Season 3, episode 1 of The White Lotus captures a blend of humor and suspense, highlighting characters Laurie, Kate, and Jaclyn as they indulge in gossip. As they navigate their trip in Thailand, ominous foreshadowing hints at potential murders throughout the season, including a wild—and somewhat humorous—theory about monkeys being involved. Series creator Mike White expertly intertwines moments of levity with underlying tension, ensuring viewers are kept guessing about the unfolding drama as nature seemingly influences the story, shaping outcomes in unexpected ways.
There's series creator Mike White's numerous shots of the monkeys surrounding Thailand's White Lotus hotel. Plus, you should really watch season 3's opening credits sequence again.
In all seriousness—episode 2 does present a few more traditional suspects behind the inevitable murder this season. Remember, episode 1 makes it sound like there's a killer on the loose.
The girls trip consisting of Laurie, Kate, and Jaclyn are gossiping about each other so damn much that their shit-talking literally bookends this episode.
Oh, and how about some foreshadowing: After Laurie bangs on the screen door at the beginning of the episode, Kate remarks, 'I thought it was a monkey!'
There’s a chance we may end up with multiple corpses at the end of season 3.
