Given what we know about Lottie (Simone Kessell), you probably wouldn’t want to join her cult IRL. Sure, they might make and sell their own Sunshine Honey, but we’re not sure about that blood altar. But from the safety of your own home, you can now do the next best thing.
Yellowjackets Season 2, episode 7, “Burial”, featured the grown-up gang reuniting in the present day and taking part in some alternative therapies at grown-up Lottie’s wellness retreat or “intentional community” as she calls it.
Shortly after the treatments have been assigned to Taissa (Tawny Cypress), Van (Lauren Ambrose), Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), and Misty (Christina Ricci), Lottie explains she’ll be taking everyone’s phones away for total focus. She points to a little plaque on the wall behind the compound’s smoothie bar that reads “Emergency Phone Line”, saying: “You can text this landline number to whomever you think might need it.”
Yep, you guessed it: It’s a real, working number.
If you call up Lottie’s cult you’ll hear the following, automated message:
“Hello wanderer. You’ve reached Sunshine Honey’s Wellness Community. Proudly located at the former site of Camp Green Pine in majestic northern— [Garbled noises]
“Do you ever wonder where you are? Are you somewhere feeling lonely? Wandering between the who and the when or flirting with the why? If so, hello! We are here and ready to believe you. [Garbled noises]
“We’re still here and we’re still listening. Don’t be afraid to say the words that move the winds. We’ll hear you if you hear us.”
Pretty creepy, eh? You can also message the number, which prompts an automated response(opens in a new tab) inviting you to call to “start your journey”.
Stop trying to convert us, Lottie.
