GOODNIGHT JACKIESHAUNA NATION
oh!
yellowjackets 3x10 spoilers ahead.
i actually think there were two separate teams conspiring in the finale. i don’t think mari, akilah, gen, and melissa were working with van, nat, and misty. not because they didn’t want to, but because neither group knew what the other was up to.
mari, akilah, gen, and melissa seemed like they wanted the hunt to happen so they could use it as a cover to kill shauna and lottie. they’re the only two really keeping them stuck out there. mari told shauna, “you deserve everything that’s coming for you,” and then melissa straight-up tackled her and almost killed her like it was planed. akilah literally went after lottie with a brick. the hunt was an opportunity to get rid of the people standing between them and rescue. meanwhile, van, nat, and misty were working on their own plan, one that just happened to benefit from the chaos of the hunt. they didn’t want the hunt either, but it gave nat cover to escape and call for help.
honestly, if either group had known what the other was doing, the hunt probably wouldn’t have been necessary at all. they could’ve just teamed up and jumped shauna and lottie directly.
only have 2 moots but goddamn am i going to reblog blorbos from my shows they know nothing about so eventually one day they cave in and join my insanity

I know the latest episode said she was dead, but she definitely faked her death. Hilary's character is going to be in ep 8 and in the trailer for that episode, she obviously has blue eyes (Hilary has brown eyes). They wouldn't make her wear blue contacts unless it's essential for her character.
It's confirmed that Hilary isn't playing Alex. If Hilary isn't playing her, I don't see who else she would be playing. It was already confirmed she'd be a recurring character if the show is renewed for s4. She has to play an already established character, aka a survivor. I don't think they'd just introduce a new character like that so far in the story and make her part of the regular cast.
It's very possible that Melissa had to fake her death. We know she will get close to Hannah, and Hannah is definitely going to get killed. The other survivors would probably assume Mel will reveal the truth, so to protect herself, she'd have to fake her death. She is probably the one who sneaked the tape (Hannah might have given it to her). There is a lot of reference to the Princess Bride with Melissa, so it does feel like foreshadowing about her faking her death and coming back later for revenge.
And the synopsis for ep8 mentions a teammate coming back and making Shauna spiral. Given we know Hilary is going to be there, it's probably her. In the trailer she's saying "Does she know what you did? what you are capable of?" If this is Hilary talking to Shauna, then she does know her personally. This isn't a new character. This is Melissa coming back for revenge. For what Shauna did. As foreshadowed by ghost Jackie. What Shauna did after coming back was trying to kill Melissa to silence her.
Why wait 25 years? Personally, I think Melissa would have rather stayed hidden and never seen Shauna again and let them believe she's dead, but with Nat's death, the group possibly being on the news, she got reminded of them. She might even have gone to Nat's funeral and saw Shauna, and all those feelings she got came back and she impulsively decided to start following her around. We do see a blonde woman (prob Hilary) at the bar right after the funeral, watching over them. And later seemingly the same woman outside Shauna's house.
I think ep8 will answer a lot of our questions, but I'm almost 100% convinced Hilary is playing adult Melissa, and she's there to get revenge on Shauna. I don't think she was responsible for the breaks or the freezer, nor did she kill Lottie. But her actions will definitely make her the new prime suspect.
