Yellowjackets: Ranking The Most Complicated Relationships (So Far)

Natalie and Travis

In the adult timeline, Taissa, Shauna, and Natalie tease the toxicity of Travis and Natalie's adult relationship. Constantly on-again-off-again, and more often than not, high or drunk, Natalie and Travis could never find real consistency in their relationship. But, one of the biggest conflicts in their dynamic was never determined until "The Chosen."

When Natalie picks the Queen of Hearts, and is expected to die for the group, she stands tall in front of Shauna's blade. Shauna's hesitation is all Travis needs to tackle Shauna and beg Natalie to run. Except, when Natalie is immediately chased after by the rest of the group, Travis sends his brother Javi out to help her, and it was ultimately the decision that changed everything.

Javi's race to Natalie did save her life, but her life was saved at the expense of his own. When the rest of the girls arrive back to the cabin, Travis is forced to face the devastating reality that his brother died saving Natalie, and he lost someone he loved anyway.

Javi's sacrifice could not go to waste for the survivors, but Natalie and Travis could probably never be left alone together afterward without Javi's death weighing heavily on both of their minds. How could they be together knowing it only happened because of Javi's death? How could they break up when Javi died for them?

Travis and Natalie's pact to never take their own lives played into Natalie's devastation and confusion surrounding how Travis died, as she is more certain than anything that Travis did not kill himself. Ultimately, Natalie was right, and Travis' death was a tragic accident.
