This article contains spoilers for "Yellowolyti".

If there is a clear hero in "Yellowjackets", it is Natalie's "Nat" Scotorchio, as Sophie Thatcher plays as a teenager in the past time schedule and Ietouliette Lewis as an adult in the current timetable. Teenager Natalie is the only character in the show who is constantly trying to do the right thing, even if this sometimes pulls and worsens everything. Since Tai (Jasmine Savoy Brown and Thani Cyprus), Van (Liv Hyson and Lauren Ambrose), Misti (Samantha Hanrati and Christina Richie), Lotti (Courtney Eton and Simone Cesel), and (in particular) Shauna (Sophie Nelis). Natalie has remained a brave, kinda and reasonable level.

By the end of the season 3, the group seems to have split into two main factions in the past timeline: the one that is far unbalanced (mostly Lotti, Shauna and Tai) and team resistance, which is made up of all others. Teenager Fauna (Nelis) can officially control the yellow, leading through fear and strength, but Nat is the unofficial leader because everyone loves her. The stage seems to be set for a recalculation of teenagers against Fauna in Season 4; It is exciting, but it would probably be more intriguing if Nat had parallel against Shauna in the current story. Adult Fauna is of course growing more and more careless and retaliating in season 3, but now there is no adult NAT to cause it. Why? Because the show killed her very suddenly in season 2.

So is: In the final of Season 2, "Storytelling", " Natalie is accidentally stabbed by a deadly dose of phenobarbital (or eventually fentanyl). It sounds silly, but it is a little less silly in context: Adult fat (Richie) is a well -established poison that is trying to kill a smaller character, but Natalie steps on the road to stop it. It is still a little difficult to believe that Misti can and accidentally stabbed Natalie And Press down on the syringe before you understand its mistake, but that is the outcome we received. And hey, if Someone He had to die in that episode, I suppose it should be that survivor who managed to find peace. But what led to Lewis's exit in the first place?

Although most of Big Deaths of Characters on Yellowelkickets They were well received by the fans, the death of Nat fell flat. It didn't feel like this was something that the series writers had planned from the first day, but something that was imposed on them by external forces. Fans quickly theorized that there was a conflict between Lewis and the show -show; It will not only explain the untimely death of NAT, it will also be why the story of an adult nat is so easy. Indeed, its bow in Season 2 included less screen time and was almost entirely at one location, giving the impression that it was written to allow Lewis to complete things as quickly as possible.

Although Lewis remained mostly positive in the show interviews, she means that rumors are at least partly true. "I think I'm good for a two -season series. It's a different kind of work," she said in A. 2024 Interview variety. "In my creative DNA, I like moviemaking. It is something I understand thoroughly with a director, a final time and knowing the start, the middle and the end. And I really enjoy those boundaries." Lewis seems to have not wanted to deal with a few more seasons at the Yellowothlings, so the writers reduced her.

Adding more fuel to the blaze claiming that the death of NAT is not part of the initial plan, Lewis announced Instagram The message before Season 2 premiered that it certainly seemed to have hinted at some creative differences between her and the series writers. "I hope Natalie will write the way I thought it would be when I applied," she wrote.

Then this was Interview with Volusadec with the cast Back when Season 1 first aired. Lewis did not look happy that he was there; When she was first asked to talk about her character, it passed. After about 24 minutes, she tried to say, "Natalie was really depressed to play. And she's a devolution. So you sort of part, and I didn't know it." She eventually kept things positive, complimenting the rest of the cast and crew, but Natalie's image line is the longest to get stuck in the anxious minds of the fans.

While I found myself the death of Nat Strangely hollow in season 2, I think Season 3 used the best of moving forward. With each passing episode in Teen Storyline, viewers better understand why adults fought most of all survivors. The role of Mysti in the death of NAT was also well used; This has led to start the third season more isolated than other survivors than ever, laid the foundations for her complete turn against Shauna to the final.

Perhaps the most attractive, the death of OT added additional stakes in the adult story. We have seen in Season 3 that it is bad as it gets the control of teenager Fauna and Lotti over the group, Nat will always be there to argue with reason and protect everyone from their worst impulses. Adult survivors no longer have that luxury. Since the season 3 firmly cements the teenager as a hero In a group opposing the villain Shauna, there is no clear hero among adult survivors who can fight the rule of Hauna terror. This either means that Shauna will win for good this time or that someone else will have to step up and take over the role of NAT.

Whatever happens, there is an extra sense of chaos that enters the adult story in the Yellowjackets Season 4, something that could not have happened without untimely, potentially unused collapse of adults. Adult survivors have lost their moral compass, and whatever happens next, it won't be nice.
