Source-derived summary

"Saints" is the sixth episode of the American thriller drama television series Yellowjackets. The episode was written by supervising producer Chantelle M. Wells, and directed by Bille Woodruff. It originally aired on Showtime on December 19, 2021.

The series follows a New Jersey high school girls' soccer team that travels to Seattle for a national tournament in 1996. While flying over Canada, their plane crashes deep in the wilderness, and the surviving team members are left stranded for nineteen months. The series chronicles their attempts to stay alive as some of the team members are driven to cannibalism. It also focuses on the lives of the survivors 25 years later in 2021, as the events of their ordeal continue to affect them many years after their rescue. In the episode, Natalie tries to get the $50,000 to meet with the blackmailer, while Taissa faces challenges after choosing to stay in the Senate race. Flashbacks depict Lottie's struggle when she believes she is receiving visions, while Taissa attempts to help Shauna with an abortion.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.289 million household viewers and gained a 0.06 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “episode of Yellowjackets” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q130716176. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2021 and 1996.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
