Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT "Il veut du sang" is a phrase heard in Yellowjackets that marks a change in the show after it’s uttered. Yellowjackets is a Showtime series that follows a high school girls’ soccer team who are involved in a plane crash deep in the forests of Canada.
The show is primarily a grounded look at what happens when the rules of normal society break down, but there are other times in Yellowjackets when it seems that something supernatural is at work. Mysterious events, dreams, visions, and unaccountable disasters befall the girls and coaches in the wilderness, and it sometimes seems as if the forest itself is attempting to keep the soccer team lost in the woods.
It is not completely certain Lottie's Yellowjackets beehive vision means, but in the wilderness, she experienced bloody visions and spoke French when she was seemingly possessed. For Lottie, this vision suggests that whatever entity was shadowing her in Canada may have returned, and that she and her friends are once again in danger. More and more often throughout Yellowjackets season 2, blood is spilled , and some sort of inexplicable, dark reward results.
Yellowjackets Leans Into The Supernatural After The "Il Veut Du Sang" Scene While there had been some references to supernatural events in Yellowjackets, it is the return of Lottie’s visions that signals the show leaning harder toward these elements. In a flashback in the same episode, Shauna’s nosebleed drips onto the baby blanket Lottie gives her, and moments later, starlings slam into the cabin, killing themselves.
"Il veut du sang" comes back all the way around in the Yellowjackets season 2 ending, when the adult survivors plot to interrupt Lottie’s ritual and send her to a psychiatric institute. Instead, Natalie ends up dead and Lottie, while being rolled away, tells the remaining woman how the wilderness is pleased with their blood sacrifice.
