Yellowjackets - Season 1- Episode 9 Jun 2026

By dusk, the cabin was transformed. Crepe paper made from scavenged clothes fluttered. The only light came from lanterns and the grinning skull of the stag they’d found in the attic, now mounted on a pike. Travis was tied to a chair—a ritual they’d invented to keep him from running off into the woods again. But as the mushroom tea took hold, the bonds felt less like precaution and more like sacrifice.

The centerpiece of the episode is the dance. The girls string up lanterns, gather remaining rations, and Lottie brews a mysterious "tea" for everyone. The audience knows what the characters don't: the tea is made from the psychotropic mushrooms Misty had secretly stashed. As the sun sets, the entire cabin becomes a pressure cooker of repressed desire, grief, and paranoia. Yellowjackets - Season 1- Episode 9
