And of course, this is also a dream, or so it would seem insofar as Natalie wakes up to see Lottie staring blankly towards the attic.
What is metaphysics if not thought diving into the monstrous depths of being qua being, to try and think it through and bring order to the chaos? Whether what Nat experiences is a sign from the beyond is less important than whether she interprets it as such. I might suggest the two things are the same at some level.

As she tells Travis, it messes you up when you’re dad is dead even if he was a bastard.īut, back to the scene in the plane with which S1E4 begins-whose arm was Natalie actually holding? Or was there an arm there at all? Her dead father suggests cryptically that there is someone or something beckoning them (“We’re almost there. And I’m sure she’s felt all of this throughout her life-a strange mix of guilt and relief at the man being gone. I don’t think insulting someone in a way that causes them to lose their head (both literally and figuratively in this case) constitutes murder or anything, but it would be to some degree fair to suggest Natalie caused her father’s death, even if she shouldn’t bear blame for it.
Nat doesn’t kill him, ultimately-or at least not straightforwardly. They engage in some very era-appropriate conversation about whether Nirvana is selling out, before Nat’s dad (Derek Hamilton) barges in to be a misogynistic buzzkill. With “Bear Down,” Yellowjackets continues to play in the space of resonance between events set apart in time, and we see this again when Natalie returns home, says hello to her mother, and then a younger version of herself walks in with Kevyn. She reaches over to grab a man’s arm, and that man turns out to be her father…sans half a head. Yellowjackets S1E4 begins with a repetition of the plane crash, moving this time to focus on Natalie’s perspective.
