Unseen Plot Twist: Multiple Shooters in ‘The White Lotus’?

by

As we approach the end of Season 3 for “The White Lotus,” the mystery surrounding the surprising flash-forward from the first episode remains unresolved. While we eagerly anticipate the final episodes, be it on HBO or with a Max subscription, numerous theories are swirling around about how that crucial moment will unfold. Interestingly, not many seem to be discussing my theory, which proposes that the series of events leading up to that moment could be far more intricate and difficult to predict than anyone might imagine.

It seems there could be more going on in that scene than what we witnessed, and the show appears to want us to believe it was only one person with a gun causing the enigmatic event. Although it’s not as straightforward as our hypothesis about Rick and his father, I find this theory worthy of examination as we gear up for these final episodes.

I Think There’s More Than One Shooter In The White Lotus’ Cryptic Opening Scene

It seems to me that when Mike White initiated Season 3 of The White Lotus, he may have anticipated the response many American viewers would have. Admittedly, my first thought was that the resort was experiencing an active shooting incident and everyone was on edge, scouring for a potential gunman.

The recurring focus on Gaitok’s gun throughout Season 3 suggests a deliberate attempt to draw attention away from the robbery at the start of the season and the multiple guns that exist in Thailand. In essence, the show seems to be guiding our focus onto Gaitok’s single weapon, making us overlook the existence of other firearms.

In the upcoming scene, I can’t help but notice an array of gunfire and ensuing chaos, making it hard to pinpoint the source. Given the complexity of the situation, it seems plausible that multiple guns are involved here, and possibly more than one individual is pulling the trigger in this incident. While I don’t have concrete proof, my observations lead me to speculate that, based on various theories circulating about a lone gunman, it’s worth mentioning that it’s equally possible that multiple people have guns at this resort.

I Think The Chaos Is Caused By Multiple Events Unfolding At Once

As we approach the final two episodes of Season 3 of The White Lotus, each storyline seems to be building towards a dramatic conclusion that hasn’t quite reached its peak yet. To help bring everyone up to speed, here’s a quick rundown of what’s happened so far:

  • Piper is spending the night at a Buddhist temple.
  • Saxon is coming to terms with the fact that he had a sexual encounter with Lochlan.
  • Timothy is slowly coming unglued, knowing his entire life may unravel upon returning to the United States.
  • Gaitok is trying to impress Mook but is not respected at his job.
  • Jaclyn, Kate, and Lori are all fighting after taking shots at each other all vacation.
  • Rick is in the house of the man who killed his father.
  • Greg is hosting this big dinner for various characters, including Belinda.

It seems unlikely that The White Lotus Season 3 will conclude without shedding light on whether our theories about each story are correct, yet there’s not much time left. Given this predicament, I believe the finale will feature all characters’ stories unfolding simultaneously, resulting in widespread chaos throughout the resort.

If American investigators appear at the resort seeking to interrogate Greg, who has refused to respond to interview requests following Tanya’s death, Tim perceives them as a threat and experiences a breakdown. This triggers Chelsea, who has already been through two close calls with death, causing her to seize Gaitok’s weapon and attempt to shoot Tim. Unfortunately, she misses him and hits Jaclyn instead. Although this is an invented scenario, it’s not hard to imagine such events taking place when these characters are brought together again, as they seem to be in a volatile situation that resembles a pressure cooker waiting to burst. Even the actors might find it challenging to spend all their time at the resort, so one can only imagine the tension building among these characters.

Is The Person We Expect To Use The Gun Actually Going To Be The Culprit? I Have My Doubts

Although some folks on the internet may believe that Greg intends to harm Belinda, I’ve been opposed to that theory since the beginning. It’s worth mentioning that it was suggested that Greg had Tanya murdered instead of doing it himself, which makes me question his capabilities in this regard. As for Chloe, she believes “Gary” might be capable of killing, but I remain skeptical about that as well.

Timothy is another possible suspect, but since he no longer possesses the gun, I’m uncertain if he can cause much trouble. Yet, it crosses my mind that authorities might storm the resort to apprehend the businessman and transport him back to the U.S. for trial. The presence of U.S. agents could potentially introduce more firearms into the situation.

In the later episodes, Saxon appears to be the one most likely to lose control, particularly following the brother love scene in “The White Lotus”. This show often explores peculiar family dynamics and frequently delivers surprising conclusions we don’t anticipate. At this juncture, I can only speculate that something entirely unforeseen will occur, given its history of unpredictable twists. What’s more, it seems like all the characters’ individual storylines are reaching their climax simultaneously, so I have no idea what’s coming next. However, considering the unexpected shift in the series’ theme song, I suspect whatever happens will be quite wild and make up for the change.

On Sunday evenings at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, you can catch “The White Lotus” on HBO. I’m really looking forward to finding out what happens next in Season 3, and I can’t help but wonder how the resort chain manages to keep operating given all the incidents that have taken place at their various locations.
