Shauna and Lottie

Can it really be considered healthy if at one point in your past, one beat the other to a bloody pulp as the rest of the your friends watched? In the aftermath of losing Jackie and her baby, Shauna is angry and devestated.

It is not entirely clear what the extent of Shauna and Lottie's relationship was before the plane crashed. Perhaps they were not more than friends through being teammates, as Shauna's biggest friendship portrayed in the pilot is shown to be between her and Jackie.

But, in season two, as tensions rise between the girls, it also creates a newfound sense of conflict between Lottie and Shauna.

Shauna has hit her limit of what she can stand between the freezing winter and the losses, and needs a way to express her anger. It certainly does not help that Shauna had conflicting issues with Lottie as Lottie seemed a little too excited in Shauna's view about Shauna's unborn baby.

In season two, Lottie becomes God-like to select members of the group, and follows through on that mentality by offering herself as a sacrifice to Shauna's anger. Shauna's actions cause Lottie to be very injured for a while, and also becomes the catalyst for the group's first hunting ritual.

As adults, Shauna and Lottie do not reference that incident, and a discussion about questioning how much from that time they have repressed could be part of the answer for that. While the teen timeline shows the events that occurred, as adults, they question just how much they truly remember.
