Charna Flam Spoiler alert: This story contains spoilers from “Digestif,” the third episode of “Yellowjackets” Season 2, now streaming on Showtime. From destroying the team’s only way out of the wilderness in the past to conducting citizen detective investigations in the present, Misty Quigley’s ambitions are always an attempt to further her relationships — switching from being a misfit, and an unknowing laughingstock — and to become a vital member of the soccer team at the center of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets.” As played by actor Samantha Hanratty, in “Digestif,” teenage Misty outdoes even her Season 1 antics, with one particularly eccentric breakout moment. While the girls grapple with their latest decision, to feast on their late teammate Jackie, they prepare for the birth of Shauna’s (Sophie Nélisse) baby.
They decide to celebrate, and throw Shauna an impromptu baby shower. But with limited resources, Misty, with the guidance from her new “bestie” Crystal (Nuha Jes Izman), gives Shauna a unique gift: She decides to deliver Sally Field’s iconic graveside monologue from “Steel Magnolias.” Speaking with Variety, Hanratty reveals that she has yet to see “Steel Magnolias,” the 1989 film that inspired the baby shower’s most unconventional present.
Despite not having seen it — even now! — Hanratty watched the scene a handful of times to make sure she could combine the comedic perception of Misty with the character’s utter sincerity. Had you watched “Steel Magnolias” before you were given the script? Oh my gosh, I have not.
I have yet to watch it. I’ve only heard amazing things, and I can’t wait to watch it.
It’s a very intimidating monologue and it’s a very intimidating scene. I feel like I would have been even more nervous

When it comes to describing young Misty Quigley, the overly zealous equipment manager on the high school soccer team, Samantha Hanratty says that «a lot of her stuff is extra.» The 27-year-old breakout star adds, «She can be a very heightened human.» And what goes down at the halfway point of season 2 is an example of just that, with Hanratty revealing she was «quite giddy» when she read the script for «Two Truths and a Lie,» aware of where things were headed for Misty since the beginning of the season. During episode five, things are starting to get even more desperate for the young survivors in the past timeline. While the girls fight over what to do with Javi (Luciano Leroux), who was miraculously found at the end of the last episode and has since refused to open up about what happened to him, and Shauna (Sophie Nélisse) becomes more distraught over the impending birth of her baby, Misty finds herself caught up in a whole new problem after revealing a long-held secret about the plane crash.After Misty and her new bestie, Crystal (Nuha Jes Izman), are forced to empty the bathroom buckets, the two start confiding in each other about various secrets from their past.
