“Yellowjackets” star Tawny Cypress tells The Daily Beast’s Obsessed why the latest episode was so hard for her to film—and not just because of that final scene.
Episode 2 finds adult Taissa on the verge of a serious breakdown, as she continues to struggle with her disturbing blackouts. Determined not to fall asleep, she’s chugging coffee like it’s a part-time job. The hope is that by staying awake, Tai will be able to keep herself from, say, murdering her new pet dog and adding his head to her creepy basement altar.
Taissa then descends into her darkest place, as Simone demands that her wife start reckoning with her complete detachment from reality. But their conversation is cut short, because a dissociating Taissa ends up getting the pair into a horrible car accident. “I’m trying to definitely make a distinction between the two,” she says. “Our Taissa”—as in the adult version of the caring, selfless teen Tai in the 1990s timeline—“is disintegrating into a shadow of herself, while the other Taissa has no moral compass at all. It’s really just her doing what needs to be done, without any consequence. She's got all the strength.”
