Warning: There are spoilers ahead for Yellowjackets season 3, episode 7, “Croak.”
Yellowjackets season 3, episode 7 ends with Shauna Sadecki (Melanie Lynskey) on the verge of confronting her stalker. Since Yellowjackets season 3, episode 2, Shauna has been convinced that she is being stalked. A mysterious tape being left for Shauna, her car brakes suddenly not working, and being trapped in a freezer have only added to her paranoia, as did the death of Lottie Matthews (Simone Kessell). The new characters introduced in Yellowjackets season 3, episode 6’s ending begin to shed light on the identity of Shauna’s stalker.
One of the new additions to Yellowjackets‘ cast of characters, Hannah (Ashley Sutton), was one of the frog scientists that the teenage survivors encountered in the wilderness. Unbeknownst to the survivors, Hannah had a tape recording some of the horrors that she experienced before her death in the wilderness, including her partner, Edwin (Nelson Franklin), being murdered by teenage Lottie (Courtney Eaton). Shauna figures out that her stalker is Hannah’s daughter, who somehow has the tape, and now Shauna is set to confront her.
Is Shauna Going To Kill Hannah’s Daughter?
All Signs Point To Yes
Based on her history, the way she ditches her fellow survivors, and the knife in her possession, Shauna will likely try to kill Hannah’s daughter. Season 3, episode 7 refers to Shauna killing Adam Martin (Peter Gadiot) in season 1, even though it turned out he was innocent and not the one blackmailing the Yellowjackets. If Shauna was able to kill him, a man she had an intimate affair with, she should have no trouble killing Hannah’s daughter out of self-preservation.

With only three episodes left in season 3, and Hilary Swank’s Yellowjackets character yet to be introduced, it stands to reason that she is playing Hannah’s daughter. In the season 3 trailers, Swank’s character is seen bloodied, running for her life down a highway, and calling an unseen character “crazy.” Those trailer moments may be from Shauna trying to kill Hannah’s daughter, who will be desperately trying to survive. If so, it will be intriguing to see how the conflict moves from the house of Hannah’s daughter to the highway.
Why Shauna Brings Out The Knife Sheath Melissa Gave Her In Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 7’s Ending
There Is More Than One Meaning To It
Shauna not only has a knife with her, but she specifically has the knife sheath that Melissa (Jenna Burgess) is seen giving her in Yellowjackets‘ 1990s timeline. Still having the sheath in her possession 25 years later indicates that Shauna has not forgotten Melissa and the feelings she once had for her. The sheath was a perfect gift for Shauna that Melissa made for her while also showing that Melissa accepted her for who she was. Keeping the sheath is arguably a way for Shauna to hold onto these feelings.
Season 3, episode 7 is the first mention of Melissa in the present-day timeline.
Shauna bringing out the sheath is also important because of Melissa’s connection to Hannah. It is still unclear how Hannah’s daughter got the tape her mother made in the wilderness, but Melissa may be the answer to this question. Taissa Turner (Tawny Cypress) mentions that Melissa and Gen (Vanessa Prasad) got close to Hannah, but that Melissa and Gen are now dead. The episode does not clarify when Melissa and Gen died, so it is possible that Melissa survived in the wilderness, brought the tape back, and prior to her death, she gave the tape to Hannah’s daughter.
Did Shauna Kill Lottie In Yellowjackets Season 3?
Walter Shares Some Concerning Evidence

Hannah’s daughter appears to be Shauna’s stalker and the one who sent the tape, but this does not necessarily mean that she killed Lottie. Shauna is the prime suspect now, especially now that Walter Tattersall (Elijah Wood) found Shauna’s DNA under Lottie’s fingernails. However, with three episodes still to go in season 3, it is unlikely that the show has already revealed Lottie’s killer. Her death and the stalking may have nothing to do with each other, just like how the blackmail and how Travis Martinez (Andrés Soto) died ended up not being related despite the characters’ suspicions.
Waiting until episode 10 to show Shauna killing Lottie would feel anticlimactic if Shauna being the killer was already cemented in episode 7.
While discussing Lottie’s shocking fate, Kessell teased that a flashback in the season 3 finale will show how Lottie really died. Waiting until episode 10 to show Shauna killing Lottie would feel anticlimactic if Shauna being the killer was already cemented in episode 7. Shauna is guilty of many things, but Lottie’s death is a crime that it seems like she actually didn’t commit. More information needs to be revealed in Yellowjackets season 3 before the truth of Lottie’s demise can be shown.
