02x07 - Burial

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Yellowjackets...

[GASPS]

[SCREAMS]

Is she in labor?

Please. Something feels weird.

[TAISSA] You lost a lot of blood.

- [SCREAMING]
- Uh, oh! Oh!

Hear No Evil!

[TRAVIS] You okay, man?

[MISTY] It's a boy.

It's you and me against the whole world.

No!

- [SHUSHING]
- No, no, no. What did you do?

What did you do?

He didn't make it.

Why do you want to up your meds?

[LOTTIE] I started having visions

for the first time in decades.

I think we found her.

We're here to rescue you.

And who the f*ck is this?

- You need to go.
- Wait.

- Misty?
- Hello, Charlotte.

- Shauna's phone.
- Lottie is running

a wellness center,

and Natalie and Misty are there.

I think you should go.

[SHAUNA] I thought Lottie
was barely coherent.

- Hmm?
- [SHAUNA] Really?

I'm sorry, have you two joined a cult

since we last saw you, or...

We are an intentional community.

What is the intention, exactly?

[NATALIE] Okay. About a week ago, I...

... had my r*fle in my mouth,

and I was gonna pull
the trigger. [CHUCKLES]

And that's when Lottie found me.

Oh, my God.

I had put walls up,

and they're finally
starting to come down

because of this place.

It isn't easy, uh,

but now I understand that

it's really what I need.

You all need it, too.

I mean, we brought some really dark sh*t

back with us from that place,

so maybe now

we can actually start dealing with it.

[CRYING SOFTLY]

Hey.

I really thought he was gonna make it.

[VAN] No, we were all
hoping for that, Tai.

But even if the baby made it

for a while,

it wouldn't change the fact
that his mother is starving.

- [SNIFFLES]
- We all are.

I just think it's time we woke up.

What?

That doesn't sound like you.

Hmm.

[SNIFFLES]

I kept surviving

all this sh*t that should've k*lled me,

and I, you know, I just...
I figured it meant something.

[SLOW, SOMBER MUSIC]

You know, like...

maybe it meant that I
had some kind of purpose

in all of this, but, uh...

Yeah.

I'm not f*cking seeing it, Tai.

You helped me see...

... hear...

and sleep,

and I would be dead without you.

I need you, Van.

I need you, too.

But I need to know why
the f*ck I'm still here.

[SIGHS]

When someone new comes in,

uh, we often let them choose a
treatment without a description,

just whatever speaks to them.

[VAN CHUCKLES] Oh, my God.

Okay, no offense to anyone, but, um,

this is just not for me.

[NATALIE] Oh, I thought the same thing.

Just give it a chance.

[VAN] Uh... Look, I'm
really glad you're alive,

and, uh, Lottie, that
you're back from Switzerland.

Switz... That was, it was
like over a decade ago.

Wow, really? I mean, uh,

good for you, 'cause...

- But I am just gonna...
- I'll take "Renewal."

Shauna?

What is calling out to you?

[SHAUNA] Um... yeah.

All my rational instincts are
just kind of, uh, screaming.

But of these?

It's just... Um, I...

"Self Care."

- I'll take "Forage."
- Van?

All right, I'll take "Forage."

Misty, that leaves you with
my... It's my favorite therapy.

It's "Guidance."

We're gonna move outside
and get you started.

But before we do,

you can text this landline number

to whomever you think might need it.

You're gonna be giving up your phones.

[CHUCKLES] Oh, you're kidding, right?

Our devices leave us c*ptive
to other people's priorities.

That's...

Mm.

Can't really argue with that, actually.

- Right? Yeah?
- Yeah, and I hate this f*cking thing, so...

[MOOING]

[BLEATING IN DISTANCE]

Wait.

This is Self Care?

Yeah, I was expecting like a
massage or maybe a mud bath,

with some self-reflective
questions while I, um...

Um, oh.

What are you doing?

- Here.
- [KID BLEATS]

- Here, just take him.
- No!

Self Care means taking care of the goat

for the rest of the day,

and thus experiencing all
the personal discoveries

and sacrifices that
go along with doing so.

[SHAUNA] Sacrifices?

Hmm. Okay, I understand.

So, you want me to spend the whole day

looking after this goat
and getting all attached,

and then at the end of
the day you're gonna ask me

to slit its f*cking throat or something?

No. No, thank you. I decline.

[EXASPERATED EXHALE]

If you opt out of the treatment,

the alternative is mucking
out the barn all day.

It's up to you.

Fine, fine.

Just...

- Got him?
- Yeah.

Here you go.

His name is Bruce, by the way.

[BLEATS]

[PHONE RINGING]

Paul?

Hey, there you are.

[LOW-KEY MUSIC]

But...

he isn't ready.

What? Are you all right?

We need to talk.

Sit down, Ben.

No.

[BEN SCOFFS] Why do people
always say that anyway?

Who was on the phone?

Well, I'm going to sit.

[BEN] Paul, what the f*ck is going on?

Hey. You're scaring me.

I'm scared, too.

About what? I don't understand.

I know.

I have to go.

[SNIFFLES]

Where do you think you are, Ben?

You had to have known you
couldn't stay here forever.

This was never meant
to be your hiding place.

It doesn't matter.

What matters now

is that you aren't welcome here anymore.

No, Paul. Hey, wait.
Wait. What did I do?

You didn't do anything. It's just...

It's just time.

It's just time.

I love you.

We all love you, Ben.

Paul. Paul, wait.

Paul. Paul!

Paul!

Coach.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

[PULSING MUSIC]

I'm gonna be just fine.

And if you're not
comfortable with nudity,

we have clean swimsuits here.

So when you're ready, just climb in

and close the door.

[MISTY] So, I'll just be inside

that water-coffin in the dark?

- All by myself?
- [LISA] Mm-hmm.

I, uh... [CHUCKLES]

I thought this was
supposed to be "Guidance."

The most authentic
guidance comes from within.

[MISTY] Oh, sure. Sure.

Uh, my soul holds the
wisdom of the ages.

- [LISA] Bingo.
- Good news. I get it. [CHUCKLES]

I mean, look at me.

I've, um, I've been here
a while. I'm all tuned in.

I'm just not, uh, entirely sure that,

that this is absolutely necessary.

Well, you have been here
for less than hours,

and you haven't engaged in
any actual therapies yet.

[MISTY] Okay. [CHUCKLES] Fine.

Um, but could I just
use the ladies' first?

Um, I would hate for my bladder

to guide me into peeing
in that thing. [CHUCKLES]

Yeah.

- Yeah, just, uh, right where you came in.
- Awesome.

- See you in a minute.
- See you then.

[SLOW, SINISTER MUSIC]

[GROANS]

[GEN] I just keep thinking,

what if she'd gotten to a hospital?

[AKILAH] What hospital, Gen?

Look, we did the best that we could.

I mean, Misty? She was amazing.

There's no way I could've
kept my sh*t together

like she did at the end.

[GEN] Yeah, that's true.
She didn't even flinch.

[MARI] Well, that makes sense.

You guys, I think she's even
more psychotic than we thought.

I'm pretty sure she did
something to Crystal.

[AKILAH] Like... What
do you mean? k*lled her?

- [GEN] Why would she k*ll her only friend?
- [AKILAH] Yeah.

[MARI] Um, I don't know,
because she's Misty?

I mean, God, she tried
to poison Coach Scott

when she was supposedly
in love with him.

And think about it.

Now that the snow has stopped,
wouldn't you think that

she'd be out there
looking for her friend?

That is, if Crystal really
did just get lost in the snow.

[MISTY] Thanks. Um...

Thank you all for
gathering. [CLEARS THROAT]

I know that we're all still
very sad about the baby.

It was a... a terrible,

extremely sad and-and
tragic thing, but...

we can't let it cloud our minds.

The snow has stopped, and
we need to go out there

and we need to look for Crystal...

... because she could
still be out there.

Alive.

Misty's right.

If Javi could survive for
a few months out there,

then maybe Crystal could
make it through a few days.

But what if the
wilderness, like, took her?

What if it took the baby, too?

Then maybe it'll give us something back.

What?

Like it made the blizzard stop.

[GEN] That's the trade?

Two people dead for
a... a break in the snow?

- God, that sucks.
- [LOTTIE] No, it doesn't work like that.

It doesn't trade or haggle. It...

The wilderness, it hears us.

It gave us what we wanted. Shauna lived.

Might do the same for Crystal.

We hear the wilderness, and it hears us.

[ALL] We hear the
wilderness, and it hears us.

- [GEN] I hope they find Crystal alive.
- Yeah.

But, like,

if they find her and she's not...

I mean, that wouldn't be the worst
thing that could happen, right?

You mean,

- we could...
- Well, I'm-I'm not saying I want to.

I just...

You know, if that's the
situation, then, um...

It would be disrespectful to
the wilderness to waste it.

- Right.
- Yeah.

Exactly.

But still, I hope that she's okay.

Oh, same. No question.

You guys go ahead. We're

- Crystal!
- Crystal!

[AKILAH] Crystal?

You were the one who
knew where Javi was.

I didn't know.

- And yet you still found him.
- [MISTY] Crystal!

Maybe you can find Crystal, too.

Yeah, I don't think so.

Ever since I started doing your circles

and whatever,

I don't sleepwalk anymore.

And that other me,

the one who maybe knew where Javi was...

... I think she's gone.

She's not gone.

And that's a good thing, Tai.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY] Write this down.

- So, with my teachings...
- Lottie.

Lottie. [CHUCKLING] Hey.

Hey. So look, I-I get that
this is all just a warm-up

for whatever's gonna
happen here, but can we just

cut through the bullshit?

Because me painting this
whole building with a f*cking

makeup brush isn't exactly solving

- all my problems, you know?
- [LOTTIE] Okay.

So tell me what your problems are.

I'm sleepwalking again.

I need help.

- That other you...
- Mm-hmm.

... she always had a deep
connection to the wilderness,

and she had wisdom, too.

That other me, she
wants to hurt my family.

She may not want to. She just
doesn't want to be suppressed.

She's still a part of you, Tai.

She will always be a part of you.

[SLOW, HAUNTING MUSIC]

[MISTY] Hey.

You okay?

Shouldn't you be in therapy?

Shouldn't you?

[STAMMERS] I'm caring for myself
and a goat, which is just tied...

f*ck.

God, it must've chewed
through the rope. f*ck.

[SMACKS LIPS] f*ck.

Damn it.

Oh, look, I have, um, I have some bait.

- [SHAUNA] Oh.
- I've been kind of hoarding food,

in case they decide to
enforce calorie restriction

to induce out-of-body experiences.

[SCOFFS] My blood
sugar can't handle that.

- Okay.
- Goat?

Goat? Um, did it have a name?

It... Bruce. It was Bruce.

- Bruce. Bruce?
- Bruce?

- Bruce?
- [SINGSONGY] Bruce?

Oh, God. I can't believe this.

Why do I give one single
sh*t about this goat

when Lottie's g*ons are
just gonna make me k*ll him?

Well, if it helps, you can just
pretend it's your arty-farty lover.

[CHUCKLES] You seemed pretty
quick to get stabby with him.

Oh, it's not a criticism.

Misty, that... He-he att*cked me.

I-I know. I'm just joshing you.

Well, I don't want
to be joshed about it.

I'm not like you, okay?

I don't... I don't think
of k*lling as a, as a joke.

Hey, news flash,

I am the only person
who took your k*lling

with the seriousness that it required.

I fixed that for you, and...

[SCOFFS] ... you're never even grateful.

I'm grateful, okay?

I really am very grateful

that your hobby seems to be

figuring out how to be
the perfect serial k*ller.

Why does everyone
keep saying that to me?

That... Well, because it's a fact.

Well, you're not that innocent, either.

I know that, Misty.

Do you think I don't know that?

[BRUCE BLEATING]

Oh, my God.

There he is.

Oh, my God. Here is this dummy.

Come here.

Hey. Bruce.

Oh, my God. [SIGHS]

Where'd you think you were going, huh?

Not to a Mensa meeting, that's for sure.

If you think I'm gonna
carry you all day,

you are delusional as well as dumb.

Lisa's looking for you.

- You're supposed to be in the t*nk.
- Oh. Right.

I just couldn't figure out
how to lock the door properly.

[MISTY] Crystal, can you hear us?

[AKILAH] Crystal?

[MISTY] If you can hear
us, just say something!

[CRYING]

Hey, are you okay?

I thought that I was ready for this,

but I am just... I'm so afraid.

I'm so afraid that when we find her,

what if she looks just like Jackie did?

You know, all... all blue and stiff,

a little song frozen in her throat.

I mean, after seeing the
baby, like, I just, I just,

I don't think that I can do that.

Okay, no, I-I think we understand
that this is hard for you.

You should probably just go back.

Yeah. Sure. You go on back, and
we'll keep looking for your friend.

- [MISTY SOBBING]
- Just go.

That's really kind of
you guys. Thank you.

- Yup.
- [SIGHS] Okay.

[MARI] Crystal?

[AKILAH] Crystal?

I'm not gonna let them eat you, Kristen.

Oh, sh*t. [GRUNTS]

[TENSE, DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[GROANING]

Jackie?

I really need you right now.

[SNIFFLING] Please.

[CRYING]

Um, Todd.

Hey.

So this dumb idiot ate some rope.

- Can someone look at it?
- The animal is currently under your care.

What? [GROANS]

Well, does it look okay to you?

I-I think it's acting weird,
but also, I don't know.

All the insight required
resides within the self.

The kid's care is
entwined with your own.

What did you say?

The kid. The baby goat?

Your care is entwined with his.

Well, this is me caring for it.

[GROANS] Look, it ate a bunch of rope,

and part of me thinks that that
might even be fine for goats,

but I don't know because
you people took my phone.

So I'm just going off of
stuff I remember from cartoons,

and that's a huge problem.

Because it is one thing
if I s*ab this goat later,

but there's no f*cking way

it's dying while I'm
supposed to be watching it.

So someone is going to
make sure this goat is okay.

Right now.

Plea...

Are you kidding?

I'm gonna take it up with her.

Lottie.

Uh, my Self Care ends
right here, right now, okay?

I don't give a sh*t what
the big lesson is gonna be.

[SNIFFLES]

I'm not gonna k*ll this f*cking goat.

Okay? f*ck you.

You don't have to k*ll the goat.

[CRYING] Wait. Really?

- I really don't?
- Really.

Oh, Bruce. [SOBS]

[LOTTIE] I find it
gives a person clarity

to have to care for
something so innocent.

I'm not crying about
the goat. [SNIFFLES]

I don't really know, um,
what's happening right now.

Um, I think it's just that
I've always kept my daughter,

you know, Callie, like, at arm's length.

I think just out of
fear that she would...

die, I guess.

Or maybe that she was never
even real to begin with.

I don't know. I try to tell myself

it's okay.

That I'm safe to...

... to think of her as-as mine,

you know, and to just be her mom.

But I think something is broken, Lottie.

I just can't do it.

[SIGHS]

[LISA] Please get in this time.

What if I need to unlock it?

You won't, because there is no lock.

Look, it's super safe.

No catch, I promise.

Truly, no one cares
that you are in the t*nk

or here at all.

I will savor every moment of it,

I don't f*cking care, Misty.

But when the rest of us get saved,

I will tell the whole
world of our love story.

Every last bit of it. I will...

I'll tell them even worse, too.

And I'll-I'll tell your parents

You showed up on my door.

- I wasn't going to tell you at all.
- Why the f*ck not?

Because we don't know each other.

What would you have done if I'd
contacted you out of the blue?

Send me flowers through your office,

or message me on f*cking Facebook?

I don't know. But...

Van...

Oh, see? I don't want
to have to see this face.

[MISTY] Van! Tai!

Come on.

Act f*cking normal.

What? Van, wait.

Even more of them are here now.

Shauna, Van, Taissa.

This is proof of what I told you.

That this "It" is sending
your old friends to you.

[LOTTIE] Well, not just
to me, but to each other.

This is what it wants...

us to be together.

For what purpose?

Uh, well, them being here...

I feel it in my body.

It's like, it's like something...

that's deep and primal.

I haven't felt that in
years, and it feels...

... wonderful.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

And yet I also feel f*cking terrified.

Charlotte, when does
self-repression serve us?

Weren't you just saying as much
to one of these old friends?

It could be that this reunion

strikes a primal chord with
you because in the past,

when you were with these
other women, you were free.

You were your truest,

most authentic self.

What is standing in the way
of you embracing that again?

We hurt each other.

People d*ed.

Tell me, is there anything
of value in this life

that doesn't come with risk?

Or loss?

- Or consequence?
- What?

Are you saying what
I think you're saying?

You tell me. Does a hunt that
has no v*olence feed anyone?

- [KNOCK AT DOOR]
- [LISA] Charlotte?

[WOMEN VOCALIZING EERILY]

Charlotte, are you in there?

[INTENSE, HAUNTING MUSIC]

Oh.

[EXHALES]

[NATALIE] Well, I just
wanted us all to gather

and talk about what we learned.

I hope you all got something
unexpected out of today.

I mean, I know we're
not the types of people

to just buy into bullshit...

and this place definitely
has some bullshit,

I won't deny that... but I just
think it's more about discovery

and finding something within yourself

that you never really knew was there.

You know? Uh...

Okay, so, who wants to get started?

[EERIE VOCALIZING]

Shauna?

Mm, to be honest, I've kind
of already gotten started.

- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- [NATALIE] Where did that come from?

- From Van.
- Oh, you narc.

I usually don't like tequila,
but this is pretty good.

You guys, the whole
point of your therapies

was so you would get comfortable with...

- [SHAUNA] Oh, Nat.
- ... and be more present.

[SHAUNA] I... Come on.

Natalie Scatorccio is telling
us to not f*ck around? Like...

come on. Let's just...

let's just hang out a bit.

Like, just for a minute.

- I learned a lot.
- Okay. Fine. [EXHALES]

No.

Geez.

I lost my goat, but I found him again.

We met online, so, you

- Does he know?

- [MISTY] Thank you.
- What does, uh, what does he do?

Oh, he doesn't have a job-job.

He's dedicated to his
passionate pursuit of knowledge.

Nice. So, where does he go to prison?

[LAUGHTER]

- Nat slept with Kevyn Tan.

Well, he wasn't Goth when we f*cked.

[CHUCKLING] Um, do...
So that first summer,

do you guys remember when we were...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. "That
first summer"? [CHUCKLES]

What, do you want to casually reminisce

about our time in f*cking oblivion?

[MISTY] No, you don't know
what I was going to ask.

How about we never find out?

You know what, Misty? Maybe just later.

Okay.

[NATALIE] Actually, I have
a kind of weird question,

but I've been thinking
about it a lot lately.

How much...
