That sound you hear is Melanie Lynskey getting Emmy buzz for her killer — and arguably series-best — turn in “Digestif,” the third episode of the second season of “Yellowjackets.”

In the episode, which aired on linear Showtime on April 9, Shauna (Lynskey) and Jeff (Warren Kole) get carjacked on their way to Colonial Williamsburg.

The series centers on Olivia "Liv" Moore, a rosy-cheeked, disciplined, over-achieving medical resident who had her life path completely mapped out.
