Yellowjackets: Ranking The Most Complicated Relationships (So Far)
Shauna and Jackie
Even though Jackie dies at the end of the first season, very early into the group's 19 months in the Wilderness, Shauna and Jackie's dynamic remains one of the most complicated in the show.
Shauna may have loved Jackie, but she was still sleeping with her best friend's boyfriend. Shauna, potentially having spent years feeling like she was in Jackie's shadow, thrived as she grew into her own in the Wilderness, stepping up in unexpected ways.
However, Shauna and Jackie's final altercation resulted in Shauna undergoing such guilt and grief that she was never truly able to move on. As an adult, Shauna is haunted by hallucinations of Jackie's ghost because she was never able to move on from the horror she felt surrounding her role in Jackie's death.
In season two, audiences learn where Shauna's hallucinations of Jackie's ghost began, and how Shauna was the one to give the rest of the group permission to devour Jackie's body.
Jackie and Shauna's relationship always had an extra layer of complications to it, and regardless of whether Jackie was alive or dead, she had an impact on Shauna that no one else was capable of replicating.
