#Yellowjackets Season 1 Ending Explained: Iced Out

Surprisingly, the Yellowjackets’ 25th school reunion goes off mostly without a hitch, and it’s not where most of the episode’s action happens. We do get to see the core four make a killer entrance, though, as they slo-mo stride in, dressed to the nines, while The Offspring’s “Keep ‘Em Separated” plays.

The reunion mostly centers Allie (Tonya Cornelisse), the team member who wasn’t on the plane the day of the crash because of her broken leg. 25 years later, Allie seems to over-identify with the Yellowjackets, and pays tribute to them with a slideshow set to Enya’s “Only Time.” She also makes Shauna and prom king Jeff (Warren Kole) dance, since that’s what she thinks Jackie would have wanted. When no one’s looking, Shauna threatens Randy (Jeff Holman), but he doesn’t seem to take her promise that she’ll kill him if he tells anyone about the blackmail scheme seriously.

During the reunion, Nat talks to Kevyn (Alex Wyndham) in the hall while looking idly at a shrine to the Yellowjackets that surely includes some theory-driving clues I haven’t yet been able to glimpse on freeze frame. She admits for the first time that Travis probably killed himself, and now that we’ve seen what we went through during Doomcoming, we’re starting to better understand the trauma he carried home.
