Warning: The following discussion in this article about the fifth episode of “The White Lotus” season 3 may contain upsetting content related to an attempted suicide, so reader discretion is advised.

The White Lotus dropped its latest episode last night (or in the early hours of the morning in the UK) and people have a lot to say about it.

During our recent journey to Thailand, numerous events unfolded. If you haven’t caught up on the details yet, please look away now, as we delve into potential spoilers following this picture. Proceed with caution…

The passive-aggressive friendship of Kate, Laurie and Jaclyn continued to boil over as they partied with their new Russian friends (leading to another full-frontal penis scene). Kate was made to feel like the odd one out as she wanted to go to bed but the other two pressured her into keeping the party going.

Despite urging Laurie to date Valentin, it turned out that Jaclyn was the one he eventually got romantically involved with instead.

Timothy concealed the fact that he was financially bankrupt and possibly facing arrest, and at some stage, he pointed a firearm at himself.

His wife Victoria did not react well to their daughter Piper telling them she wanted to stay in Thailand and live in a monastery for a year. At the same time, sons Saxon and Lochlan partied with Chelsea and Chloe and then kissed each other.

Belinda shared her concerns about Greg coming after her to love interest Pornchai, while Sam Rockwell made a surprise appearance as Rick’s old friend who went into great detail about his sexual exploits.

A multitude of exciting incidents unfolded during the program, leaving many viewers captivated by the unpredictable sequence of events. On the show’s Instagram page, numerous comments referred to the episode as “crazy”, “chaotic” and “unexpected”.

This episode is quite a dramatic ride with highs and lows, as one viewer described it. It’s chaotic, but entertaining, intense, captivating, suspenseful, and becoming increasingly unpredictable. In simpler terms, it’s a thrilling, emotional journey.

“This episode was wonderfully weird and crazy, yet so entertaining,” read another.

Fans on Twitter were equally thrilled with what unfolded over on X, as one enthusiast exclaimed, “HBO is really pushing boundaries here”, while another fan expressed their excitement by saying, “I think I need a Valium after that episode, oh my goodness!

There was disagreement among some people that progress had been made, as the persistent critique that season three moved too slowly persisted.

“Running circles around the plot for 5 episodes now”, said one comment on Instagram. Another said: “Waiting for more plot movement & not much to chew on.”

“When will things pick up?!” asked a viewer on Twitter/X, while another said, “We on episode 5 of 8 and it feels like nothing has even happened yet??? The ending better be worth all this lead up”.

While some viewers held a different perspective, others expressed that the initial part of the season moved slowly, but the latest episode was fast-paced. One fan commented, “The season began gradually, but this time around, it was like a rollercoaster ride.” Another viewer added, “There were rapid transitions to numerous intense scenes.

I’m a fan of the hit TV series “The White Lotus,” which airs on Sky Atlantic in the UK and streams on Sky Go and NOW. In the US, it can be found on HBO and their streaming service Max. Every Monday, I eagerly await the latest episode! Meanwhile, over in the US, they’re watching it on HBO and Max.
