What happened to Shauna\u2019s wilderness baby? That question loomed over Yellowjackets<\/a> from the moment we first learned she was with child, our curiosity growing as we watched her pregnancy belly expand \u2013 and in the drama\u2019s latest episode, the heart-rending truth was laid bare.<\/p>\n Miraculously, Shauna did not suffer a miscarriage, despite the acute stress her body was under following the plane crash. But tragically, her baby did not survive the birth, leaving Shauna bereft.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving a baby in that environment, losing the baby, and then also being forced to be stuck in the wilderness for however many months after that \u2013 it\u2019s not like you get to cry and take care of yourself, you\u2019re still fighting for survival \u2013 it\u2019s just the worst possible thing you can imagine,\u201d said Melanie Lynskey, who plays the older version of Shauna. Sophie<\/span> N\u00e9lisse stars as her young counterpart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Lynskey went on to discuss how that ordeal has shaped Shauna: \u201cIt\u2019s really informed her. I think she\u2019s been forced to ask herself a lot of questions this season about whether she\u2019s a good mother. She didn\u2019t want to have a child. She never, ever, ever wanted to put herself in that position again. And I don\u2019t know if it was that she didn\u2019t want to have to explain to Jeff what had happened, so she just ended up going along with it and having Callie, but it\u2019s really tricky because not only was she ambivalent about motherhood, but the act of being pregnant and of giving birth would have been incredibly traumatic. So how much of yourself do you shut off after that?\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cAnd I think even love is difficult for her, trusting that this little thing you just gave birth to is going to be okay. I think the whole thing has been incredibly complicated, and so she\u2019s been pushing everybody away for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n Lynskey also reflected on how Shauna feels about her teenage daughter not only knowing about her affair with Adam Martin, but also that she was the individual who killed him: \u201cI think that she feels terrible. She feels really bad about it.<\/p>\n \u201cOn the one hand, she\u2019s grateful because there are a couple of times where Callie steps in and saves her in a way. But I think it\u2019s difficult to see parts of yourself that you\u2019re not necessarily proud of be reflected in your child.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s so horrible.
