What time is Yellowjackets episode 4 on tonight, Dec. 5?
By Mads Lennon
The girls play with guns in the past to figure out who is the most responsible of the group in Yellowjackets episode 4. Tonight’s episode promises to be an important one.
Per the Showtime synopsis and preview, the survivors have depleted their limited rations and must start hunting if they hope to survive. The cabin they found in the previous episode has guns and other weapons inside, but can any of the girls use a gun? We’ve seen the adult Natalie (Juliette Lewis) wield one in the present, and the preview shows teenage Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) holding one as well.
Speaking of Natalie, this week’s episode will examine more of her backstory. She has a track record for trying to fix broken men. Via flashbacks and her modern-day obsession with finding out what happened to Travis, this episode looks like it’s going to center on Natalie.

In 2021, Taissa (Tawny Cypress) attends a function for rich people, probably to drum up more votes or even money for her campaign. However, the preview shows a particularly nosy couple asking intrusive questions about what really happened in the woods. Taissa appears to hallucinate at the party, seeing a deer head on a platter and a wolf walking through the manor. Is the whole sequence a dream, or is something else going on?
Meanwhile, Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) continues bonding with Adam (Peter Gadiot) after confirming that her husband, Jeff (Warren Kole), is having an affair (at least, that’s sure what it looks like). They go mini-golfing, and Shauna tells Adam that if she wins, he has to do something she wants to do, no matter what.
