Less than a week remains until fans of The White Lotus finally discover how the third season concludes, set this time at an exotic resort in Thailand. Throughout the previous episodes, the show has hinted that a whole new roster of characters might fall victim to creator Mike White’s unpredictable writing, and the drama could escalate far beyond what we’ve seen in the first two seasons.
While the finale is set to air on April 6, a recently released trailer from HBO teases some shocking twists that fans can expect.
Timothy Ratliff’s Disturbing Thoughts Could Become Reality
This season has closely followed the inner turmoil of Timothy Ratliff, a businessman played by Harry Potter star Jason Isaacs. After learning that his career may be over, the camera often lingers on his increasingly dark thoughts. What starts as fleeting contemplation of suicide escalates, with Timothy later considering murdering his wife — and even his children.
In the latest trailer, we see a smoothie blender and, earlier, Timothy examining poisonous fruit from a tree on the resort’s grounds. This combination suggests that, instead of resorting to a gun, Timothy might go through with his deadly plan using another, more subtle method.
Sam Rockwell’s Cameo Could Have a Much Bigger Impact Than Expected
Many fans assumed that Oscar-winning actor Sam Rockwell’s appearance in The White Lotus would be limited to just one episode this season. However, his brief role has grown in significance with each new episode — and his character’s actions in the finale could influence the outcome of the entire series.
In the trailer, Rockwell’s character, Frank, is shown in an unusual state of agitation, either smashing things in a fit of rage or desperately searching for something. In the previous episode, he unexpectedly broke his own rule about drinking alcohol, and now he may turn on his friend Rick, accusing him of being the reason his life has spiralled out of control once again.
