The most crucial pieces of the puzzle began to set up in season 3 of “The White Lotus”. plot happens in White Lotus wellness resort in ThailandWhere key players are currently at the dawn of their arcs before the bloody and culminating final of the season. As we are already aware that things will end with several shots and at least one corpse, this is one more reason to have special attention to Gaitok (Thapthimthong’s Thapthimthong), which managed to recover his firearm officially mandated in the previous episode.

I know what you think: Gaitok is not the type to shoot on someone, even less to kill them, because it intrinsically lacks the instinct of being violent (even in self -defense). However, episode 7 casts a doubt about this assured belief, as we see Mook (Lalisa Manobal, known as the Lisa of Blackpink) Forget it several times to harden and finally express its disappointment in its non -violent position. Will Gaitok finally fall for pressure when his back is in a hurry against the wall?
The interior conflict of Gaitok dates back to a single incident incident. In episode 2, he tries and fails to prevent a flight in one of the luxury stores of the hotel, the authors who managed to injure him before escaping. At first glance, the flight seems random: two masked guys enter the premises in a car while the Valentin health mentor (Arnas Fedaravičius) chats with Gaitok then peels off in their vehicle after a skirmish. Inside the store, they hold Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) and the seller associated with the threat of a firearm and steal some trinkets, including an expensive snake neck. Gaitok’s inability to prevent this flight is almost expensive from the white lotus, but the owner of the Sritala hotel (Lek Patavadi) decides to give it another chance.

With his security pistol stolen at one point (although he fortunately manages to recover it), Gaitok has had a fairly difficult period lately. However, he discovered the cause of his misery during a fighting match, allowing him to silently reconstruct the truth about the flight and identify the exact persons involved. Episode 7 also confirms our longtime suspicions on the incident, which still complicates what could happen in the final. Let’s break down all of this.

In episode 7, Gaitok and Mook make their first appointment while attending a fighting match that teased throughout the episode. Although Mook has been presented so far as a well -intentioned character, his motivations feel strangely unidimensional, throwing doubts about his true nature. Is she really a sweet person cares about a gaitok? Or is it pretending to hide a ulterior motive? The sharp insistence of Mook to embrace violence in the context of life feels a little bizarre, especially when Gaitok is so torn by its innate nature.

But things become interesting when Gaitok sees Valentin with his friends Aleksei (Julian Kostov) and Vlad (Yuri Kolokolnikov) among the public of the same fighting match. Everything is suddenly logical: Aleksei and Vlad correspond perfectly to the construction and appearance of masked thieves, while the Valentin association with them suggests that it was not an accident that he distracted Gaitok during the flight.
But it could simply be a poorly placed hypothesis from Gaitok, right? Well, this intuition is confirmed once we have witnessed the fiasco which occurs with Laurie (Carrie Coon) after meeting Aleksei the same night. At the beginning, Aleksei turns a questionable bloody story on a sick mother and trivially asks Laurie to help her with a sum of disproportionate money. Although Laurie is slowly refusing, he continues to harass her, proving that her intentions were always from Rob Laurie and her friends in one way or another. The magnitude of this program is revealed once an angry woman (who is probably her girlfriend) faces Aleksei just after, inciting Laurie to sneak and escape before she is caught. It was at this moment that her eyes land on the neck tower in hidden gold with the other tricked trinkets in Aleksei’s room.

Now that Gaitok is on thieves and Laurie is partly aware of trio regimes, will these developments have an impact on the final significantly? The answers remain vague. Although Gaitok seems firm as for his disinterest in regulating things with violence, any combination of factors could return this feeling on his head, in particular with so much play. Conversely, the shots of the first of season 3 could be linked to a completely different character: Jon Gries’ Greg / Gary, who deserves to be struck with karmic reprisals For his crimes (which would also honor the overall theme of the current season).
