Yellowjackets Teased Season 3’s Big Character Death A Long Time Ago

This article contains spoilers through Yellowjackets season 3 episode 4.

Yellowjackets’ most recent death has surprised fans and the cast alike. Season 3 episode 4 “12 Angry Girls and 1 Drunk Travis” ended with the reveal that adult Lottie (Simone Kessell) had been found dead in the present at the foot of some creepy looking stairs. We don’t yet know how she died, whether it was death by suicide or someone pushed her down the stairs, but if you left the episode feeling like this scene was oddly familiar, you aren’t the only one.

Fans have noticed that the stairs we see Lottie’s body near at the end of this episode bear a shocking resemblance to the stairs that teen Lottie (Courtney Eaton) sees herself on during her baptism by Laura Lee (Jane Widdop) in season 1. In the episode “Saints,” Lottie agrees to let Laura Lee baptize her after she starts having visions, hoping for some sort of outside force to help guide what she’s seeing. While she’s under the water, she finds herself in some sort of industrial looking hallway, seemingly underground. Eventually she approaches a set of stairs lined and illuminated with candles.

As she comes back to consciousness, she sees Laura Lee’s face surrounded by light and an explosion in the sky behind her. We already know that this foreshadowed Laura Lee’s death in the airplane later that season, but now it seems as though this moment also foreshadowed Lottie’s eventual death.

Did Lottie die on the same stairs that she had a vision of when Laura Lee baptized her..— vivi – yellowjackets spoilers! (@starlitgf) February 28, 2025

For a while it seemed like this was just another one of Lottie’s visions. However, now it seems like too much of a coincidence to ignore.

In the vision, teen Lottie is wearing a white nightgown. Adult Lottie was also wearing a white nightgown when she died. Teen Lottie is on a staircase lined with candles, a makeshift altar. Adult Lottie is lying at the foot of a similar altar, all of the candles lining the stairs melted and blown out.

It’s crazy how every small detail is for a reason in this show… like lottie seeing the place she died when she was younger… this is fucking crazy #YellowJackets pic.twitter.com/EoWrRSAs7w— MJ
