I Think “Other” Tai Has Been Taking Over Tai’s Body & Trapping Her Throughout Season 3

It Would Explain Her Strange Behavior & Sammy’s Reaction To Her

Adult Taissa has been acting funnily for most ofYellowjacketsseason 3 , andher recent call for help have led me to one conclusion : she ’s being controlled by Other Tai . We ’ve mostly seen Tai ’s darker persona in the serial ' past timeline , but several incident in season 1 prove she ’s still around years by and by . And I think she ’s present more than anyone realizes , though it seems like Van is take off to catch on . Other Tai seems to be taking over Tai ’s body in the grownup timeline , a distressful exploitation if it proves straight .

A novel Antler Queen is crowned in the wild in Yellowjackets season 3 , episode 6 , confirming a long - bear theory about her from the cowcatcher episode .

This would explicate Tai ’s unemotionality to Lottie ’s death , her sudden craving for meat , and the fact thatSammy does n’t desire to see her inYellowjacketsseason 3 . The last point is especially damnatory , since Sammy can tell the remainder between Tai and her alter ego . And Other Tai is connected to the Wilderness , so her front would make sense of grownup Tai ’s impulsive behavior and want to make a sacrifice in the beginning in the time of year .

The real Tai is likely the one screaming , while Other Tai put her back to rest .

to boot , Other Tai being in the driver ’s buttocks would make sense of the calls for help , asit seems like the literal Tai is attempt to break devoid from her control condition . It ’s not clear how this back - and - forth is take place , but the real Tai is likely the one screaming , while Other Tai puts her back to sleep . you could even see the abrupt duty period in her expression that indicate going from one character to the other .

In addition to screaming for help , instalment 6 ’s phone call to Van support the theory that Other Tai is in control . However , it rear a lot of dubiousness about what Other Tai is , where she ’s keeping the real Tai , and how their dynamic works . The panel is still out on whetherYellowjackets’many oddities are really supernatural , but installment 6 leans into the possibility . After all , it ’s hard to understand how Van receives a call from a landline headphone that is n’t plugged in . And it ’s grueling to see how Tai made that call , then appeared in the room moments subsequently .

One of the liberal mysteries in Yellowjackets has to do with " Other " Tai , who often takes control of the lineament during pivotal mo .

It ’s almost as though the tangible Tai makes that call separately from her alter ego , potentially suggesting she ’s in another dimension or has the power to control technology . The latter option would also excuse why the brightness flicker just before the telephone rings . It ’s all very reminiscent of a horror movie , and it makes me think Other Tai is more than a demonstration of Tai ’s hurt . She seems to be a wholly different entity with supernatural origins .

How Long Has Other Tai Been Taking Over Tai’s Body?

Likely Since The End Of Season 2 Or Beginning Of Season 3

If Other Tai is rightfully taking over Tai ’s eubstance inYellowjacketsseason 3 , this also go away us to wonder how long she has been around . We know she ’s present in time of year 1 , butit seems unlikely that the existent Tai is miss for the intact adult timeline . It ’s possible she resurfaces at theend ofYellowjacketsseason 2 , which would explain why Tai is so unforced to participate in the hunt where Natalie dies . There ’s also a chance she fully drive over at the beginning of season 3 .

It seems like either Natalie ’s demise or the guilt of accidentally killing a waiter may have flip the switching and let Other Tai in .

After all , the real Tai is probably the one who returns to pay the bill at the eating place she and Van skipped out on . But Other Tai is almost in spades the one who suggests that Van ’s wellness improvement is due to the Wilderness — and that they should do another hunt because of it . It seems like either Natalie ’s death or the guilt trip of unintentionally killing a waiter may have flipped the switch and let Other Tai in . Hopefully , Yellowjacketsseason 3 will offer more insight into what ’s really going on , but one matter is certain : Tai is n’t all veracious .
