Yellowjackets Episode 7 opens with the introduction of Kodi, a mysterious-macho forest guide played by Joel Mchale, along with Hannah and Edwin, two frog scientists played by Ashley Sutton and Nicholas Franklin. We previously met Hannah and Edwin towards the end of Episode 6, when they stumbled upon the Yellowjackets in the woods, following the death and ritual for Coach Ben.  This foundation of introducing new characters and having them stumble upon the girls lays the groundwork for many questions that Yellowjackets fans have had since the inception of this show while setting up another compelling narrative for the past timeline. I discussed this briefly before in my initial review for Yellowjackets Season 3 , but I have enjoyed how the writers are deciding to showcase new faces to further drive the plot of the main girls we have known from the beginning. Whether this is in the present or past timeline, it opens up new sides to these individuals and helps viewers, like myself, dive into the psyche of these characters in a new way: it highlights the explored and unexplored the trauma from the wilderness within these women.

As mentioned before, one of my favorite parts of this episode is that it poses a question many long-time viewers, myself included, have had about the past timeline: How would the girls react to the potential of being rescued? Will they accept this possibility, or have they descended so far into madness that they have accepted the wilderness as their home? This is very quickly answered by Lottie when she swiftly takes an axe to Edwin’s skull.

We get to see a crack in the girls’ descent into madness when Tai and Van discover the camping equipment that belongs to the scientists and their guide in a stand-out scene to me. The hope that comes with the prospect of being rescued along with Van’s first instinct being to call her mom reminds viewers, at such a horrific time like this, that they truly are just kids. While we have seen them do truly terrible things throughout the duration of this show, these small, emotional details highlight how the Yellowjackets were just trying to survive by whatever means necessary and make it back home.  Melanie Lynskey as Shauna in Yellowjackets, episode 7, season 3, streaming on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, 2025.

As the past timeline goes on a hunt for escape, the present timeline continues to investigate Lottie’s untimely death along with revealing more about the infamous tape: it was recorded by Hannah when she stumbled upon the girls in their past timeline. This show continuously ties together the past and present with details like this while expanding on their own stories. Whether it’s done subtly or unsubtly, it's written moments like this that I have begun to recognize how much thought was put into this creation and I appreciate that everything is connected. While each timeline may be very busy in its own way, everything comes full circle to the Yellowjackets and their time in the wilderness and this season continues to show these women how your past will haunt you.

With a strong closure of the present timeline in this episode before jumping back to the past, Van’s cancer takes a turn for the worse while highlighting her ability to get out of dying: “We never actually cheated death. It was always an even trade.” The dramatic cut from Van’s dream sequence to Other Tai standing over her literally and metaphorically poses the question of which Tai has been in control, which will be an interesting for viewers to see play out.  Episode 7 of Yellowjackets Season 3 is a strong addition to this season and the show overall. By answering questions that fans have had for years while extending the interesting and complex narratives taking place in both timelines, this episode opens the doors for an exciting future with new questions to be answered and explored, especially within the last three ventures into this season.  Rating: ★★★★☆ Yellowjackets Season 3 is now streaming on Paramount Plus with new episodes airing every Friday. About Yellowjackets Premiere Date: February 15, 2025 Episode Count:  10 Executive Producer/Showrunner: Ashley Lyle Created by: Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson Directed by: Jennifer Morrison Production:   Lionsgate Television, Beer Christmas Ltd. Showtime Networks Distribution:   Showtime and Paramount Plus Cast:   Melanie Lynskey, Sophie Nélisse, Tawny Cypress, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Christina Ricci Synopsis: YELLOWJACKETS is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.

UPDATE: Severance has been renewed for Season 3 on March 21st. Severance appears to be undergoing significant creative changes heading into Season 3. Showrunners Chris Black and Mark J. Friedman, along with producer Amanda Overton and supervising producer Anna Ouyang Moench, will not be returning for the new season. Series creator Dan Erickson and executive producer Ben Stiller are set to move forward with two new showrunners and an entirely new writers' room.

Jorne ( The Walking Dead ) – Executive Producer, Showrunner Ezra Claytan Daniels ( Doom Patrol ) – Co-Executive Producer Sean Clements ( Kevin Can F*** Himself ) – Co-Executive Producer Lauren Bello ( The Sandman ) – Producer Aiyana Kim White – Executive Story Editor While there is still no official word on Season 3 being greenlit, Ben Stiller revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter  last month that they were assembling the writers' room and hoping to shorten the wait between the seasons. The gap between Season 1 and Season 2 stretched to three years, which felt especially torturous after that nerve-wracking Season 1 finale. However, considering Stiller’s comments and the spike in audience numbers Severance gained during Season 2, I’m hopeful the wait this time will be much shorter — hopefully less than three years.

The Severance Season 2 finale is finally here, and honestly, it’s one of the best episodes of television I’ve seen in a long time. Not only does it deliver some long-awaited answers — yes, we finally learn what the Cold Harbor is, what those baby goats were all about, and what Mark was really doing with the numbers — but it also hits harder emotionally than I expected. RELATED STORY: ‘Severance’ Season 3 Adds Two New Showrunners and Gathers Its Writers’ Room Adam Scott in Severance . © Apple TV+ The episode starts strong with Innie Mark finding out what’s really going on from Devon and Cobel, and right after that, we get one of the most intriguing and emotionally charged scenes of the entire series. For the first time, Innie Mark and Outie Mark communicate directly through a camera, and it’s absolutely fascinating. Adam Scott is phenomenal here. He effortlessly shows us two versions of the same man that are similar in so many ways, yet completely shaped by different experiences and memories. You can feel the conflict, the desperation, and this growing but painful understanding between them. They argue, they try to reason with each other, but ultimately, they can’t fully connect. What complicates it all is love because, by this point, it’s not just about what they want, it’s about what they need. One of them loves Gemma, the other loves Helly. And for either of them to be happy, the other has to lose the person they care about most. It’s brutal because neither of them is wrong. They’re both right in their own way, and yet, they’re completely trapped in a situation where there is no real winning. You can feel that weight in every word, every look exchanged between them. And what makes it even worse is knowing that, in the end, Innie Mark is doomed either way. He is there for one purpose, to finish all 25 files. Once that’s done, his existence won’t matter because Lumon won’t need him anymore. He’s just a tool to them, disposable the moment his task is complete. Helly, meanwhile, has a tense, uncomfortable, and honestly disturbing conversation with Jame Eagan. He admits he doesn't love Helena. Not really. He’s disappointed in her because he can’t see Kier in her. He even confesses that he slept with countless women, trying to create an heir who carried Kier’s fire. That confession is interesting, not just because of what it says about him, but because of what it says about Lumon. At its core, it really is a cult worshiping Kier, obsessing over legacy, and twisting family into something transactional. It raises so many disturbing questions about the women he used. Who were they? Were they employees, trapped in Lumon’s web? Were they brainwashed, like Helena? How many lives did he ruin chasing some imagined version of Kier in his bloodline? Jame then tells Helly that he finally found what he was looking for, and it’s her . Not Helena, not any of his other children, but Helly . Because Helly is fierce, rebellious, decisive, and willing to burn everything down to get what she wants. In his eyes, that makes her the true Eagan. No matter how hard she fights it, she’s still his . Still part of this twisted family and their cult-like legacy. Back at Lumon, the tension builds beautifully. There is a sweet, almost heartbreaking little moment between Helly and Innie Mark. You know it cannot end well, but watching them joke, two people who only exist because of the worst corporate invention imaginable, is somehow so human it hurts. Then Cold Harbor looms over everything like a death sentence. No matter what they do, it feels like the end is inevitable. Adam Scott and Britt Lower in Severance . © Apple TV+ Mark finally makes his choice. He wants to save Gemma. Helly gives him that final push, and the plan is set. But then comes the most absurd, nerve-wracking, Severance-style celebration possible: Mr. Milchick’s awkward little stand-up routine and a literal band playing after Mark finishes the file. It is so awkward and surreal that it is perfect. That is when the panic kicks in because Mark has to get out, but Milchick is hovering like a vulture. I was practically holding my breath. Thankfully, Helly figures out a way to distract Milchick, giving Mark the opening he needs. Drummond, meanwhile, is preparing for one of the most disturbing moments of the episode: a baby goat sacrifice meant to guide Gemma’s soul to the Kier's door , according to Lumon’s twisted cult beliefs. Lorne (Gwendoline Christie) looks absolutely devastated, but she still forces herself to go through the motions. You can see how broken she is, how far gone they all are, trapped in this system where they are ordered to perform acts that horrify them. Just as Lorne is about to kill the goat, Mark makes his move. He tries to break into the Black Hall using the elevator, but the sacrifice room is just across from it, and the sound of him thudding into the door interrupts the ritual. That is when everything breaks into chaos. Drummond lunges at Mark, and a brutal fight breaks out. Mark is completely outmatched, and for a moment, it really looks like Drummond might kill him right there. But then Lorne, driven by pure desperation and rage, finally snaps. She steps in and saves Mark, almost killing Drummond herself. It goes to show how they are not employees. They are prisoners, forced to perform the same cruel or meaningless tasks over and over again, like machines slowly breaking down. Gwendoline Christie in Severance . © Apple TV+ Mark forces Drummond into the elevator at gunpoint, but right as they are between floors, the worst happens: the switch. That elevator scene was everything. Mark holds the gun to Drummond’s neck, pure rage and desperation in his eyes. Then the switch happens. Innie Mark disappears, and Outie Mark is back. The terror, the confusion, and the horror all play out on Adam Scott’s face, and it is absolutely masterful. Covered in blood and still in shock, Mark stumbles through the halls until he finds Gemma. Her innie is being forced to unmake a crib, cold and emotionless, while Lumon watches for any reaction. There is nothing. No sadness, no hesitation. At first, Gemma is startled, staring at this blood-covered man who just barged into her world. Then something shifts. Despite everything, she chooses to believe him. She chooses him. That choice says everything. Her miscarriage and her infertility did not break her. But her love for Mark got through the severance barrier. Dichen Lachman and Adam Scott in Severance . © Apple TV+ What frustrated me about this episode was Innie Mark staying behind after getting Gemma out of the floor. It’s the Orpheus and Eurydice story all over again: He looked back, saw Helly, and it stopped him from leaving. And while I understand why he made that choice, it still feels like a decision driven more by the need to keep Mark on the severed floor for season three. Adam Scott in Severance . © Apple TV+ Then there is Helly and Dylan. Not only did they stop Milchick, but they somehow recruited the band in the process. It feels like the seeds of a revolution are finally being planted. Maybe season three is the reckoning we have been waiting for, or maybe Severance will surprise us again. It always does. After a rather chaotic season with some pacing problems, Severance Season 2 sticks the landing. The finale delivers everything: a brutal fight, emotional reunions, philosophical gut punches, and somehow still leaves us wanting more. It finally gives us some of the answers we have been waiting for, but at the same time, it leaves just as many questions hanging in the air. There is a sense of relief in getting closure on certain mysteries, but the world of Severance still feels full of secrets we are nowhere near uncovering. Rating: ★★★★½ Severance Season 2 is now streaming on Apple TV+.

This daring experiment in “work-life balance” is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work … and of himself. In season two, Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe.
