Yellowjackets: Every Theory About Shauna’s Baby Explained
WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Yellowjackets season 1!
One of the biggest mysteries from Yellowjackets season 1 is what happened to Shauna’s baby in the past timeline — here’s every theory about Jeff and Shauna’s first child.

Since Shauna’s baby has yet to be mentioned by Jeff and Shauna in 2021, the clues about what happened are scarce, with only a few sinister comments and the fact that the couple got married extremely young giving hints to its fate.
