In the fifth and sixth episodes of "The White Lotus" Season 3, the story takes a controversial turn as brothers Saxon and Lochlan engage in incestuous behavior. The narrative crosses boundaries while highlighting the consequences of their actions during a night of partying and drug use. Discussions among the characters revolve around the blurred lines of consent and family dynamics, leading to uncomfortable revelations. Executive producer David Bernad emphasizes that such storylines serve a larger thematic purpose rather than solely eliciting shock.
"That was my little brother. That was a joke. You guys forced us," he adds, referring to how Chloe and Chelsea kissed before Chloe gestured that the brothers should kiss too.
"I don't think there's a drug in the world that would make me get with my brother," Chelsea says regarding the implication of the brothers' actions.
"Everyone has their thing. It's fine," Chloe attempts to reassure a flustered Saxon, indicating the fluidity of relationships portrayed.
"No, in terms of that - that's all [creator Mike White]. Mike is brilliant, and I think those big story turns are not just for shock," Bernad mentioned regarding the storyline.
