Yellowjackets season 3 finale reveals pit girl and sets up survivor showdown

Yellowjackets ends season 3 with shocking deaths, major reveals, and a new conflict brewing among the surviving women.

The Season 3 finale of Yellowjackets brings long-running mysteries to a head and sets the stage for a brutal confrontation among the survivors. In the past timeline, Lottie (Courtney Eaton) manipulates the group into another deadly ritual, claiming the Wilderness is angry after a mysterious mass animal die-off. It’s later revealed she staged the deaths with Akilah (Nia Sondaya), who disappears after confronting her. The episode leaves open the possibility that Lottie may have killed her to protect her influence.

One major reveal confirms the identity of the long-speculated “Pit Girl.” During a manipulated card draw meant to select the next sacrifice, Mari (Alexa Barajas) is chosen instead of Hannah. Mari, wearing a white gown, is chased through the snow and falls into a spiked trap—mirroring the show’s opening scene and confirming her as the infamous victim.

Meanwhile, Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) quietly works to repair a satellite radio. With help from Hannah, she activates the device and makes contact, hinting that Season 4 could finally bring rescue for the stranded teens.

In the present timeline, Adult Lottie (Simone Kessell) dies after Callie pushes her down a staircase during a disturbing encounter. Callie had discovered Lottie praying in a candlelit basement and accusing her of being the “child of the Wilderness.”

Elsewhere, Taissa (Tawny Cypress) symbolically embraces her darker side by consuming a piece of Van after her death. She later meets with Misty (Christina Ricci), and the two agree that Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) is the root of their group’s chaos—and must be stopped.

With Lottie gone and tensions at a boiling point, Yellowjackets is poised for a violent internal reckoning in Season 4. Though Showtime hasn’t confirmed a renewal, the stage is set for a deadly fallout.
