There’s been a lot of speculation about who “Pit Girl” is in Yellowjackets, and the most convincing theory explains Misty’s disturbing behavior during the show’s premiere. Yellowjackets season 1 kicks off with a terrified girl running through the woods, and it’s soon revealed that the other girls are hunting her. The identity of this character remains a mystery, but she’s become widely known as “Pit Girl.” And with people gradually dying in the show’s past storyline, it’s only a matter of time until we learn who is killed and eaten in Yellowjackets’ opening scene.
There are several theories about who Pit Girl could be, and the most convincing candidate is probably Mari. Mari’s long brown hair matches the features of the girl running through the wilderness, and there’s no indication she survives the Yellowjackets’ time stranded there. There are other clues to suggest that Mari is Pit Girl, from her connection to Jackie to her negative attitude. And Mari being confirmed as Pit Girl would explain Misty’s most disturbing moment in the show, as the two have a strained relationship with one another.
The Yellowjackets Theory That Mari Is Pit Girl Explains Misty’s Most Disturbing Moment
Misty Seems Happy After Killing & Eating Pit Girl
Misty has many perplexing moments throughout Yellowjackets, but the most disturbing takes place at the end of the show’s very first episode. In a scene that directly follows the killing of Pit Girl, the survivors are shown eating the person they killed. Misty lifts her mask afterward, and she doesn’t seem disgusted or perturbed by their cannibalism. In fact, she smiles at the camera, suggesting she’s satisfied with what’s happened. It’s a shocking scene, even for Misty, who seems to be the least traumatized by what happened during the girls’ time in the wilderness.
It’s possible Misty’s smile is another clue that Mari is the one who perishes in Yellowjackets’ opening scene.
While viewers may be tempted to think Misty enjoys cannibalism at first glance, there’s an alternate explanation for her reaction to Pit Girl’s death. Misty and Mari don’t get along in Yellowjackets, with the latter girl bullying and talking badly about Misty throughout season 2. It’s possible Misty’s smile is another clue that Mari is the one who perishes in Yellowjackets’ opening scene. Misty has every reason to dislike the other girl, and her vindictive nature may cause her to celebrate Mari’s demise.
Why Misty Would React This Way To Mari’s Yellowjackets Death
Her Taunting About Crystal Could Go Further
The way Mari treats Misty during Yellowjackets season 2 could be enough to leave Misty thrilled over her death, as Mari makes fun of her for multiple reasons, including the fact that she’s nerdy and annoying. Mari even expresses frustration Misty and Crystal become friends and are both alike. However, Crystal highlights a bigger reason Misty could be celebrating Mari’s demise. Mari is the one who points out Misty’s odd reaction to Crystal’s disappearance, and she seems suspicious of Misty’s story almost immediately.

Yellowjackets Season 3’s “Clear Answers” Hint Has To Connect To The Pit Girl, Right?
Yellowjackets co-creator Ashley Lyle has teased “clear answers” to two major questions in season 3, one of which could be the pit girl’s identity.
Mari is, of course, right to be wary of Misty; Misty is lying about Crystal disappearing, and she is actually responsible for the other girl’s death. If Mari continues taunting Misty about Crystal — or worse, discovers the truth about what happened between the two girls — there’s little doubt Misty will be pushing for her death in Yellowjackets. She could even help orchestrate it, ensuring that her darkest secrets die with Mari in the pit.
