Biscuit

**Biscuit** is a character on the Showtime original series *Yellowjackets*.

## Profile

Biscuit was the family dog of the Abara-Turner family - Taissa Turner, her wife Simone Abara and their son Sammy Abara-Turner.

In 2021, Taissa was in a campaign to become a state senator for New Jersey. Approximately 25 years before, she was one of the few survivors of the harrowing crash of the plane carrying the high school girls soccer team, the WHS Yellowjackets, to the nationals. 25 years later, she lives together with Simone, Sammy and Biscuit.

The stress of the political campaign begins to wear on Taissa, resulting in her spending less time with her son. One day, Sammy appears in the living room with Biscuit and asks to take to the dog to the park. Taissa agrees with Simone's urging, but the visit is cut short when Sammy hits a boy who insults Taissa based on what he heard from his parents talking about a political ad. Sometime following this, the family goes out trick-or-treating together on Halloween, with Sammy dressed as a sandwich and Biscuit dressed as a hot dog.

As Taissa grows increasingly stressed from the campaign and somebody blackmailing her and her fellow Yellowjackets survivors, she begins sleepwalking, something which she had done previously in the wilderness with disastrous consequences. Biscuit goes missing and she believes that he had gotten loose when she left a gate open during one of her sleepwalking episodes. Disturbed by the return of her sleepwalking habit, Taissa spends a night away from home, sleeping at the home of Shauna Sadecki, one of the other Yellowjacket survivors. Upon returning home, she discovers Simone and Sammy making lost dog posters. She takes Simone aside and tells her that she needs to take Sammy and go to her mother's house, that the two are no longer safe around her.

A couple days later, Simone returns home to collect some toys and other items for Sammy. While Sammy heads upstairs to his room, Simone heads downstairs to the basement. There, she discovers bloodstains on a grate to a crawlspace. Confused, she decides to investigate. Upon navigating the crawlspace, she is horrified to discover a bizarre shrine which contains Biscuit's head and heart, several unlit candles, Sammy's favorite doll with its eyes missing and a strange symbol from the wilderness painted in blood.

Following this incident, Taissa goes to an animal shelter or rescue and adopts a new dog, Steve. She is apparently entirely unaware of the truth of what she did to Biscuit. She takes the dog to Sammy's school to show to him, only for Simone to demand she get away from him. She tells her she discovered "that thing in the basement" and tells her to get help or she won't see Sammy again, or that she'll go to the press. Taissa then returns home and discovers the shrine. Sobbing, she tells Steve that she's going to do better with him.

## Trivia

* Though the head that Simone discovers on the altar in "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi" is clearly that of Biscuit, some viewers were uncertain whether the heart was also Biscuit's, or possibly that of Adam Martin, whose body was disposed of by the Yellowjackets in the same episode. In an interview with the site TVLine, showrunners Bart Nickerson and Jonathan Lisco confirmed that it was Biscuit's heart. Regarding the fate of Biscuit, the actress of adult Taissa Turner, Tawny Cypress, stated that of the *Yellowjackets* crew that "They literally told me the dog was just going to run away."
