NY Post
Hilary Swank was equally surprised to learn that her character would knock off one of the biggest stars in “Yellowjackets.”
Warning: Spoilers for Season 3 below!
The Oscar-winning actress spoke to The Post about her ruthless kill scene in Season 3, Episode 9, titled “How the story ends,” at the finale event in North Hollywood, California, on Thursday, April 10.
Her character, adult Melissa, does the unthinkable and stabs adult Van (played by Lauren Ambrose) in the chest during a heated confrontation.
As Van takes a knife and is ready to plunge it into her former “Yellowjackets” teammate, her conscience kicks in.
Van, who is already suffering from incurable cancer, decides at that moment that she can’t kill Melissa — despite their dark past as cannibals in the wilderness.
