This piece contains spoilers for Yellowjackets Season 2. If you haven't watched yet, catch up with our Story So Far.
Ever since he first appeared in Yellowjackets Season 1, fans have been haunted by the memory of the show's most eerie figure, known only as the Man with No Eyes. The creepy apparition, played by Brahm Taylor, wears a black suit and first showed up at the very moment that Tai's grandmother (BJ Harrison) died. While the elderly woman screamed and thrashed, a very young Tai (Bailey Burr) caught a brief glimpse of the pale-faced, eyeless figure in the mirror. Though his appearances have been few and far between — especially in Season 3 — he's clearly a key figure as he features in the opening credits each week and, as Episode 3 hints, is apparently behind Tai's wilderness sleepwalking. So, with that in mind we're here to ask just who the Man with No Eyes is and what he means for Tai and the rest of the girls as they try to survive the wilderness and adulthood.
As Season 2 begins, the Man with No Eyes is nowhere to be seen outside of the split-second glimpse in the opening credits. But in Episode 2, Tai glimpses him as she sleepwalks through the forest towards the edge of a cliff. It's a dangerous but intriguing moment because it once again leans into the subjective nature of Yellowjackets that we discussed in last week’s deep-dive.
If the Man With No Eyes is behind Night-Tai's behavior, he's left us some interesting breadcrumbs to investigate. He seems to veer between using Tai as a puppet and trying to kill her. We first saw this in her strange behavior around Sammy, but why would the Man With No Eyes want her to watch her son from a tree? Sammy had been drawing eerie images that featured eyes and alluded to Night-Tai, and it was clear from the way that he talked that he saw Tai and her alter-ego as separate entities. Perhaps he was getting too close to the truth about Tai's troubles and the Man With No Eyes decided to have Night-Tai watch him as a way of keeping tabs or potentially just to scare him out of talking.
Night-Tai’s choice to sacrifice the family dog in her basement is one of the most interesting clues. The way that the show presented the reveal to us hinted that Tai's Senate win was connected to the sacrifice. If that's the case, then that makes the Man With No Eyes' involvement even more intriguing. Why would an apparition have any interest in the political machinations of the US in the modern day?
While Tai has been at the center of our delusion discussions, we can't bring them up and not mention that Lottie has been suffering from them too. Though Lottie doesn't and hasn't (as far as we know) seen the Man with No Eyes, she has been struggling with horrifying visions of her own. In Episode 2 we saw her memory of Travis' death which included ...
At Lottie's "intentional community" she shows Nat her bees and alludes to the similarities between the hive and the girls' desperation to survive in the wilderness. She claims that eating their own was nothing but nature and survival much to Nat's disgust. But later she finds her bees are all dead, blood covering the hives, and bee carcasses all over the hives. It's deeply traumatic for Lottie who clearly cares about the creatures and is horrified by the violence someone enacted. Until she realizes it's not real and the bees and hives are actually fine thanks to one of her "campers" snapping her out of her vision. Before she can come out of it fully though she hears the woman say "il vuet du sang," meaning "he wants blood." Is "he" The Man with No Eyes, or someone else entirely?
Visions and dreams of dead animals can mean many things including representing underlying feelings of dread and grief (which of course Lottie has in spades) but they can also be said to represent "a forthcoming evil." Could that be what Lottie is sensing here? Something worse on the horizon? Or perhaps the bees are a more literal representation of the Yellowjackets and their fate meaning that the survivors are in grave danger. Whatever Lottie's vision means, the fact that more than one of the crew are still having visions is likely connected. Could the man with no eyes perhaps be preparing all the survivors for the horrors to come? Or maybe he's even connected to the symbol in the forest? After all that's where he leads Tai time and time again...
It's clear that the lack of answers around the Man with No Eyes and his impact on Tai is intentional, as Lyle explained that it's not just us who are in the dark about his relevance. "I think what he represents is 'the unknown' and the unknown is something that Taissa is very uncomfortable with as a character," Lyle shared. And we will dig further into that."
