This article contains spoilers for the first two episodes of Yellowjackets season 3.

Over the years, Yellowjackets has required us to suspend our disbelief for the sake of some deranged and bloody antics. How are these girls stranded in the wilderness not riddled with parasites by now? Don’t think about it too hard! But perhaps the biggest demand Showtime’s darkly funny drama has made over the years is asking us to believe that even one of these soccer players is fully straight. I mean, not to stereotype, but women’s soccer has long been (and still is) a very gay affair in which even the players who aren’t out are often just choosing to be more private about their sexuality.

So consider me and countless other sapphic Yellowjackets fans vindicated by the two-episode season 3 premiere, which finally addressed one of our most cherished theories. Three words: Bisexual Shauna confirmed. Even setting aside Melanie Lynksey’s status as a gay icon, and her propensity for playing lesbians, I have always picked up distinctly queer vibes from the younger version of her Yellowjackets character. Played by Sophie Nélisse in the aftermath of the plane crash, Shauna began the show hopelessly obsessed with her best friend Jackie (Ella Purnell) in a way that felt like it straddled the border between the platonic and the romantic.

But even as Yellowjackets went on to deliver lots of queerness in the form of Taissa (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Van’s (Liv Hewson) relationship and Coach Ben’s (Steven Krueger) flashbacks to his time with his boyfriend, the Shauna-Jackie tension was never explicitly addressed in the show. Even in the modern-day timeline, Shauna has always given off a certain queer energy and her husband Jeff (Warren Kole) embodies the Platonic ideal of “heterosexual husband of bisexual wife.” The more time went on, the harder it was to accept that Shauna didn’t get up to something dykey out in those woods.

And now we can finally rest because the second episode of this season ends with Shauna making out with Melissa (Jenna Burgess), previously a background actor on the show who — through the magic of Hollywood! — has somehow learned how to speak between seasons 2 and 3. The start of season 3 finds a younger Shauna mourning her stillborn baby, butting heads with the other stranded girls as they lose themselves in the adolescent giddiness of their nascent society. But in the closing scene of the episode, Melissa reveals that she is undeterred by Shauna’s intense standoffishness. “Everyone’s afraid of you, you know? I’m not,’ she says, to which Shauna responds by putting a knife against Melissa’s throat and shoving her up against a tree. And then, naturally, they begin kissing with the fiery passion of a thousand Canadian suns.

Combined with scenes set in the present day that revolve around someone stalking Shauna, fans believe we will likely get to see an adult version of Melissa — perhaps played by Hilary Swank? — and honestly, if I weren’t already excited to see where this season goes, I’d be jumping out of my skin at the prospect of that pairing. Melanie Lynskey and Hilary Swank reliving a toxic doomed love affair from 25 years ago? I would simply be more seated than a closeted high-school soccer player on a private plane that’s about to crash in the forest.
