'Yellowjackets' preview: Which way does the compass point in episode 7?

Yellowjackets is beginning to look more and more menacing with each passing week. With the previous episode being a very intense, supernatural and haunting feast of drama, Yellowjackets is set to come out with another episode, "No Compass", on December 26, 2021.

With the new episode, the creators are set to explore more about the events that turned the characters into doing something that is still a secret in the present day. The Shauna-Jackie drama is also increasing in intensity and it seems the upcoming episode will shed even more light on that.

What to expect from 'No Compass'?

It is already hinted that the girls are reaching an end of their resources. Things may not get any simpler for them from here on. The title "No Compass" indicates brutality, if by compass a moral compass is indicated, since it is already known that the show deals with cannibalism.

The official synopsis for the episode reads:

"As starvation looms, Taissa leads a last-ditch effort and/or suicide mission. Amid felony schemes and all-night stakeouts, the Yellowjackets are forced to commit small talk."
