Of course, Lyle also didn’t reveal what we can expect from the upcoming episode, but it could very well be centered around a cast that was announced back in December but never actually appeared onscreen: Jason Ritter (Dion’s upbringing). Since the actor is the main star Melanie Lynskeyhusband - did not appear in any of the nine episodes, most likely we will see him in the upcoming bonus episode.

There’s also the possibility that this new episode deviates from the series’ format, as the show’s creators decided to separate it from the rest of the series. It could be presented from another character’s point of view, or maybe refer to some of the mysteries and events that took place in last week’s season finale. In any case, we’ll have to wait until Lyle or Bart Nickerson break their radio silence again so we can find out.

yellow jackets tells the story of a group of girls who manage to survive a plane crash in the middle of a forest in the mid-90s. At the same time, he follows a group that managed to escape this forest, but they refuse to reveal to the world what happened while they were stranded.
