After Hawaii and Sicily, the latest outing of the black comedy shifted focus to the hotel chain’s luxury Thai resort. We're yet to see how the finale unfolds, but there's plenty of potential identities for the season opener's dead body.
The latest season checked in a new eclectic group of guests to Thailand's White Lotus resort. The core focus is around the Ratliff family headed up by Jason Isaacs’ businessman Timothy and his heavily medicated wife Victoria (Parker Posey). They're travelling with their three children; sons Saxon (Patrick Schwarznegger – yes, that Schwarznegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola) and daughter Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook).
There’s also three gal pals – Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan), Laurie (Carrie Coon) and Kate (Leslie Bibb) – reuniting for a trip after Laurie’s recent divorce, and age-gap odd couple Rick (Walton Goggins) and Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood). While Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya wasn't around this season, there's familiar faces in the form of season one’s spa manager Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) and a certain mysterious (ex)husband.

The White Lotus season 3, episode 7 recap
With Frank distracting Sritala, watching some of her old movies, Rick confronts Jim in his study. Rick threatens him, delivers a "you killed my father" speech, but ultimately merely shoves him from his chair, having second thoughts when confronted with the frail, elderly man in front of him.
At Greg's party, Saxon confronts Timothy about his behavior, attempting to guilt him in to telling the truth by emphasizing how much the job, and money, mean to him. Elsewhere at the party, Greg offers Belinda $100,000 for her silence, insisting its the money that Tanya once promised her. Tempted though she is, Belinda refuses.
With the previous night still fresh in memory, Kate, Jaclyn and Laurie argue, with Laurie leaving them to head to a Muay Thai fight with Valentin and his friends. While there, Gaitok - also attending, on a date with Mook - recognizes Valentin's friends as the armed robbers from earlier in the season.
After the fight, Laurie gets intimate with Valentin's friend Aleksei, but afterwards, is disappointed to discover a) he slept with her to try and get money from her and b) he has a girlfriend, who arrives home at quite the wrong time.
As the episode concludes, Timothy once again considers killing himself, and his family, but when he goes to get the hidden gun, it's missing.
With only the bumper length finale to go, who will be the floating face down in the pond by the time all is said and done?
