Lottie’s phrases to Van, and Van’s overwhelmingly relieved response, are very important. Van instructed Taissa that she was identified with terminal most cancers, however the remainder of the group has no concept that she’s dying. For Lottie to point to Van that she’ll quickly see the outcomes of the wilderness entity getting what it “needs,” Lottie was both knowledgeable of Van’s analysis earlier than the remainder of the group or she actually is attuned to the unexplainable.
Contemplating “Yellowjackets” is constantly subverting puzzle field present tropes by permitting the supernatural and the tragically ordinary to exist as one and the identical, there are a number of instructions the present might go along with Van’s story. Possibly Lottie is a conduit for the wilderness entity, or perhaps she actually is sick within the head. Possibly Lottie knew Van was dying as a result of she had earlier information, or perhaps she gave her the ultimate look as a result of Van has a historical past of being one among Lottie’s most loyal followers and she or he needed an ally earlier than she was shipped off to a psych ward.
Regardless of what’s actually taking place, it would not change the truth that Van nonetheless very a lot believes in Lottie and the facility of the wilderness. This has birthed the very fashionable fan concept that it was Van who despatched the postcards to all the survivors within the hopes of a reunion, probably working in tandem with Lottie to get all of them collectively as soon as once more. When Van tells Taissa that she solely has months left to reside, making a sacrifice definitely appears like a last-ditch effort by Van to cheat loss of life as soon as once more.
Is Van a villain or somebody nonetheless working in survival mode? I assume we’ll have to attend till subsequent season to know for positive.
