The hangovers are real, the secrets are simmering, and the lies are piling up. That’s the state of affairs at “The White Lotus” this Sunday, as the fallout from the Full Moon party continues to ripple through the resort. In “Denials,” the sixth episode of Season 3, everyone’s trying to forget – or at least pretend to forget – the events of the previous night.
Laurie, feeling thoroughly betrayed by Jaclyn, is having none of it. Saxon, meanwhile, is desperately trying to suppress the memories of whatever questionable choices he made under the influence of the full moon. And just when things couldn’t get any more complicated, Belinda’s son shows up at the absolute worst possible moment. Is it to visit mommy? Is he there for the free buffet? Or does he have some other agenda entirely?
Elsewhere, Chloe finds herself fielding awkward questions from her boyfriend, hinting at trouble in paradise (or, in this case, a very expensive resort). Rick, predictably, continues his charade with Sritala, raising some serious questions about his morals (or lack thereof). As the title suggests, denial is the name of the game this week. But in the pressure cooker environment of “The White Lotus,” the truth, like a bad sunburn, always comes out eventually. Tune in to HBO this Sunday, March 23rd at 9:00 PM.
