On tonight’s new episode of The White Lotus issues are beginning to get a bit intense for a number of of us. Some we positively noticed coming, however that connection that Gaitok began to piece collectively was a shock to me.
Rick has had an ulterior motive since arriving in Thailand – revenge for his father’s homicide. When he finds out that he can be at The White Lotus lodge he decides to remain there hoping to get an opportunity to see the person, Jim, who killed his father nose to nose. Seems he wasn’t there; he was staying in Bangkok. As a lot as Chelsea tried, Rick was decided to get to Bangkok and left for a number of days.

He was clearly determined for this closure. When he concocted this plan to have his pal Frank (er Steve?) fake to be a director taken with working with Jim’s spouse, nothing was including up. Frank, I imply Steve, knew nothing about Sritala’s work and stumbled by way of all of the questions she had for him. By some miracle, it labored out and Rick was capable of get Jim alone to speak (extra like kill him). As soon as alone, Rick instructed him all the things and Jim had no thought what he was speaking about. I assumed for positive Rick was going to shoot him proper then and there, however one thing stopped him.
Jim regarded genuinely confused which made me marvel how positive Rick was that this was the person that killed his father. For now, it appears knocking the outdated man down was sufficient closure for him.

Zion satisfied his mom to go to the occasion Greg invited her to and he or she immediately regrets it. Whereas there, Greg asks to talk to her privately. He offers her a type of quid professional quo; he’ll give her $100,000 if she agrees to not let anybody know the place he’s. Except you ask him then, he’s giving her cash to begin her enterprise and he can be left alone.
Zion needs her to take the cash however Belinda isn’t having it. The repercussions can be far worse if she does and he or she is one way or the other carried out in Tanya’s dying and Greg’s (very apparent) involvement. I don’t know what I’d do in her scenario, however like Zion mentioned, $100K is some huge cash.
That pal group that completely hates one another appears to lastly be executed pretending. Laurie remains to be feeling some type of betrayal after Jaclyn sleeps with Valentin. They’ve been taking jabs at one another and the divide is occurring. Kate, for now, appears to be extra on Jaclyn’s facet, however attempting onerous to play Switzerland.

Laurie steps away from the 2 of them and heads over to a muay thai combat the place she meets up with Valentin and his pals. Gaitok and Mook are additionally there; when Gaitok glances over at Valentin and his pals, one thing begins to click on and remembers considered one of them vividly through the theft. Shortly after Valentin was there and he made it seem to be he didn’t know them, it’s apparent now that he did. Was Valetin concerned the whole time?
Laurie hooks up with Aleksei – they gave the impression to be hitting it off the whole night time, however then issues received bizarre after. Him asking her for cash was most likely not what Laurie was anticipating for pillow speak. I’m sorry, you’re asking me to wire you cash and also you barely know me? That’s suspicious. As Laurie is attempting to navigate this bizarre dialog, there’s a loopy knock on the door from some girl trying to converse with Aleksei – Laurie barely manages to flee and earlier than she does, she notices a stash of bijou – I would guess that was from the theft.

Timothy must get a deal with of his ideas or get some assist. Issues are getting uncontrolled. I don’t suppose Victoria and Saxon are making issues any simpler – which is why we see him “shoot” them earlier than himself. Might this additionally imply he doesn’t need them to endure when he’s going so he’s taking them with him? Both method, he must determine one thing out quick.
