So to have this episode end with something as simple-seeming as a still-birth felt like a missed opportunity. After all the high-stakes build-up of Shauna being pregnant in the woods with little to sustain herself on, let alone a growing fetus, it was a given that the baby would likely not make it. I was almost (and I can't even believe I'm about to type this) disappointed. On first watch of 'Qui,' which translates from French to English as 'who,' I came away thinking that the episode wasn't as wild and crazy as it was posited to be. And two, because Shauna's baby does not, as we now know, live through childbirth. And, contrary to the incestuous stretch of a theory tossed around on Reddit and elsewhere, Adam (Peter Gadiot) does not end up being the grown-up version of the baby either. We've known that Shauna was pregnant - and that the father of the baby is her best friend Jackie's (Ella Purnell) boyfriend, Jeff (Jack DePew/Warren Kole) since Season 1, but the fate of that baby has rested on the musings of our own imaginations.īased on what we know of adult Shauna's (Melanie Lynskey) life, she only has one living child, Callie (Sarah Desjardins) who - being that she's in high school - is much younger than 'wilderness baby' would be had it been brought back from the cabin they were stranded in over 25 years ago.
