While flying over Canada, their plane crashes deep in the wilderness, and the surviving team members are left stranded for nineteen months.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.168 million household viewers and gained a 0.02 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
The group barely escapes the plane as it starts catching fire, with Jackie (Ella Purnell) forcing Shauna (Sophie Nélisse) to abandon Van (Liv Hewson), who is unable to take off her seatbelt.
The team finds that Coach Bill Martinez (Carlos Sanz) has died and his body lands on a tree, devastating his children Travis (Kevin Alves) and Javi (Luciano Leroux).
Shauna also meets with her husband, Jeff (Warren Kole), for marriage counseling and discuss their problems at sexual life.
As they go to a bar to talk about possibly finding the whereabouts of Travis, Natalie reunites with her high school friend Kevyn (Alex Wyndham).
Taissa (Tawny Cypress) and Simone (Rukiya Bernard) become concerned when Sammy (Aiden Stoxx) starts making disturbing drawings.
Whether that will lead to an overcrowded mess by the midseason point or an intricate tapestry of damaged people and terrible things remains to be seen, but Misty's story bodes well.
"[4] Kelly McClure of Vulture gave the episode a perfect 5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "When she's forced to attend couples therapy with her husband to mend their lackluster sex life, the therapist tells them that “Marriage lives up here (heart) and dies down here (crotch).” Still, for the surviving Yellowjackets, it's common knowledge that in marriage, or life as a whole, there are much bigger things to worry about, and way worse ways to die.
"[7] For the episode, Jonathan Lisco, Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson were nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards.
