With just one episode left, who do you think dies in The White Lotus season 3?
The White Lotus season 3 has just one episode left. Per usual, this is when all will be revealed and viewers will finally discover who was killed, how they were killed, and why they were killed. I have had a pretty solid theory throughout this season that the Ratliff Family, though strange individuals, were there to throw us off the scent and that none of them will die. I also think that Gary is meant to be suspicious, but would be kill Belinda and end up being the cause of death two seasons in a row? Likely not. Before episode 7, I thought that Rick might succeed and kill the man he has been hunting down, Jim Hollinger, but now he has decided not to do that. Unfortunately, I think that Rick might be the one who dies after Hollinger sends people after him. He did have Rick’s father killed after all. Just a few more days and we will know the answer, but I feel that is the most likely option right now.
There are a lot of loose ends to tie up. As teased inThe White Lotusseason 3, episode 8’s trailer,every relationship and family connection in this season is at stake. The identity of the gunman in episode 1 remains a mystery as more suspects were introduced throughout the season. In episode 7, Rick confronted the man who allegedly murdered his father and decided to leave him alive, but how his time in Bangkok will affect his relationship with Chelea is unknown. Meanwhile, the Ratliff brothers are due for a talk after the Full Moon party as their father continues battling with his inner darkness.

It’s Probably Going To Be Explosive
It seems that all seven episodes ofThe White Lotusseason 3have been used to set up the stage for the last episode, which makes the finale more exciting than ever. With none of the mysteries solved, and only one episode left, the long runtime sounds like a promise thatthe episode is saving the best till the end, and hopefully, there will be answers to all the big questions viewers have been asking this season.
Linking to the previous season,Belinda and Grey/Garyconfronted their past together, with Gary offering her a choice, but how this will go down is unknown, especially when Belinda showed no interest in taking the offer. In episode 1, her son discovers a body floating. On the other hand, Gaitok recognized a familiar face at the Muay Thai match in episode 7, and his knowledge of this might put him in a dangerous position.The White Lotusfans will have to wait until Sunday to find out more, but one thing is certain:someone will come out in a body bag.
