Watching TV with your spouse hits a little differently for actor Jason Ritter, whose wife Melanie Lynskey plays the violent Shauna on the Showtime thriller Yellowjackets.

Ritter told us that he was chilled by the March 28 episode, in which Shauna tracked down her one-time lover Melissa (guest star Hilary Swank) and engaged in a wilderness-esque activity. Shauna took a bite out of Melissa’s arm and forced her to chomp on her own flesh.
