When Lottie was kicked out of their house, Callie discovered that the tape from the package Shauna received was missing. She went to see Lottie to ask for it back, and Lottie took her down to the basement, promising to tell Callie anything she wants. Callie wonders if her mom really loves her, and Lottie tells her that the Wilderness is still within Shauna, and she’s jealous of how much of the Wilderness is in Callie. Callie doesn’t want to be the child of the wilderness that Lottie believes she is. She gets freaked out and upset and pushes her down the stairs. She takes the tape back and runs away.
At the urging of Misty, Callie comes clean to Jeff. He’s surprisingly understanding and does his best to comfort Callie, reassuring her that it was an accident and she was scared in the moment. He apologizes for not protecting Callie more, and the two leave the house and Shauna behind.
Who Are Pit Girl and the Antler Queen from the Series Premiere?
In the past, Shauna’s reign of terror continues as another winter begins. Lottie believes that the Wilderness wants another sacrifice from them, another hunt to appease Its bloodlust. She convinces Akilah to poison the animals as she saw in her vision to convince the others that this is necessary. Shauna is all too eager to support Lottie’s plan, and no one dares speak out against her.
Tai and Van conspire to rig the deck of cards so that Hannah draws the Queen of Hearts and not one of their teammates. Shauna catches on and changes her place in the circle to throw off the count, leading Mari to draw the Queen instead. Mari is given Jackie’s necklace, and the hunt begins soon after. Travis gets drunk and tries to stop the hunt, wondering what reality they’re all in and claiming that he can feel Javi and Jackie’s thoughts.
Mari gets a good head start, but despite Gen’s best efforts to distract some of the others, Mari still can’t outsmart the Wilderness. Just as in the series premiere, the others chase Mari through the woods in her nightgown until she accidentally ends up falling in the pit that Coach Scott (Steven Krueger) dug and Travis added spikes to. Lottie even tries to warn her that she’s been here before and that she could “let it be different,” but Mari thinks that Lottie has lost it and continues running toward the pit, and her death. Shauna orders that the pit be filled in after this, but Mari is now and always Pit Girl.
In a combination of new and familiar scenes from the series premiere, we see the team feast on Mari. Shauna has donned the ceremonial garb of the Antler Queen and officially taken her place in the hierarchy of the Wilderness.
