it was her baby saying that. She was already trying to justify eating Jackie earlier in the episode when Jackie was “helping her” by cutting up her skin that Jackie wanted her to do it. Anyone else think that?

[@brynniefresh9746]

i did not think she was saying her baby was saying to either...i do think it could be argued that she could have been craving jackie meat cause of her pregnancy tho cause people crave weird things when they're pregnant, they're all starving, and she's going through a lot of shit with jackie's death...ya know all that shit make it more believable she would do that

[@oofx2698]

I immediately thought she was talking about Jackie.. I assumed that’s why she justified the scent attracting them all, like a gift almost. I’m pretty sure she was only holding her stomach because she was pregnant, right? I’m on the same boat as you

[@CeeCee222]

@@oofx2698 yeah, she was only holding her stomach because of the baby and she’s hungry. She has to eat for 2.

[@MsJackieJack]

I thought it was Jackie she was talking about, too. Honestly, I often forget Wilderness Shauna is pregnant. She's always so fixated on Jackie, even after death. Anything to not think of the baby. That baby represents so much guilt and shame for her. I think Shauna's mental health is just gonna get worse as time goes on.

[@HK-gm8pe]

yep but I also think that Jackie would have wanted them survive....I dont think that she would have cared if they eat her, since she is dead anyway :D

[@TheComelyLads]

Lottie always saw visions and premonitions (she and her parents avoided the car crash) and was on psychiatric medication because her parents refused to believe in her abilities. She had her meds on her in the crash, but she eventually ran out/stopped taking it. Her abilities returned because she was no longer in a medicated state, not because of the seance.

[@brynniefresh9746]

i think that the seance made her powers stronger, being in the cabin made them stronger, and probably how long they are out in the wilderness as well

[@doublefeature]

she def ran out, didn't stop taking them. they show her at some point holding the last pill.

[@TheComelyLads]

@@doublefeature absolutely, but I specified stopped taking them to make it clear to anyone who was confused (namely, the person writing scripts for Heavy Spoilers)

[@HK-gm8pe]

so....medications take psychic powers away?:D:D:D

[@brynniefresh9746]

@@HK-gm8pe I mean antidepressants and adhd meds make people feel dull or like zombies who’s to say antipsychotics don’t do that to psychic people…but to be fair we don’t see her outside of the woods with powers like she has in the woods like I think it’s fair to assume that even if she was psychic before she has heightened powers because of the woods and the others are acting weird coz of it too like Tai basically has dissociative episodes, shauna had a dream that told the future,etc.

[@myleahford6924]

They roasted Jackie like chicken. I yelled as soon as that snow landed on her 😭🍗. The ending with the back and forth of them shown at the table dressed up, and what they really look like on top of using Radiohead's Climbing up the wall song was beautifully yet terrifyingly done

Coach is next on the menu

[@suzybearheart530]

I thought Nat and a few others would have held out too. It was pretty shocking when they all dove in and feasted on roast Jackie!

[@snailorgy]

bit of a weird theory, but I think the little brother is in that mossy tree. as things decompose they produce heat which is why its not covered in snow, the kids basically compost, and why Lottie thinks she can ''feel him'' with her taking on the role as nature's avatar/orical/shaman/thingy. there was also a lot of stuff in season 1 about them putting offerings inside that sacred tree stump like the bear heart.

[@suzybearheart530]

Oooh interesting…

[@uberliner503]

Love this theory!!

[@issisdelgado189]

Great theory!

[@_adrian_sean]

Yeah there is a good chance he was there. I'm working on a theory that he survived by staying in a cave in the mountains during the winter. And that tree was close to the mountains

[@trey3rob]

It makes it SO MUCH BETTER that adult Shauna ate with Jackies parents on her birthday now knowing SHE ATE THEIR DAUGHTER 🤣👏🏽

[@apocalypse_frau]

This also makes the annual rabbit gifts more ironic.

[@blackdandelion5549]

Then she is reading her diary like "My long lost friend" when she ate her!!! How can she sit there with Jackie's parents calmly and look through her high school diary when she ate this person, even when no one was looking!!!

[@Suiter]

I've been pretty sure for a while that the heart necklace is given to the one designated to be the sacrifice. There seems to be a whole ritual around the hunting and the hunted, including what the hunted wears. I mean, pit girl wasn't just wandering around in a nightgown when the others decided to hunt her.

[@pattheticc]

That makes sense

[@shorty94ism]

Oh you made me think of something! Pit Girl from the beginning was also wearing a nightgown like Lottie was in Travis vision when he was making love to Nat. So is there going to be ritual thing? Or just a coincidence

[@yubinp1791]

exactly what i think too maybe she was made to wear that necklace so that she could be the next jackie

[@kc5997]

Absolutely. They will also take the mushrooms to be in a dream like state .

[@may.k_me]

One thing that shocked me was how they all decided to cremate Jackie right in front of the cabin. It takes a LONG time for bodies to be cremated, and on top of that they are doing it out in the open in the middle of winter. I can't believe they were okay with the idea of being able to smell burning flesh. Just the thought of it is making me nauseous. I didn't anticipate that the smell would attract them and make them want to eat her, although I did think it was a possibility. Another thing that surprised me was that I thought there would be more people unwilling to partake in the "feast" (Natalie esp, idk) It's obvious the coach is next. The season's trailer even had the girls carrying a tied up body on a stick.

[@everythingcollectibles]

Poor Coach! He doesn’t deserve that! Jackie didn’t neither. Her body should have had some dignity!

[@blackdandelion5549]

I would have expected Lottie to make another statement about a bear sacrificing itself or something and a wild animal coming due to the smell of human remains. I also don't feel they really showed or portrayed how hungry the girls really were. No one was complaining and the very few clues were just how they had little meat left and everyone's bowls were getting smaller. No one was really acting like they were starving to death before making this choice to me. I would have preferred if they were entirely out of meat and only had broth for days and were harping on Travis and Nat to get a deer or bring back food.

[@jaysotho]

same i didnt want to say it but it ended up being a factor- the smell of her body was a lot.

[@kc5997]

They've broken the seal of the #1 taboo. It's gonna unravel from there. Not only did they eat her, they enjoyed it.

[@may.k_me]

@@blackdandelion5549 yes! I had the same issue. The show didn't convincingly portray the level of hunger that they would have been feeling. Also no one struggled with the idea of eating Jackie? They all just sort of looked at each other waiting for permission, but there wasn't any internal moral conflict

[@Persephone_Personified]

The baby doesn't want them to eat Jackie "It's ok. She wants us to." She IS Jackie. Remember what Lottie said when they'd captured stag Travis? "It's ok. He wants us to." To Shauna whilst she held a knife to his throat.

[@doublefeature]

yeah plus the last scenes of her and dead ass jackie are Jackie literally saying 'it's ok, you're hungry.' aka giving her the all clear to keep snacking. i think a lot of people got confused because she grabs her belly right before she says that but it's only to signify the hunger.

[@_adrian_sean]

No I think Lottie was referring to whatever tree spirit she worships. And I think they were saying JACKIE wanted them to and she was ok with it so they didn't feel guilty

[@autonomous_ultra_instant]

I’m not sure how or why but I 💯 believe that javi is still alive. I don’t think they’d be pushing so hard with Lottie insisting that he’s still alive and Natalie trying so hard to convince Travis that he’s dead if it wasn’t going to lead to the twist of him being alive. Not only would it be a shocker and invite a bunch of crazy stuff stemming from however he survived but it’ll also push for everyone to believe in Lottie even more

[@brynniefresh9746]

i definitely agree...they better make that shit believable cause this 14 year old kid has been on his own for 2/3 months at this point

[@asap_bozzy6735]

I think javi is Adam

[@Zera1928]

Most reasonable explanation is Javi accidentally stumbled upon rescue months ago and is now either trying to find them or scared to try to find them because of the circumstances of him running away in the first place

[@HK-gm8pe]

yeah but how would he have stayed alive? only way how is when he maybe found that planewreck and stayed in there....but then still he doesnt have anything to eat... its impossible for him to be still alive unless there is something supernatural going on

[@mrspalmy]

Travis's note: "tell nat she was right"... could that indicate she was right about javi?

[@magzdilluh]

my theory is that the mossy tree is above an underground heat source of some kind, maybe a mining tunnel? If Javi made it to a miner's tunnel it would give him a shot at survival additional theory: Simone tragically dies, giving Tai full custody of Sammy and which also means the only other living person who knows about her shadow self is now gone. Tai is in deep, deep trouble

[@brynniefresh9746]

i think everyone has forgotten that callie is 17 years old...she is in high school, they've talked about how she doesn't have much money in her college fund, she lives with her parents, still has to get rides places, and is in trouble for going to parties...callie is 17 in a bar, so she's obviously gonna pretend she's in college cause she's not gonna out herself to a grown adult she wants to make out with...that being said, if what you said happens that cop is going to prison coz she's a minor and that man is like 35 years old

[@shannonarmer6204]

I read an article from the creators and this episode had a lot of aha moments. Tai being in a sleep state with the whole Sammy situation is also letting us know that she was definitely in a sleeping state and her alternate self when eating Jackie. I always assumed she wasn't exactly in a conscious state when dream walking, but the Simone situation proves she's just as able to function normally in her other state. They're going to wake up and she's going to not remember what she did. Had she been awake, I believe she'd have tried to reason with everyone.

[@jinxminxks]

Sound good. Because I. Can't imagine Tassi going along especially how straight forward she Is. Wow. I can't wait for episode 3 after math

[@doublefeature]

a redditor pointed out something i missed from the lotte/travis scene with laura lee. theres a quick flash of something else besides the baptism she sees. it looks like just a red screen but they paused it and screen shot it. it's actually a shot of what appears to be young Lotte with an extremely bloodied face. like she had been beaten to a pulp. when travis is talking about 'it' and how when van came close to death and then he says when YOU did. i assumed he meant the baptism but i'm starting to think something else happens to Lotte in the woods that puts her near death.

[@uberliner503]

Can you post a link to the reddit with the screenshot?

[@darnelleechols6715]

I’m 99% sure Javi is alive as I don’t see it being such a major plot point complete with Nats lie. I think they are charging towards whoever he’s with when it shows them all with weapons running

[@brynniefresh9746]

i agree but i don't think he makes it out of the woods...like why would javi not be there for his brother? he could tho because the writers did say they originally were gonna make adam javi but that the idea was short lived so maybe he is alive idk

[@Stillwater1967]

Are they ever going to find out Misty is the reason they are still there? What was the point in them showing her destroy that jet tech thing/ transmitter that helps them be found?

[@illustrate303]

Yea maybe, maybe not. May just be a plot point telling the audience, no one is coming for a long time, but I do hope that comes back and it’s why they all find her so annoying still, other than her just being annoying, but at same time it’s literally her fault rescue took them soooo long so not sure how they can just forgive that if they knew

[@wolvewick4414]

bro they dislike misty, not only because of her poison mushrooms on food, but because they will find out she destroy the tech that could have save them all earlier. remember they all liked her for saving them and guide them after plane crashes.

[@doublefeature]

i think she may confide in Crystal about it.

[@may.k_me]

The point of showing it was to let the audience know That doesn't mean the characters would find out, not unless Misty herself reveals it to someone

[@quizzlybear]

@@may.k_me But from a show perspective, it makes sense to have the other eventually find out because it would create drama and tension.

[@steelersfan6787]

[@may.k_me]

Jeff has read Shauna's diaries, so that means he knows that they all ate Jackie And the circumstances around it That's pretty wild.

[@suzybearheart530]

And he still loves her in spite of everything. He’s really grown on me as a character.

[@CheenaBeanz]

Considering how calculated Shauna is, and given the trend of characters as unreliable narrators, I can totally see Shauna lying in her journals. The mere existence of them is a liability, or maybe even fodder for a book- either way, she married Jackie's boyfriend and ate Jackie. I doubt she's going to be sloppy enough to lose Jeff on accident. Does he really know how Jackie actually died and STILL accompanies Shauna to dinner with Jackie's family?!?! Hell, she cheated on him and he still chooses to be complicit in covering up her murder. Just some food for thought (heh)

[@_adrian_sean]

Like he said.... He wasn't there and they did what they had to in order to stay alive. If I were him I'd be more upset they put her out of the cabin which caused her death

[@_adrian_sean]

​@@CheenaBeanz if she lied in the journals she wouldn't have kept them in a safe or burned them so they would no longer be a liability. Whatever Jeff read actually happened

[@kc5997]

I don't think she wrote everything they did in her journal. Remember, she pretended these were Jackie's...

[@may.k_me]

Javi is definitely still alive. I think this is what ultimately causes the rift between Travis and Natalie- because he finds out that she lied to him. The moss growing on the tree suggests there is some kind of heat source and water source nearby. A lot of people have theorised that the underground bunker might be there and maybe Javi hid there. But then the question becomes what is his food source?

[@Vermilion.to.1]

Maybe Travis saying that "Nat was right" in her note was him trying to say "Javi DID die. But something worse came back wearing his skin" D:

[@zeulowns69]

I feel bad for the coach witnessing that cannibal nonsense lmaooo 💀

[@manthajonny]

The thing that gets me about the wind scene at the end is that this scene is just for the audience, not the girls as they don't see what's happening, so gives us a sense of something else is going on and not the girls "delusion"

Lottie is definitely lying. When Misty trapped Jessica Robert's, she told Misty "I know that Travis was murdered. You may not be sure, but I am.". She is using the leverage she has to try and escape and I don't think she had reason to lie at that point (her arms and legs were changed to the bed, she had nothing to lose at that point). Lottie told the atory convincingly but it doesn't add up

[@hjbau1350]

The girl that adult Nat stabs in the first episode has another weird scene where she gives adult Lottie a coffee. That girl has to be important. She is either Shauna's child or Nat and Travis' child. She is someone that is going to matter.

[@brynniefresh9746]

i would have thought it would be lottie's kid considering she looks just like her...but shauna and jeff are white so it obviously not their kid, and nat would recognize her own child plus that girl is clearly asian and not half white half hispanic

[@oofx2698]

Yes! They keep pushing her specifically. There is absolutely more to her character

[@sarasamahall6672]

I think she is just a sort of known actress they decided to use as an extra to do a few episodes. She has been in a few things like Supergirl.

[@doublefeature]

it's javi guys. the actor is trans so clearly javi transitioned to be a female and lisa is javi. jk. almost anything is possible and i do believe lisa is important but it may just be to show case Lotties power dynamic w/ her cult.

[@doublefeature]

@@brynniefresh9746 i read people saying it's Lotties and Travis love child which makes more sense physically.

[@GorgonzolaChedda]

I always think any rabbits that are brought up are another symbol of Shauna's obsession with Jackie. They are Jackie's fav animal. The collection of them is just another piece of trying to have Jackie's life. The murder of the rabbits in season 1 is her hatred/realization that that life is fucking terrible.

[@TheJennzzy]

i feel like we watched completely different shows :D I'm pretty sure Lottie only saw Laura Lee because she is still schizophrenic and hasn't taken her medicine while she was at Travis' Place (or maybe at all). She was definitely the one that lifted the crane and either she doesn't know anymore because of her schizophrenia or she didn't tell Natalie because duh. Also it feeds into her whole cult narrative. And by "she wants us to" Shauna meant Jackie as others have already pointed out.

[@Vermilion.to.1]

Lottie is def lying about what happened. Anyone who saw the button wasn't working would have immediately run to hold Travis up by his legs so he wouldn't suffocate. There was ample time

The theory of Taissa having DID doesn’t make any sense, and I surely hope that’s not what the writers are going for. DID is very specific in what ages it develops- specifically young children, around 4 to 9 years old. There is a lot of overlap between DID and CPTSD symptoms. CPTSD is a very broad topic, but I believe Taissa developed coping mechanisms as a late teen that seem to manifest whenever she is under extreme stress. These don’t always make sense in real life, and I’ve really enjoyed seeing how this show is tackling these subjects and handling them with so much care. Taissa’s fear and avoidance to this trauma are bound to spiral out of control within this season, and I’m really nervous about what will happen… :o

[@aliciadolan8270]

Maybe it could be DID since she had a traumatic experience when her grandma died essentially seeing her die and seeing that man who represents death. She was around 6, maybe she has always had this. Also a theory but I think her other personality, which obviously is dark came out when she broke her teammates leg

He seems overly exited to tell his partner that he got info from the daughter of the suspects but even his partner told him to slow down and simmer. What if Callie will discover he’s a cop, try and hook up with him someway, and then blackmail him since she somehow will discover he’s only talking to her cus her parents are under investigation for Adams murder? You can tell she’s smart and very mature for her age. She’s divided with this whole situation but cares for her parents and has their backs (we saw that last episode). Just my theory !

He said he was there because he is going through a divorce with his wife, but he knows at least about the blackmail and potentially much more through Jeff if he has been confiding in him as his best friend. It would also give Shauna the opportunity to follow through on her threat to him at the reunion

the Very beginning of the first episode hooked me to this show. Ever since then I’ve been wanting to know who the girl was but now it’s starting to feel kind of cheap. Why open up on that scene with that girl if the girl wasn’t even important enough to be in the first season. I mean I still want to know who the girl is but I think it would’ve been a lot more impactful if it was one of the main girls especially Jackie since they killed and ate her anyway

Using pronunciation issues as an excuse would work if this was a book or a novel but Taissa's name is clearly mentioned and spoken out loud many times, so...either you haven't seen the show or...there must be another explanation??

[@heavyspoilers]

Let us know your thoughts on the episode below as well as your theories on what’s really happening

[@TangoNevada]

I usually don't watch "Next on" scenes at the end of shows, because they usually reveal too much, So if people don't want to know, stop reading. But I did see that the small prop plane that blew up shows back up, covered in snow,. If that is really the case, it kind of puts the Supernatural question to rest. It's making it seem like the plot from "The Endless". Which I highly recommend if you like this kind of story telling. The Endless is about a handful of self contained time loop bubbles. Once you are in one you're pretty much stuck there and everything just repeats. The cool part is some of the time loops take years before they start over and some are literally only a few seconds long and everything in between and they instantly start over and immediately repeat (Imagine the horror). So if you get stuck in the wrong one, it's a nightmare. I would highly recommend this indie, low budget film to anyone that likes Yellowjackets.

[@paisan8766]

The episode is called Edible Complex, a play of Oedipus Complex… also, a story about Thebes - a lot to unpack just from that starting point to add to what you went into, but just tacking on!

[@ace-of-teacups]

Lottie already saw weird stuff when she was a child, much before she hit her head on that window

[@nateb4543]

FINALLY! At risk of sounding like a psycho, I've been waiting for cannibalism for 11 episodes. We all knew it was gonna happen. They should've done it 2 months earlier. What better way to help your fellow survivors? Your death saves lives. I only support it in dire survival situations, strictly. Love the theory about a hit to the head opening the 3rd eye. Now i imagine Lotties first welness retreat center. Its in a strip mall where she just hits people in the head witha a 2"x 4"

[@SarahNorton-k1v]

so glad you figured out how to say tai's name

[@christopherperez6761]

I agree with the Lottie narration to Nat. Is Lottie a reliable narrator here or is she hiding something from Nat. I obviously think more will come out about the Lottie/Travis thing given no one is really talking about S1, E10 ending "who the F is Lottie Matthews?" line in the context of Nat and her sponsor. Also, there was something sinister with (I think her name is) Lisa (fork in the eye from Nat) in this episode with the whole beverage exchange. She looked at Nat as if she knew something; it was more than fear of Nat. Finally, why isn't anyone saying that Nat has ulterior motives with the Javi search? With Javi "unalive," then Nat has Travis' full attention. There is something more sinister with Nat too given she wants Javi to be "gone" but Travis hasn't given up hope. My two cents. Great review!

[@brynniefresh9746]

nah i fully think nat thinks javi is dead...she's in the camp of not believing in spiritual shit so she'd be more likely to think he'd be dead cause it's gonna be for supernatural reasons he is alive...nat didn't want him to put all of his energy in finding someone that is dead when they could be looking for food to keep them all alive

[@may.k_me]

No I don't think Nat is sinister I get that you could think that way but, Travis wasn't that distracted even when Javi was around He was still into and getting it on with Nat. I think she was genuinely scared of giving Travis false hope. The fact is they can't risk going further into the wilderness searching for Javi when the logical conclusion is that he wouldn't have made it so far on his own for 2 whole months without food and shelter.

[@craiggoodman7]

I wonder what or if the writers of the show know to what extent your videos and insights that illunimante the multiple undercurrents of the narrative of the show and perhaps semi-spoil what will eventually play out in the series...? Regardless, we watch your predictions and recaps in order to satisfy our curiosity and obsessive need to know what is going to happen! Today, the norm is instant gratification, hence everything we require now! Funny, this is all imaginary, but with the current state of our mutual Planet and sadly common human strife, these creative forms of entertainment, provide us with much needed means of escape from so-called reality...

[@raybrewer6990]

Heliptrope is toxic and can cause violet or blue tinted skin rashes. Maybe that has something to do with Lotties vision of Laura Lee and her turning violet blueish and part of why that is used to dye her cults clothes

[@shelleyseemayer]

I know a lot of people have a mixed feelings about the supernatural implications, but with this latest episode I honestly am kind of hoping there is some sort of supernatural entity like a wendigo or demon or forrest spirit making them act this way because it makes it just a tiny bit less gross if they’re possessed than if they are just so desperate, mentally unstable, and hungry they decided it was okay to eat Jackie. I know everything that’s happening CAN be explained without any supernatural intervention but it would make it spookier and little easier to forgive some of the nastier aspects of their behavior if they were being ..possessed or twisted or influenced if you get my drift. Just my own opinion, no offense intended.

[@doublefeature]

the creators have explicitly stated there is no monster in the woods. no physical entity. the whole show is about what is real and what is a reaction from trauma. i truly believe they will never confirm or deny the supernatural aspects. it's up to the viewer to decide.

[@may.k_me]

The showrunners have left that up for interpretation. Despite how nauseating the idea of eating a classmate is, what bothers me is that they technically weren't starving yet. They were almost out of food, but not quite there. People are usually at the very edge before they decide to go this route. It would be more forgivable if they had been starving. But they weren't yet.

[@doublefeature]

@@may.k_me not starving as in, on the brink of death, their bodies eating themselves starving. but they were god damn close enough, and the smell of that BBQ jackie was too much to resist for most all of them. i think that's why we see ben back away, he's the only one not taken in by the darkness of it all and thinking rationally.

[@shelleyseemayer]

@@may.k_me I agree to that. In the movie “Alive” about the rugby team that crashes in the alps, they made a point that this was a very serious matter if life and death and it was argued over for a matter of days before it was somewhat agreed upon, whereas here it’s …sort of almost like all the characters feel as if they’ve already gone so far down a certain path of unspeakable behavior they can now do whatever they want and it is alright, if that makes sense? I know they’re all very young and traumatized but this scene with its bacchanal sort of celebration flashes of mass hysteria or hallucinations or however a person takes it was beautifully done but also…really disturbing like you said because they did have some rations left and they’re not even slightly grossed out, they’re literally enjoying themselves. I guess that’s done for the shock value. Still nasty though.

[@shelleyseemayer]

@@doublefeature ah, that is kind of a little disappointing to me. I loved what the the movie Antlers did with the Wendigo legend was semi hoping for something similar but I understand both sides of the idea.

[@brianaandrews8899]

Omg they tore Jackie’s ass UP!! You did not give that enough😩😵‍💫😲 the flashes of her leftovers was WILD

[@gerardojg]

I love shows like these. I"d like to offer my 2 cents. Their time in the wilderness was transformative, clearly. I'll start with Lottie. She's the shaman of the tribe. Her visions give strength and conviction to the tribe for their survival. Hunger is the most basic and powerful drive. The shrooms (S1) revealed their inner character or soul, as I prefer to say. Shauna is the most conflicted of the group. Her private time w/ Jackie proves. Taissa is not that different but it is much deeper. The shamanic explanation is they're running away from the truth of themselves. I'd like to speak of Natalie and Travis but I've never cared to write entire essays on these boards. I'll finish by saying that Dionysus represents the madness required to survive sometimes. Great breakdown.

They were trapped in the wilderness for a year and a half. Shauna’s baby would still be a baby.

[@Kippernicus17]

How is no one else noticing Crystal is Misty!?!?!?!? Crystal isn’t at the feast, they only share dialogue when they interact with each other (they never speak to people together), Tai decides to put and end to Jackie/Shauna time after she sees Misty sword fighting an imaginary person, because she’s sees everyone else’s mental Illness. Also both personalities love show tunes and sing to poop efficiently. Adult Misty buys 2 of everything (food and drink) so she can share. Misty has no one so who does she share with? And finally how did Misty and Crystal never notice each other or interact all season 1? Crystal just magically appears when Misty looses Ben and the group ices her out. To me there is no way Crystal isn’t a second personality or imaginary friend of Misty. And Crystal was totally the pee bucket pooper, can’t confess if you weren’t there.

[@christianpasso]

In the first episode the two other new girls directly address her and tell her to stop singing and she says she isn’t singing, she’s humming. Like the theory but the other girls have been addressed and the total number has been correct since the burial scene in the first season

Okay I'm convinced this guy is not watching the show. First he didn't know how to pronounce Taissa, a name said several times in the show, now he's calling Mari "Mary", even though it's clearly pronounced Mah-ree by the characters also several times. At no point do any of the characters say the name Mary cause there is no one named Mary. I'd expect someone telling us about hidden details to have watched the show enough to know the characters names
