Yellowjacket, the 2021-released psychological thriller series, was a rollercoaster for the characters and viewers. The mystery drama series runs in two parallel timelines, which is intriguing and can keep the suspense alive. Well! Half the season, the audiences kept speculating about what the show held for us and, half the time, judging Jeff for cheating on Shauna.
Yellowjacket plots follow a deadly plane crash in the jungle when a group of high school girls’ football gets abandoned. The psychological thriller show is all about the struggle for survival.
The show keeps running in an alternative timeline from past to present. The first timeline is set in 1996, where the girls negotiate their own interpersonal and team dynamics just before the deathly trip. The other timeline is set 25 years later, after the tragic plane crash, in the present, where the survivors are still dealing with the fallout from the catastrophe.
Is Jeff cheating on Shauna in Yellowjackets?
It seems that Jeff could be cheating on Shauna. The couple themselves started their relationship with an affair. After spending a major chunk of the show cheating on Jackie with Shauna in the past, Jeff is now doing the same with Shauna. Though Jackie and Shauna were BFFs, the love affair of Shauna with her childhood closest friend’s boyfriend doesn’t seem right anyways. Well, the tables have turned, and Shauna is getting cheated on by the same person.
In one of the episodes of Yellowjacket, Shauna finds out that Jeff will meet a woman, Bianca, in a hotel. To catch him red-handed, she does follow him. Though, Shauna fails to keep track of him. In the course of events, she meets Adam, who is charming and good-looking. While they are sharing drinks, Shauna spots Jeff with a woman. This infuriates her; the next thing she does is sleep with Adam.
It could be entirely possible Jeff went to a hotel to meet that woman and was not having any affair. The writers never show him cheating on Shauna, so it could be possible that the whole scenario was created to bring Adam into the picture.
How does Jeff and Shauna’s love affair affect the show’s plot?
Jeff and Shauna’s complicated love affair adds more complexity to the intense and suspenseful storyline. Their relationship started with so much passion; however, as the series goes on, it is clear that both are suffering from intense problems affecting their relationship.
As the show’s plot develops, it becomes obvious that Jeff’s hand in the plane crash left the girls trapped in the jungle. This revelation further complicates the show’s dynamics.
Jeff and Shauna’s complicated relationship even strains the whole football team, which even causes rifts among the team member. The deceit surrounding the whole Jeff-Shauna relationship adds to the survivors’ trauma.
Does Jeff love Shauna in Yellowjacket?
As the plot progresses, it is revealed that Jeff is indeed the biggest supporter of Shauna. Though he did attempt to use other survivors who were still alive as bargaining chips, he still does all of that to support his family. However, Jeff did have a true affection for Shauna. It’s been revealed that Jeff had read Shauna’s wilderness journals and her survival horror description, but he still loved and supported her.
In one of the scenes where Shauna is tearfully confessing to Jeff that she was cheating on him with Adam rather than going to book club, Jeff responds hilariously, “What?! There’s no book club?“. A little more through the show, the duo teams up against Adam to destroy the paintings of Shauna that he kept in his studio.
In one of the interviews with THR, Warren Kole (Jeff Sadecki in the Yellowjackets) said, “Shauna is just that girl for him, and he can’t resist her. She’s irresistible. He’s madly in love with her. He is loyal, to the death, to this woman. And they are partners in crime right from the beginning. ”
