The Yellowjackets season 1 finale, titled “Sic transit gloria mundi” feels like it’s going to give us the reveal of the tribal leader of the girls during the lost-times that’s been teased. Why? It’s not just because it makes sense as a note to end the first season on and teasing what’s happening in the second season: but because of the title of the episode. The title, which “Thus passes the glory of the world,” was used during the coronation of popes during 1409 and 1963, seems to signify that we’ll get the story of how the stranded Yellowjackets found their leader, which seems to mark the transition from the mostly-peaceful era we’ve seen to the cannibalistic era that’s been teased out. Plus, present-day story for the season finale, though — a high school reunion — looks like it should be a perfect way to tie into such a reveal. No time like a reunion for an old face you haven’t seen in ages to return.  Here’s everything you need to know to watch the Yellowjackets finale online. You can also get ready for the next season with everything we know about Yellowjackets Season 2. And once you’re done, we’ve got all the help you’ll need to cancel your Showtime account.
