It’s hard to believe that we are nearing the conclusion of The Hunting Party Season 1.
Bex and her team have encountered a series of dangerous serial killers, but Jenna Wells stands out as the perfect adversary for the season finale.
According to spoilers for The Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 10, Jenna Wells is revealed to be the infamous Killer Chemist, closely tied to the ominous Pit, and her therapy has driven her to even greater madness.
As this marks the season finale, there’s speculation that Jenna, also known as Inmate 0, may have links to the controversial Silo 12 experiments.
Additionally, the previous episode left viewers with unanswered questions regarding Oliver’s informant and the identity of Shane’s biological mother.
The finale promises to be action-packed as the team seeks to reveal as much as possible in anticipation of a potential renewal for a second season.
The Killer Chemist Was at the Center of the Pit
Jenna Wells appears to have played a pivotal role within the confines of the Pit.
This realization is troubling for Bex, who is uncertain about Jenna’s past, but there are indications that she could have been one of the subjects in the Silo 12 experiments.
If that assessment is correct, it’s possible that other teams might also be in pursuit of Jenna.
Known for her dangerous intellect, Jenna Wells—dubbed the Killer Chemist and Inmate 0—had a mundane facade as a pharmacy employee, which allowed her to manipulate prescriptions and execute her deadly plans without raising suspicion.
Her methods are chillingly calculated, and now it is up to Bex and her team to understand the rationale behind Jenna’s choice of victims and the psychological issues stemming from her past.
It becomes increasingly challenging to profile such calculated individuals, especially when they lack a traumatic backstory, which complicates Shane’s struggle with his own identity.
Jenna Mills Was Way More Dangerous After Her Treatment
The Hunting Party consistently introduces the killers before they enter the Pit and also examines their state of mind post-treatment.
It has become evident that the therapeutic methods employed often exacerbate the psychological issues of the inmates. The drug Bex discovered at Silo 12 likely played a significant role in Jenna’s transformation into a more violent version of herself.
While the full extent of her motivations is still unknown, Jenna has already shown her dangerous side by attacking multiple individuals and confronting someone at a social gathering, wielding a lethal weapon.
It is unclear if her actions stem from a desire for vengeance or if the treatment has stripped her of all remorse, intensifying her violent tendencies.
Though Jenna may not appear as overtly sadistic as characters like Tom Beecher, her demeanor hints at a sinister plan that threatens those around her.
As Bex and her team prepare to confront Jenna, they must tread carefully; a betrayed woman with a sharp knife can be incredibly perilous.
Will Oliver and Bex Discover the Truth About the Pit in Time?
Throughout The Hunting Party Season 1, Oliver has undergone significant character development.
While his primary aim is to demonstrate his growth to Bex, he is equally driven by a quest for the truth surrounding the Pit.
Bex and Oliver were both deeply affected by the gruesome events at Silo 12, and they hope that Colonel Lazarus will finally provide clarity about what transpired there.
However, this is uncertain as Colonel Lazarus is tightly woven into the fabric of the Pit’s operations and shows a fierce loyalty to the Attorney General, who has past ties to James Whitmore of Whitmore Sciences.
If she were to share information with Bex and Oliver, it could imply a significant shift allegiances and could potentially expose even darker secrets.
Executive producers and Nick Wechsler have hinted that while some enigmatic plotlines may find resolution by season’s end, new story arcs are set to unfold, paving the way for a possible second season.
How Is Shane’s Mother Connected to The Pit?
In Episode 9, Shane and Sarah uncovered troubling information about his birth mother, who was seen imploring Dr. Dulles to reunite with him as a child.
This suggests a link to the Pit, especially considering Dr. Dulles’s involvement in Shane’s upbringing. Was she a captive, or did she have a role in the facility?
The situation is increasingly frustrating for Shane, as the person who holds the key to his history is deteriorating with each passing moment.
Many viewers have expressed a desire for justice against Dr. Dulles for the torment he inflicted on the inmates. If he manipulated Shane’s memory, that sentiment would only deepen.
Nevertheless, the yearning for the truth can be overwhelming, and it is hoped that Shane will not suffer further trauma from discovering his past.
With NBC yet to renew any of its dramas, there is concern that if The Hunting Party wraps its season finale on a cliffhanger, it may serve as the series finale.
Many fans are eager to see more, given the lingering questions about the Pit and the series of killers that still need to be addressed.
While the show doesn’t predominantly focus on romance, a significant number of viewers are invested in the tense dynamic between Oliver, Bex, and Shane. Many are eager to see which direction Bex’s affections will eventually take.
What revelations do you hope to see from Jenna Wells in the season finale? Do you believe we will uncover the true nature of the Pit?
