In the initial post-credits sequence of *Yellowjackets* Season 3, we catch our first look at the team’s newly established wilderness camp. And wow—just take a look at those structures!
The previous time we observed the Yellowjackets in the past, they were gathered in the snow, gazing at their haunting, web-covered cabin from Seasons 1 and 2 as it was engulfed in flames. Now, accompanied by Cat Stevens’ *Morning Has Broken*, we see they’ve been diligently constructing a new home for spring. Their campsite showcases remarkably crafted shelters made from twigs, fibers, and various natural elements, all organized around a central fire pit. Scattered around are chairs salvaged from the wreckage of the plane. The designs of the structures differ—some are A-frame huts, while others have flat roofs supported by thick branches, and one particularly eye-catching pear-shaped hut boasts a circular entrance.
Seriously, which member of this group has a background in architecture, design, or survival skills? These shelters are truly impressive!

Considering their extensive time in the wilderness, it’s not surprising that the team has developed significant survival capabilities. They’ve already crafted their own clothing, essential hygiene products, ceremonial headdresses, and even altars—not to mention resorting to cannibalism. Misty has shown proficiency in first aid and even DIY amputations, but she’s never indicated an interest in constructing shelters.
Fortunately, the show provides some clarity. The next shot focuses in on a pile of worn books, including one titled *Art and Architecture of the Ancient World* by G. Smyth, M. Garcia, and W. Parker—a fictional title created for the series. The cover displays images of huts that bear a striking resemblance to the ones the Yellowjackets have constructed. The book seems to be an old textbook, likely several decades in age.
However, this brings up an important inquiry: Whose book is this? I reached out to the *Yellowjackets* production team for further details, but for now, I can think of only two potential explanations.
The first scenario is that one of the Yellowjackets discovered the book in the cabin and deemed it valuable enough to save when their shelter was consumed by flames in the Season 2 finale. The five books visible in the scene appear worn but not charred, implying that someone retrieved them before the fire destroyed the cabin. If this is true, it wouldn’t be the first instance a Yellowjacket turned to the cabin’s library—Laura Lee once learned to fly a plane using a book from that collection, and we all know how that turned out.
The second scenario is that someone brought the book aboard the plane. If that’s the case, they either managed to keep it safe during their ordeal in the wilderness or retrieved it from the wreckage post-fire. Could it have been owned by one of the pilots (RIP) or Coach Bill (RIP)? Or perhaps it was a textbook belonging to one of the students—although it does seem rather old for that.
In any case, this book is incredibly useful for the Yellowjackets at this crucial moment. It serves as a guide for advanced shelter-building methods, complete with climate-appropriate ventilation techniques. The fact that the show emphasizes it with a close-up shot indicates its importance.
So, to whom did this book belong? WHO?
