‘White Lotus’ Star’s Revenge on Duke is Savage!

by

As a cinephile who values the suspense and surprise that comes with watching a series unfold, I felt compelled to issue a friendly warning: If you haven’t yet caught up with the thrilling finale of ‘The White Lotus‘ Season 3, I strongly suggest you watch it through your trusty Max subscription without any spoilers lurking around. Enjoy the unraveling mystery!

In simpler terms,

The third season of “The White Lotus” wrapped up in the 2025 TV lineup, revealing which characters left their Thai vacation in a tragic way – sealed within a body bag. Remarkably, all members of the Ratliff family survived (although Lochlan had a close call), and it’s safe to say that those at Duke breathed a sigh of relief. Following criticism this season for wearing college paraphernalia, it appears Jason Isaacs had the final say in the end.

During his vacation, Timothy Ratliff faced numerous challenges since he kept secret from his family that he was involved in illicit business dealings back home, which could lead to them losing everything. Throughout the week, Jason Isaacs’ character wore a T-shirt displaying his former school’s name, and Duke expressed disapproval, stating that “The White Lotus” had overstepped by linking Timothy with the university. Consequently, it’s safe to assume they weren’t pleased with Isaacs’ clothing choice at the finale event on Sunday.

Indeed, Jason Isaacs didn’t shy away from displaying his Duke Blue Devils T-shirt at the finale event for HBO’s The White Lotus in Westlake Village, California on April 6. It’s safe to assume that no one doubted he was merely expressing his allegiance to the men’s basketball team, given they were ousted from the NCAA Tournament the day prior, wouldn’t you agree?

Instead of Timothy Ratliff’s illicit transactions that appeared to irritate Duke officials, it was his reaction to discovering his wealth had vanished that seemed problematic. In a vivid scene depicting him wearing a Duke shirt, Tim ponders suicide, hesitating only when he considers the distress his death would cause his wife and daughter. This then leads him to ponder the idea of harming his family before ending his own life.

Frank Tramble, Duke University’s Vice President for Communications, Marketing, and Public Affairs, issued a statement explaining that the logo was utilized without authorization. He further stated that in their perspective, it is employed on problematic imagery which does not align with their values or their true identity, and it exceeds acceptable boundaries.

The main member of the Ratliff family persisted in donning a Duke shirt, seemingly not having brought many other clothing options for sleepwear. This was evident even in the finale, where he came close to poisoning his family with fruit from a tree associated with suicide. Interestingly, he wasn’t wearing the Blue Devils shirt during that particular scene. However, Tim permitted his spouse and eldest two children to taste the potentially lethal pina coladas before he reconsidered and knocked the drink out of Saxon’s hand.

If Duke’s administrators are feeling any discontent, they might want to express their embarrassment over the actions of one of their alumni, who failed to clean out a blender containing suicide tree fruit. It seems that the risk of spoiled coconut milk wasn’t enough to persuade a teenage boy to clean the dish and instead he used it for a protein shake without properly washing it first. Lochlan certainly has some questionable judgment when it comes to decision-making.

It’s likely that the university is relieved now that the latest season of “The White Lotus” has concluded, as everyone recovers from the absence of standout character Aimee Lou Wood as Chelsea and her vengeful partner Rick (Walton Goggins). Naturally, we’re already pondering where Season 4 might take place and which characters from “The White Lotus” we’d like to see return. In the meantime, we can revisit the first three seasons of Mike White’s series by streaming them on Max.
