Fans over on Twitter agreed that this Taissa moment was completely spooky. @ripleysdaya was succinct: "Taissa is freaking me out. Get her away from mirrors." Meanwhile, @betidoitbetter couldn't quite handle Taissa in general, saying, "Adult Taissa literally spooks the s*** outta me. She's just too unpredictable for me." Some fans can't even physically watch these moments, like @figletfaba: "All right. No spoilers, but these mirror scenes of Taissa's scare the crap out of me. I mean. I have to close my eyes then I have to rewind and force myself to watch so I don't miss anything."
So why is this moment even included, and why is it so important? It all comes down to one thing: Van, played in adulthood by Lauren Ambrose. When Taissa and Van were teens (at which time Van is played by Liv Hewson) stranded in the woods after their plane crash, they struck up a romance and are still uniquely bonded by the time they spent in the wilderness. This all leads to Taissa's mirror double saying, "go to her," pretty clearly referencing her former paramour.
