Yellowjackets Theory: Why Jackie’s Diary Has Events From After Her Death
WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Yellowjackets season 1!
Although Jackie died in Yellowjackets’ 1996 timeline, her old diary features excerpts about films that were released after the crash, suggesting another character is behind it. The revelation that Jackie died in the Yellowjackets season 1 finale didn’t come as a major surprise to viewers, but the circumstances behind her death did. Many figured that she was the pit girl from Yellowjackets' opening pilot scene because of her necklace, though it turned out that she froze to death when Shauna exiled her from the cabin during a fight.
Shauna and Jackie were best friends on Yellowjackets’ title soccer team, though the two were plagued with problems right off the bat. Yellowjackets revealed that Shauna (Sophie Nelisse) was secretly sleeping with Jackie’s boyfriend Jeff, who Shauna married in the future, and became pregnant with his baby.

While the aftermath of Jackie’s death in the 1996 timeline is still unknown, Yellowjackets’ 2021 timeline revealed that Melanie Lynskey’s Shauna still grieves Jackie and has conflicted feelings about the circumstances of their friendship before she died.
