Samantha Hanratty Talks Misty, Crystal, and *That* 'Yellowjackets' Scene
centers on the show’s stark exploration of trauma and the more gruesome, stomach-churning scenes, the Showtime series is also a showcase of complex female friendships. In, resident misfit Misty, played in her teens by Samantha Hanratty, finds a kindred spirit and new bestie in one of her fellow stranded teammates, Crystal . Their relationship changes forever in episode 5, when Misty finally opens up about why the high school soccer team hasn't been rescued from the wilderness.
Marie Claire: I want to start with the evolution of Misty over the past two seasons. What was your opinion of her when you first heard the character description and read the pilot script? How has your perception of her grown or changed?[In the beginning] I was like, 'There's something a little weird with this gal.' But for the most part I had no idea where we were going with her.
MC: One great thing about episode five was seeing Misty and Crystal slowly crossing these taboos. You get the Kevorkian conversation first and then them revealing all of the “horrible” things they've done. It's this really honest friendship, and then Misty's Misty, so she goes too far.I thought that walking in on your parents [having sex] and not being grossed out by it was a little too far, never mind how far [Misty] went.
MC: Do you think Misty's decision to tell Crystal about destroying the black box was impulsive? Or do you think she was honestly thinking,I think it's both. I think Misty literally lives off of compulsions. She just does what she wants in the moment without thinking of any repercussions. She tries to be analytic about things, but when that little girl excitement comes out, she can't help herself. It's the same thing with the black box.
