SPOILERS: This post contains details about the Yellowjackets, Season 3 episode ’12 Angry Girls and 1 Drunk Travis’ Although Tai and Van are forever trauma-bonded on Yellowjackets, some relationships are too toxic to survive.

Ahead of this week’s episode of the Showtime series, Tawny Cypress and Lauren Ambrose caught up with Deadline about their characters’ “cosmically connected” relationship in Season 3 and why “Van needs to run away.” “I think that they feed off of each other, the energy.

If one is maybe not feeling it, the other one is, and it it makes the other one feel it too. So, it’s actually a terrible relationship,” said Cypress. “Yes, it is, literally, oh my god.

Van needs to run away.” Years after surviving the wilderness as teens (played by Jasmin Savoy Brown and Liv Hewson) in the ’90s, Tai (Cypress) and Van (Ambrose) reunited in Season 2, during which it was revealed the latter has terminal cancer with months to live.
