Spoilers under for anybody who hasn’t caught up with The White Lotus Season 3 on HBO or with a Max subscription, so be warned!
Despite the fact that it appears like we simply pulled as much as the welcome dock at The White Lotus’s Ko Samui resort, and someway our erotically disturbing and stress-swept journey has just one final leg to go in the course of the 2025 TV schedule within the type of the Season 3 finale, “Amor Fati.” So many storylines must be wrapped up within the installment, which will probably be round 90 minutes in size, with the thriller shooter scenario nonetheless the largest query mark.
However earlier than it could actually all get laid out for us in full for an additional delightfully twisted night time of HBO programming, let’s make just a few weighted guesses about what positively gained’t occur earlier than the finale’s credit roll, in addition to a few issues that seemingly will.
Undoubtedly Will not Occur: Gary Reveals That He Really Is 100% Harmless Of Every part That Was Ever Suspected Of Him
To see actor Jon Gries in interviews and in lighter roles from his profession, and it is virtually stunning how shortly he turns into the guiltiest-looking particular person within the room whereas within the function of The White Lotus‘ name-switching Gary. By all three seasons thus far, the slow-moving character has earned the ire of each Tanya-adoring viewer, however all with out the present each absolutely proving him to be a black widower wrongdoer.
His rationalization to Belinda in Episode 307 virtually appeared prefer it might have been sincerely true, if solely it had been uttered by anybody else however Gary. I do not absolutely suspect that creator Mike White will tip his hat 100% within the course of Gary’s guilt, however I’m solely satisfied that the present will not wrap up this storyline by revealing that Gary-as-Greg has never executed something incorrect or put anybody else in peril, and that his well being points have been solely genuine. Not gonna occur.
In all probability Will: Tim Retains The Household In Thailand As A Fugitive
The White Lotus has been virtually uncomfortably content material with exhibiting audiences precisely what it will appear to be if Jason Isaacs’ stress volcano Tim murdered his complete household earlier than turning a weapon on himself. (To the disgust of Duke representatives, amongst others.) However even when Gaitok hadn’t already stolen the gun again with out Tim’s information, I nonetheless do not suppose it is within the Southern-bred pill-popper’s nature to exit on such a sordid and headline-making word.
As a substitute, I believe Tim will come to the belief that his finest try and keep away from all of his authorized troubles and monetary woes stateside is to keep away from going again house altogether, together with his household essentially staying close to to keep away from their very own investigations. Granted, all of their belongings have seemingly been frozen, and I doubt any of them are protecting large money baggage round, nevertheless it’s far simpler to check Tim embracing Buddhist minimalism than to image him choosing murder-suicide.
Undoubtedly Will not Occur: Laurie Makes Three Smart Selections In A Row That Profit Her Psychological Well being, Job Life, And Friendship Decisions
I believe everyone knows somebody like Laurie who appears to solely make the sorts of selections they know they’ll remorse later. Even when that assumption is essentially influenced by Jaclyn and Kate’s smack-talk, Carrie Coon’s character actually hasn’t tried to buck their expectations in any respect, together with her ill-considered sexual conquest as the most recent instance.
Granted, I believe that festering resentment stems from her having beforehand been in love with Jaclyn’s husband, and that the latter’s infidelity reopened a few of Laurie’s outdated wounds. Regardless, The White Lotus’ finale will most positively not characteristic a good-decision montage through which Laurie completely elevates her sunny disposition, makes the absolute best job change, and finds a set of latest buddies whom she doesn’t harbor ailing ideas in direction of. I believe she’s caught in her unfortunate-but-relatable good friend triangle for the lengthy haul.
In all probability Will: Jim Hollinger Fucks Rick’s World All Up
Recent off of enjoying Vince Vaughn’s father in Dangerous Monkey, Scott Glenn entered the monkey-focused White Lotus as a nasty man answerable for killing another person’s father. (Inconceivable to typecast this man.) However regardless of Jim Hollinger arrival being prefaced with allusions to well being issues, and regardless of the efficiency feeding into that, Glenn isn’t the actor one casts to flinch and cower and fail to reply when one other man pushes his chair over.
No, Glenn is the dude who will get solid to point out up out of nowhere and rain premature hell onto whoever is most deserving. And with Rick using Sirita to search out her hubby, she is aware of precisely the place he’ll be going after leaving Bangkok. I absolutely consider that Jim faked his feebleness extra convincingly than Sam Rockwell’s Frank faked being a film director, and that he will return within the finale to brutally wipe the contented smile from the face of Walton Goggins’ character. And that Aimee Lou Wooden’s scene-stealing Chelsea will be superb because it all goes down.
Undoubtedly Will not Occur: Saxon And Lochlan Discover Their Incestuous Emotions By way of Household Assembly
Maybe The White Lotus’ largest shocker got here when Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Saxon proved himself to be a three-dimensional human within the aftermath of getting freaky to the deaky with Lochlan. That stated, the ego-maniac got here to the self-realization that he’s however a hollowed-out husk with out the reliable comforts of a rich hetero way of life, whereas Lochlan didn’t precisely appear very regular when visiting the temple with Piper. This trio of offspring might positively do with an limitless cycle of remedy.
That stated, I actually do not foresee Saxon and Lochlan addressing their difficult emotions head-on with one another, which makes the eventuality of all the Ratliff household speaking about their concord about as seemingly as Parker Posey’s Victoria rising a second head simply to point out off her hats. One can solely hope that studying in regards to the horrors awaiting Tim again at house utterly overshadow each single atypical second that went down on Chloe’s boat. It’s fantastic (and deserved) if he nonetheless remembers Chelsea repeatedly turning him down.
