In the episode 'Hide and Seek' from The White Lotus, viewers are introduced to brewing tensions among the characters aboard a superyacht. Although the episode feels like a set-up for more chaos, moments like Jaclyn's departure from her high-maintenance persona to embrace fun reveal deeper character growth. Meanwhile, a foreboding subplot involving Timothy Ratliff and a stolen handgun builds suspense and raises questions about morality among the wealthy guests. The traditional Thai New Year celebration underscores the contrasting tones of relaxation and impending danger.
It's not that I think that Tim or anyone who loves him should die. It's just a little white-collar crime, dude - take a deep breath and remember Martha Stewart.
Showrunner Mike White nearly teases the idea himself when he sends Jaclyn, Kate, and Laurie on the run from a ragtag gang of kids armed with Super Soakers - a blissfully chaotic local Thai New Year tradition.
More menacingly, Timothy Ratliff has stolen Gaitok's handgun from the hotel security booth, but he hasn't pulled the trigger ... as he must.
Jaclyn's push for actual fun instead of the yogathon shows that even the high-maintenance character can have moments of growth.
