Yellowjackets

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Yellowackets season 3.

When Natalie is introduced inYellowjacketsseason 1, she’s easily one of the most memorable characters.

This goes beyond Sophie Thatcher’s and Juliette Lewis' impressive performances.

Perhaps this is why she keeps such a strong hold on her humanity later on.

She also becomes the teen survivors' leader inYellowjacketsseason 3.

This makes it easy to root for her, but it also makes theend ofYellowjacketsseason 2that much more disappointing.

It’s the same reason she doesn’t tell the team aboutMisty’s interference with the Black Box.

She may be disgusted, but she knows what they’ll do to Misty if they find out.

Her role in the rescue mission at the end of Yellowjackets season 3 cements her as the MVP.

Juliette Lewis as Natalie who is not happy in Yellowjackets season 2

This explains why the others seem so grateful to her during the adult timeline.

For one, Natalie never gets the recognition she deserves for her actions out in the Wilderness.

And with the Yellowjackets hiding what happened out there, Natalie experiences a life of addiction and guilt.

And Natalie even begins working towards healing in season 2, making her demise even more tragic.

But this is likely tied to the pointYellowjacketsis making.

This doesn’t make it any less frustrating, as we deserve so much more of them.
