In between the amazing drawings, the perfect needle drops, and everyone’s favorite new odd couple, Yellowjackets Season 2 also has many amazing visions.
A few weeks ago, we had Lottie’s (Courtney Eaton’s) weird mall hallucination, and now we have a David Lynch-esque waking daydream from the citizen detective herself, Misty (Christina Ricci).
But what exactly is happening in his vision, and what does the little morse code mean?
‘Yellowjackets’: We think we know whose body the trailer brings
What is Misty’s vision?
Misty’s vision occurs after she finally gives in to one of Lottie’s (Simone Kessell) therapists and climbs into a sensory-deprived tank. Lights out, he sees flashes of fish underwater followed by images of his new friend Walter (Elijah Wood). Then, the music started and we were full Twin Peaks mode.
As a human version of Misty’s parrot Caligula (an amazing cameo by John Cameron Mitchell) dances, we see Misty’s face in the background superimposed on a red curtain, watching as Walter parades on screen wearing a top hat. Meanwhile, cartoon sketches of a needle, an axe, and the black box of the Yellowjackets plane float over his head (remember, Misty destroyed that thing at the beginning of Season 1, after the plane crash) . After the performance, he goes into a dressing room and talks to Caligula, who calmly assures him that he is not a murderer but a closer.
After this pep talk, Misty answers a red phone on stage, a call from Walter, who begins, “I just wanted to say…” before typing a message in morse code to keypad.

What does morse code mean?
If we bring a morse code table(opens in new tab)the message is not difficult to understand:
I LOVE YOU
Because the dots and dashes are swirling around Misty’s head in the shape of a heart, and because of the fact that she and Walter clearly share a set of feelings for each other, the message itself not much of a surprise.
But after the previous little crush with Walter and leaving him at the gate of Lottie’s compound, this seems to be the moment that Misty finally admits her own feelings to herself.
What does the rest of the dream mean?
The entire sequence seems to be Misty’s subconscious giving her a pep talk. He asks Caligula if everyone sees him as a murderer, and someone desperate for love, and his response is to tell him exactly what he wants to hear.
In her own daydream, Misty is the star – and Walter, for better or (more likely) worse, is now a clear target of her affections.
