I think I saw something at the end of last episode that gives away who the guy Goggins is looking for is

Yeah its known who the father is. Could see when he searched his photo in episode 1 and is also credited in the last episode for his voice.

two things -

one of the 3 ladies knew the nc mom, i feel like that is going to come back up at some point, especially if she's sober/off of the pills. how, and will it be significant? no idea

i saw a theory that the russian left a door open, possibly for one of his buddies to film him having sex with jaclyn (famous, rich, and married) for blackmail. the boat also obviously feels like a honeypot.

White Lotus, Inc. would bury that video in a heartbeat. It would absolutely ruin their brand if it got out their rooms weren’t secure.

To build on the poisoning theory, I think they alluded to it with the cobra bite and how they had anti-venom close by and the need to get it quickly. I know venom=/=poison but analogous.

did you not see gaitok just waltz in to the Ratliff villa? Or the Russians cruise on thru the wooden gate to rob the gift store? This might be the least secure resort on the planet

Uncle Rico throws out some cash to Belinda to keep her mouth shut and start her own spa.

Finally got to watch last night. My god

Man Schwarzenegger is the best character on the show. That dude is so funny and plays the part perfectly. His reactions in this episode were so good.

Haven't read through the thread yet but it should be good.

May be? I think it's safe to say he's a little off.

I will give a lot of the credit to our incredible DP and Director Alexander Payne .... and locations team ... we had access to some really great boarding schools in Boston. But we did put some touches of our own on it of course.
Thanks for the kind words.

Back to the Lotus talk ... Arnie's kid is killing it as others have said.

I didn't get the impression he meant sexually but more so from a connection standpoint. She's seeking a spiritual connection (not uncommon for someone that feels lost) and he's willing to ride along with that in order to have validation from her.



This is probably right but I kind of got a sexual vibe from it in the after show. I don't think she is going to be ok with it but if they are sleeping in the same room I can definitely see him making a pass at her.

Random theory to play off of that would be he makes a pass at her, gets shot down. It causes him to confess to her that he gave his brother a handy. She is completely grossed out and confronts Saxon and/or his parents about it and it causes Saxon to go on a bit of a rampage.

That said, I absolutely cracked up that he started remembering what happened in the middle of a meditation session.


Me too. As soon as they sat down to meditate I was like ok god here we go, get ready to close your eyes

I dont know if it’s been discussed but I think gaitok is secretly a bad arse. I’ve had this feeling since the heist episode when he’s talking to the Russian dude at the gate and he’s being invited to the fights. It was very suttle and slow but gaitok throws this little muaythai combo and I remember thinking oh he’s got skills. And then the gun range scene this week where he seems all to familiar with the gun




Interesting. That's the first time I've given thought to that. That would actually be a great twist.

That's not true. Some people did, but most were anti that sentiment. And I just want to point out that on page fricking 12 of this thread I brought up Lochlan staring lustfully at Saxon's arse, and also while watching him jerk off in the bathroom, and I got downvoted to shite.

But now I have been fully vindicated.


I mean on page 2 Ohiovel mentioned it was probably incest and on page 3 I said I hoped not but it was a possibility given WL crazy history. That had been brought up numerous times. I know some people didn't agree that that's what it was but for me personally I just hoped it wasn't going to happen.

Him and big tooth girl are great. Her facial expressions and looks at people after they something are hilarious.

I hadn't thought of that, but if I'll be very pleased if it turns out like Lewis Pullman's character in Bad Times at the El Royale (Quiet Vietnam vet who clicks into trained killer mode when under fire).

I didn't expect Piper to flinch when her mom suggested the sleepover challenge.


I didn’t think she flinched out of fear so much as surprise.


I didn't think that she flinched either. It was more of a surprised reaction that she is going to get the opportunity to show her mom that she would be fine there. I mentioned before, but I know a lot of people that went to the school that Hook went to in Montgomery, Montgomery Academy, and the NC family perfectly emulates the families that send their kids there. Really funny to watch.

I enjoyed this episode, but the whole "fake out" scenes are maddening though. I can't stand when movies or shows do the unreliable narrator thing. But to keep going back to that well just feels lazy.



I would generally agree, but I'm ok with it here because it makes sense for Tim to go through those things in his head considering his suicidal mindset. The opening scene is pretty much exactly how that would play out, and it made him realize that he can't do that. The second "fake-out" wasn't even really a fake-out because we know at that point that he doesn't have the gun anymore.

And I agree, Chelsea's reactions to Saxon's freak-out were absolutely hilarious.

I'm sure its been mentioned, but I feel like the Saxon is likely into incest-porn, and when they got all fricked up, his porn fetish manifested itself from his subconscious.

I was more talking about my DVs for saying it early on and was talking shite now that it's coming to fruition.
