Akilah is the next death(theory)

Alright, hear me out. We know Yellowjackets loves its symbolism, especially with food and fate. The pomegranate theory ties the show to Persephone’s myth—eating food in the underworld binds you to it. In Season 3, Episode 3, there’s a scene where Akilah eats blackberries, which might be a subtle hint about her fate. For example, before Jackie died she had a vision of her drinking hot chocolate.

In Greek mythology, Persephone eats pomegranate seeds in the underworld, binding her to it. In Yellowjackets, food often symbolizes a character’s connection to the wilderness. If the blackberries parallel the pomegranate, Akilah consuming them could signify her deepening bond with the wilderness, possibly marking her as the next to face a dire fate.

If the blackberries serve as a symbolic omen, Akilah’s fate might already be sealed, and we just haven’t realized it yet.
