Yellowjackets: Ranking The Most Complicated Relationships (So Far)

Jackie and The Team

Initially looked at as the celebrated Yellowjackets Team Captain, Jackie quickly falls from grace upon crashing in the Canadian Wilderness. She is more concerned about helping Shauna out of the crash, and in doing so willingly leaves a struggling and stuck Van to die.

Jackie is the last of the group to recognize that help may not be coming for them after all, because if help were coming, wouldn't the team have been rescued already? However, things become a real problem once the girls find the cabin.

As everyone begins to find their roles amongst the group in hunting, butchering, cooking, and more, Jackie is the main one not taking on any chores or responsibilities, and the other girls begin to notice. and grow irritated with her for it.

During Doomcoming, Jackie triggers another set of issues between herself and the others when she decides to have sex with Travis, when everyone knows there is something already happening between Travis and Natalie.

While Jackie is certainly reacting to their circumstances in her own way, it is not one that helps the group as a whole survive, and Jackie's inability to step up only hurts her later during her last confrontation with Shauna.

Between Shauna being an active member of playing a role in their survival and her pregnancy and Jackie's refusal to do much of anything, none of the team members really think much about allowing Jackie to sleep outside as winter approaches.
