Tragically, Jackie Taylor died from hypothermia while sleeping outdoors after a quarrel with her best friend Shauna Shipman (portrayed by Yellowjackets cast member Sophie Nélisse as a young person and Melanie Lynskey as an adult in the series).
At first, Yellowjackets leads viewers to believe that Shauna is reconciling with Jackie and everything is going to be alright, showing a cozy cabin scene with hot chocolate. It's clear that this isn't reality when the deceased Laura Lee appears, leaving viewers to wonder if this is a nightmare or Jackie's last thoughts before her death. In real life, Shauna wakes up the following day to realize it had snowed the night before and is horrified to remember that Jackie is still outside in the freezing cold. She runs out to her but it's too late. Jackie is already gone.

Speaking on Jackie's death, showrunner Ashley Lyle told Deadline  "There’s certainly the symbolism aspect where if Jackie ultimately represents the societal structures that they become accustomed to, that they were socialized with back in the 'civilized' world, that truly and definitively falling away is going to be very meaningful for these characters. On an emotional and person level, there is arguably a certain amount of complicity that not just Shauna but the entire team has in her death—this ultimately unavoidable tragedy."
