Jessica claims not to know anything about the ArcSymbol in the postcards, but does reveal that Taissa hired her to find out if any of the survivors who returned from the wild was going to blab something that would ruin her campaign. She is also sure that Travis’s death was a murder and not a suicide. She refuses to reveal anything else and tries to persuade Misty to release in exchange for telling her everything. Misty finds Jessica’s attempt to “leverage” what she knows amusing:

Back to Taissa, Shauna and Natalie. The trio follow a truck with their car. When the truck parks, Natalie gets out of the car and goes off to confront the driver at gunpoint, demanding the truth about what he knows about the blackmail. The terrified driver tells them to just take the truck, thinking that’s what they are after. Just then, a guy runs out of the back of truck. With Shauna assigned to drive to the front of the building they are at, Taissa and Natalie chase him on foot. As they run through a warehouse, Taissa sends off Natalie to the wing and tackles the guy. He punches her in the face and gets away, but not without getting an open container of glitter spilled on him. As the blackmailer runs away, Natalie shoots at him but misses. Shauna meets Natalie and Taissa and they go over their fiasco of an operation. The blackmailer not only got their money, he dumped out the contents of the bag including the tracker. Now, their only clue to find him is to [[CallForward look for "an "asshole covered in glitter"]]. Taissa and Shauna confront Natalie for shooting at the guy, even though she claims she was not going to kill him. They point out that [[DidntThinkThisThrough had she actually killed the guy, they would all have gone down for murder.]]
->'''Natalie''': Like we haven't done a lot worse.
->'''Shauna''': You know what? Speak for yourself, Natalie. I... Don't drag us into your endless fucking pit of guilt.
The trio start speculating as to whether the guy was working on his own or with someone like Jessica. As Taissa points out, regardless of who blackmailed them, they not only have their money AND they know the trio is onto them. She worries that "they" will spill the group's secret ForTheEvulz. Natalie says she won't let that happen, and Shauna mocks her for thinking she can do that. Having reached her RageBreakingPoint, Natalie demands that they pull over the car. As far as she is concerned, the other two don’t get that for her, it's not about them, it's about Travis. They point out that his death might be unrelated, but Natalie refuses to believe that:

Back in Misty’s basement, Jessica watches [[SmugSmiler Misty]] injecting fentanyl into wrapped chocolates and musing as to why it makes for a good poison: "It's legal but deadly.

The threat of Misty mailing poisoned chocolates to her elderly father is enough to make Jessica talk. She did visit Travis before his death to get information, but could not get anything, despite attempting to ply with “a nice bottle of whiskey”. His death made her suspicious and so she learned that Travis's bank account was closed right "after" he died. It appears that whoever emptied his account may have killed Travis.

In the morning, Shauna wakes up next to Adam and lets out a ClusterFBomb when she realizes that Jeff has made it home. She wakes Adam and has him hide in the closet before Jeff comes in the bedroom, apologizing from getting home late from the store. Shauna lies about having had a quiet night in. While he goes to the shower, Shauna gets Adam, still in the closet ("Wow. I've never been in a French {{farce}} before.") and instructs him to get out.

Jackie wants to know everything about Shauna's first time. Shauna describes her alleged first and only time with Randy: it hurt a little and only lasted three minutes. Jackie laughs at the mental image and wonders when it happened and more importantly, how did she manage to miss it. "I have a life outside of you, you know," Shauna says, before she makes up a story. In her tale, she ended up losing her virginity at Mari’s birthday party, after Jackie and Jeff left early and Shauna drank too much. Jackie asks Shauna if it was really at Mari’s party, because Jackie remembers that she had to go back and pick up a very drunk Randy. Shauna lies that it was.

Taissa cuts off her long hair and gets on with her plan to hike out until she gets help. To her surprise, Van, Akilah, Mari, and Misty end up joining her. Lottie gives Van a deer bone for good luck.

Jackie talks to Shauna because she can feel Shauna is hiding something from her. Shauna admits she is pregnant but lies that the father is Randy.

Jackie reads Shauna's journal and finds out that Shauna [[MySecretPregnancy is pregnant with Jeff's child]]. ''Her'' boyfriend Jeff.

As they hike, they encounter a river with non-drinkable red water (like in Lottie's vision) and their compass starts spinning like a top. They finally stop to make camp for the night and Taissa offers to take the first watch. Much much later, Taissa wakes up on a tree branch as a pack of SavageWolves attacks the group. Mari, Akilah and Misty are barely keeping them away, and two of the wolves are now mauling Van, who wandered away to look for Taissa. Taissa takes out one of the wolves with an ax and scares away the rest with the flare gun. Van is seriously injured and looks like she didn't make it. Taissa screams to the skies in anguish.

'''Present''':
Taissa wakes up in the middle of the night, sitting on a tree, a mouthful of dirt and a bloody bite in her hand. She washes off the dirt and the blood. She has no idea how or why that happened. Then she meets Natalie and Shauna to drop off the $50,000 (which Shauna thought would produce a bigger bundle). They put it in a bag along with a GPS tracker and await the blackmailer's instructions. When they see him picking up the bag, they chase him through a warehouse where he bumps into a bunch of glitter. Natalie tries to shoot him but he gets away. Now they are out $50k and the blackmailer got away. As they drive away, the conversation deteriorates and Natalie yells at the other too, [[TheReasonYouSuck "You guys are just as fucked up as I am, you are just better at lying to yourselves!"]]. She ends up in bed with Kevyn, whose gun she "borrowed".

Shauna ends up sleeping with Adam at her own house. When Jeff, who had another late night at his workplace, comes in, Shauna has Adam hide in the closet until he hears the shower running.

%%Shauna and Jeff go to brunch at the home of Jackie’s parents, a yearly tradition on Jackie’s birthday. Mrs. Taylor goes on and on about how hard it must have been for Shauna to stand in the shadow of someone as awesome as Jackie. Jeff brings up Shauna being accepted early decision to Brown. Tired of Mrs. Taylor putting down Shauna, he tells them that the two of them were sleeping together while Jackie was alive, and while he is not proud of that, he loves Shauna.

!!Present
A disoriented
Taissa cuts finds herself outside, with a mouthful of dirt and a bloody bite on her hand. She washes up and bandages her wound. Then she goes off to meet Natalie and Shauna to put in action their plan to catch the blackmailer. Shauna comes prepared with a bag ("My daughter made it for Father's Day back when she was cute.") and a GPS tracker. Since she was expecting $50,000 in $100 bills ("A little bit disappointing, by heist movie standards") to be big enough to hide the tracker, they end up stuffing the bag with assorted trash. The plan is for Natalie to drop the money and the others will meet her long hair at a particular corner.
As Shauna and Taissa wait impatiently for Natalie to come back, Shauna wonders if Nat stopped to score drugs. She learns that Taissa paid for Natalie's most recent rehab and chides her for enabling her instead of using ToughLove. But Taissa feels it's only right.
->''"Don't you think about it? I got Simone, Sammy. You've got Jeff and-and Callie. Did we do something to deserve that? It's just fate that gave us that, right? Who does Natalie have? Other than Travis, which we both know was a fucking train wreck, who does she really have? No one. And now she has less. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her. So I do what I can. Not just for her, for me."''
Natalie comes back with some liquor to share while they wait for the blackmailer to pick up the money.

Shauna, Taissa, and Natalie are STILL waiting for the blackmailer to make the pickup. Mad at the blackmailer for his lack of punctuality, Shauna tries to make the best of this “quality time” by trying to engage in conversation with Taissa, who only responds with monosyllables and is generally evasive, even about the huge bandage on her hand.
%%->'''Shauna''': We should make the most of this quality time. Tai, how are the wife and kid?\\
'''Taissa''': Fine.\\
'''Shauna''': And the campaign? \\
'''Taissa''': Hmm. \\
'''Shauna''': It's also fine? \\
'''Taissa''': Mm-hmm. \\
'''Shauna''': It's just fine.\\
'''Taissa''': It's fine. \\
'''Shauna''' And what's the, um, what happened to your hand?\\
'''Taissa''': Oh. Um, nothing. It's just, uh... It's nothing.\\
'''Shauna''': Okay. Okay. Great talk.
Natalie brings up that she's been having sex with Kevyn Tan, managing to sound like she's happy about it. Shauna's phone dings, ending the talk. The tracker's app shows that the guy is moving. They follow the signal.

Misty's basement: Jessica finds herself still shackled to the bed but minus the gag. Misty makes it clear what she wants from Jessica is the truth about what’s been happening to her and her friends. A flippant Jessica does not cooperate.
->'''Misty''': [[TheEasyWayOrTheHardWay Hmm... If the easy way isn't gonna work, is there something else I should try?]] The reason you're here is simple. I'm protecting my friends. You see, I put all the pieces together, and all roads lead to you.
Misty follows this by accusing Jessica of blackmailing and stalking the surviving Yellowjackets. Jessica denies any blackmail or murder but gets a slap in the face from Misty.
->'''Misty''': Don't bother. We both know what you did.\\
'''Jessica''': No, you ''think'' it was me. If you really knew, I wouldn't be here.
Jessica claims not to know anything about the ArcSymbol in the postcards, but does reveal that Taissa hired her to find out if any of the survivors who returned from the wild was going to blab something that would ruin her campaign. She is also sure that Travis’s death was a murder and not a suicide. She refuses to reveal anything else and tries to persuade Misty to release in exchange for telling her everything. Misty finds Jessica’s attempt to “leverage” what she knows amusing:
->'''Misty''': ''(laughing)'' This is fun. ''({{Beat}})'' But you're wrong. You only have leverage [[WeHaveWaysOfMakingYouTalk if I am not willing to make you talk, which, in this case, means that you have no leverage at all.]]

Back to Taissa, Shauna and Natalie. The trio follow a truck with their car. When the truck parks, Natalie gets out of the car and goes off to confront the driver at gunpoint, demanding the truth about what he knows about the blackmail. The terrified driver tells them to just take the truck, thinking that’s what they are after. Just then, a guy runs out of the back of truck.

[[AtLeastIAdmitIt You guys are just as fucked-up as I am. You're just better at lying to yourselves.]] [[TheReasonYouSuck You're not healthy. You're not stable. You're living on the brink, just like me.]] If you're not gonna help me with the plan, I'll do it myself.
She breaks down and gets out of the car.

An exhausted Shauna arrives home and is unpleasantly surprised to find Adam waiting for her in her driveway.
->'''Shauna''': How long have you been in my driveway?\\
'''Adam''': I guess long enough to be out of my mind but not long enough to be full [[StalkerWithACrush stalker]].
Pointing out that her husband or daughter could have been there she tells him to go home. He asks her what is going
on with her plan to hike out until she gets help. To her surprise, Van, Akilah, Mari, and Misty end up joining her. Lottie gives Van a deer bone for good luck.

Jackie talks to Shauna because she can feel
them, saying that he’s wondering if maybe they could be something. Shauna is hiding something tells him to get away from her. Shauna admits she is pregnant but lies her with that nonsense:
->'''Shauna''': You are so full of shit. "I'm an artist. I'm open to
the father universe. Look at me." That is Randy.all just a fucking act. All that is happening is that you're not in control, and you're not used to it.

Before she can get inside her home, he tells her to wait: "That's a nice try, but you feel exactly what I'm talking about running between us. Every single cell in your body wants to blow things up and see what happens. That's who you are." They end up having sex in Shauna's and Jeff's bed.


Back in Misty’s basement, Jessica watches [[SmugSmiler Misty]] injecting fentanyl into wrapped chocolates and musing as to why it makes for a good poison: "It's legal but deadly. And when someone dies from it, they just assume that it's an overdose." Jessica declines the offer of a chocolate, saying she doesn’t like it.
->'''Misty:''' Everyone loves chocolate. [[IHaveYourWife Especially your dad. Eddie, right? He lives at The Cliffs Dwelling retirement home in Florida? Is this the correct address? 1022 Pine Street.]]

She did visit Travis before his death to get information, but could not get anything, despite attempting to ply with “a nice bottle of whiskey”. His death made her suspicious and so she learned that Travis's bank account was closed right "after" he died. It appears that whoever emptied his account may have killed Travis.

While he goes to the shower, Shauna gets Adam, still in the closet ("Wow. I've never been in a French {{farce}} before.") and instructs him to get out.

Natalie goes to her room and finds an agitated Kevyn. He can tell that his department issue gun has been fired and he asks her if she messed with it. She jokes about robbing a liquor store but when she sees he is dead serious, she makes up a story of taking it for protection when she went out for smokes and then the gun going off accidentally while she was at a park. Kevyn is a ByTheBookCop and has to account for every round fired, so he asks for details that she claims not to remember. Kevyn goes from interrogating her to pleading with her to be honest: "Did you commit a crime?" He is disappointed because he thought [[ItMeantSomethingToMe there was something between them]]. Rather than come clean about the heist or at least the blackmail, she spitefully dissuades him of any romantic notions, figuratively hitting below the belt:
->'''Natalie''': Well, I hate to break it to you, but we were just fucking. And your whole high school crush on me was really cute, but now it's just pathetic.\\
'''Kevyn''': Fuck you ''(storms out)''.
!!1996
Taissa is determined to leave the rest of the group and get help, despite Van's misgivings. They are starving, there’s hardly any game…
-> ''"And it's just gonna keep getting colder, and not "I better put on a coat" cold. We're talking "dying feels like falling asleep" cold."''
While they may be in the wilderness, Taissa insists that there's bound to be a town or a road somewhere, and she is willing to take the risk of dying out there if there is nothing. For the sake of the group, Taissa agrees to leave the rifle behind and only take supplies they don't use every day, like a compass and a flare gun. Before heading out, Taissa cuts off her long curly hair. Van compliments her short new ‘do and to Taissa's surprise, tells her she is coming along. Van wants to get back home so that someday she can share an special experience with Taissa: what she actually wanted to do in New York City when she went there for her seventh birthday, instead of what she actually did (get taken to see ''Theatre/{{Cats}}''):
->''"I want to go to New York with you, and I want to buy you a fucking soft pretzel, and I want to take you on a fucking horse and carriage ride through Central Park."''
Mari and Akilah join them too. Travis is packing to join them too, figuring that they might need a guy with them. Natalie asks him to stay, admitting that it's selfish of her. He agrees.

Lottie gives Van a unburnt deer bone that she thinks will keep Van safe, based on a dream she had with "red smoke and a river of blood." She makes Van promise not to lose it. Just before they head out, Misty comes out running and announces that she is going too. She asks the coach not to talk her out of it. Coach, trying not to look relieved, tells her she is brave and that he'll be OK.

At the cabin,
Jackie reads corners Shauna and demands to be told what the hell is Shauna hiding from her because her behavior (sneaking around, whispering with Taissa and being distant) is driving Jackie crazy. Shauna finally reveals she's pregnant and that Taissa knows. A surprised Jackie feels left out of the loop that Shauna lost her virginity without sharing the news with her. When asked for more info, Shauna lies that it was with Randy Walsh, Jeff's best friend since high school). Jackie promises that they will get through it together.
The expedition: as they hike, Taissa asks Van about the unburnt deer bone Lottie gave her. Van tells her what Lottie saw in her dreams. Taissa has doubts about Lottie:
-> '''Taissa''': I'm just saying, you know, if this was a horror movie, she'd be the villain, right? \\
'''Van''': If this was a horror movie, you would be the first to die.\\
'''Taissa''': [[BlackDudeDiesFirst Why, because I'm Black?]]\\
'''Van''': [[GenreSavvy No, 'cause you're the skeptical one. They always go first]], leaving the rest of us to keep doing dumb shit and die in unnecessarily brutal ways.


At the cabin, Natalie and Travis decide to take advantage that everyone else is at the lake to [[TheirFirstTime consummate the relationship]]. There’s some awkwardness, Travis declines Natalie’s offer to help with the condom]], she tries to talk dirty but it doesn’t work for him, and… [[TheLoinsSleepTonight things do not happen. Again.]] An embarrassed Travis pulls a ScrewThisImOutOfHere, leaving Natalie confused.
Jackie wants to know everything about Shauna's first time. Shauna describes her alleged first and only time with Randy: it hurt a little and only lasted three minutes. Jackie laughs at the mental image and wonders when it happened and more importantly, how did she manage to miss it. "I have a life outside of you, you know," Shauna says, before she makes up a story. In her tale, she ended up losing her virginity at Mari’s birthday party, after Jackie and Jeff left early and Shauna drank too much. Jackie asks Shauna if it was really at Mari’s party, because Jackie remembers that she had to go back and pick up a very drunk Randy. Shauna lies that it was.

While hiking, Van does a recap of ''Film/WhileYouWereSleeping'' that gets interrupted by howling.
Taissa reassures the other girls that [[TemptingFate they will be fine, since wolves are intimidated by humans]] and it sounds like they are a significant distance away. They agree that they will take turns keeping watch, just to be extra safe. Reassured, Van goes back to her retelling.

Shauna comes up the attic and finds Javi. She thinks he is snooping, but he just wanted the hunting knife for an art project.

In tears, Jackie learns from reading
Shauna's journal and finds out that Shauna [[MySecretPregnancy Jeff, Jackie’s boyfriend, is pregnant with Jeff's child]]. ''Her'' boyfriend Jeff.

As they hike, they encounter
the real father of Shauna's baby.

Led by Taissa, the group comes up to
a river with non-drinkable of murky, off-smelling, reddish water. Akilah and Mari mention Lottie’s dream of a river of blood and a cloud of red water (like in Lottie's vision) smoke. Taissa is skeptical and their tells them to keep moving. But the compass starts is malfunctioning and spinning like a top. They finally stop The other start contemplating going back and and they remind Taissa of what Lottie said when they found the plane ("It didn't want him to make leave.") Taissa says it is just mineral deposits in the water what is making the compass act weird, and if they get far away enough they will be fine. Van asks that Taissa think about the red stream and and how contrived it would be for it just to be a coincidence. Taissa dismisses all the unusual signs by saying that the forests don't give a damn, that the whole “spirits don’t want us to leave” is nonsense, and to just keep moving. The group prepares to camp out for the night and night. Van steps up for take first watch tonight but Taissa offers to take do it instead so that the first watch. others can rest.

* FacialHorror: After
now being mauled by wolves, two wolves. Taissa runs off one with the flare gun and kills the other with an axe. The others come over. Van is has been left with horrible injuries to her face and neck and is not responsive. Taissa screams in anguish.

!!Examples of tropes present in this work
* FacialHorror: The wolf attack leaves poor Van with serious
wounds in on her face. One of those leaves is so deep that her teeth visible can be seen through her cheek.cheek.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Taissa’s description of how cold the weather will get, “We're talking "dying feels like falling asleep" cold”.
* BlackGuyDiesFirst: Brought up and deconstructed. A GenreSavvy Van says Taissa would die first, but not on account of this trope, but because she is the cynical one of the group and if she is dead, the others will get a grip of the IdiotBall and get killed. Interestingly, nobody bothers to discuss how Akilah, the other black member of the expedition could be affected.
* DissonantSerenity: Acknowledged in universe by Misty, who finds that for somebody who was drugged, abducted, and is now chained to a bed in TheUnfettered’s basemen, Jessica is surprisingly calm. Apparently Jessica has been held hostage before.
* DrunkDriver: Averted by Shauna, who provides a very good reason for handing over her keys to Taissa and Natalie: “Actually, I probably shouldn't drive 'cause if we die, we will never find out who's doing this.”
* TheEasyWayOrTheHardWay: Misty demands that Jessica tell her truth. Jessica does not feel like cooperating:
->'''Jessica:''' OK. Your haircut is unflattering.\\
'''Misty:''' Hmm... If the easy way isn't gonna work, is there something else I should try?
* EverybodyHasStandards: Shauna is incensed that their blackmailer has been making them wait since 2:00 a.m. to pick up the money. "This is unacceptable. Blackmail us, fine, but it's 3:34."
* HatesSmallTalk: Taissa had no trouble mingling with potential donors at the party she went to earlier on, but Shauna's attempt for quality time is laughable.



* ItsAllAboutMe: When Shauna tells Jackie about her pregnancy, Jackie wonders where was she when this happened, as if surprised that Shauna has a life that does not involve her.

* ShoutOut:
** Jackie to Shauna: "Remember when your parents first separated and you told me the reason your dad wasn't around as much was because he got a new job as the president at Franchise/HelloKitty?"
** Van got taken to see Theatre/{{Cats}} at the age of seven. She was not impressed.
* TemptingFate: While hiking out, the group hears distant howling and worries about wolves. Taissa tells them not to worry because wolves are scared of humans. While that is true, wolves have been known to attack humans if they feel their territory is invaded or if they are hungry enough.
