Following a two-year hiatus, Yellowjackets has finally returned to the small screens with Season 3. The thriller drama follows the journey of the survivors of a girls’ soccer team who find themselves stranded in the wilderness of Ontario after a tragic plane crash. While the story mostly centers around a female-dominated cast, Luciano Leroux’s Javi is one of the few male characters who managed to catch the viewers’ attention. Considering his topsy-turvy arc on the show so far, fans have wondered about Javi’s fate and if he actually died on Yellowjackets.
Here’s everything you need to know about the whereabouts of Travis’ brother in the Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson-created series.
Does Javi die on Yellowjackets and how?
Unfortunately for the admirers of Javi, the character did end up dying towards the end of Yellowjackets Season 2.
After running away from the camp to save his life in the penultimate episode of the first season, Javi manages to survive the harsh conditions of the setting, unbeknownst to his friends. However, Van and Taissa inadvertently discover his hiding place in the second installment and escort him back to the camp. Javi had actually taken refuge under a peculiar tree and was biding his time in a cavern that seemingly received heat from a nearby geothermal spring.
Nevertheless, the story of Javi’s survival ends up being a short one as he ultimately dies in Yellowjackets Season 2 Episode 8. With the team desperate to find a solution to avoid starvation, they decide to resort to cannibalism and choose Nat as a sacrifice. She understandably flees the spot in fear, only for Javi to follow her.
For the first time since his return, Javi opens up about the tree that sheltered him for months. However, his revelation is cut short when the ice beneath his feet breaks, causing him to fall into the chilled stream. Everyone watches in horror as the life oozes out of Javi’s body in the ice-cold water. Prioritizing their own survival, no one intervenes, signifying that morality is the luxury of the privileged.
