This post contains Spoilers For “White Lotus”.

One may think that the penultimate episode of “The White Lotus” season It will push us to the deep end. Surprisingly, the seventh episode of the third season, entitled “Killer Grinsts”, chooses to ripen in tension while laying the foundation for a climate end. As we saw in the first show of the season, gunshots eventually explode inside the White Lotus resort in Thailand, followed by a shot out of the focus of a dead body floating in the water. This fateful preparation, associated with the appearance of a potential tsunami, explained that the end of the season may have one or more injuries. There is a good reason for the real fear of the lives of the numerous characters of the season, as not everyone is morally or corrupt in his heart (unlike John Greg Hunt, who does not reach anything good).

The only character that was removed from these workers in Thailand is Rick (Walton Gugs), who seeks to take revenge on his father’s death. As activation, Rick’s ideas have been permanently consumed by a vacuum, because he looks at himself as a unit that has nothing to offer to those around him. When Rick was a child, his mother was appointed Jim Holinger (Scott Glen) as his father’s killerAnd he has been carrying this heavy weight since then.

In the previous episodes, we learned that Jim is the husband of Sritala’s Sritala (Lek Patravadi), an equally trained husband, who is currently in Bangkok after recovering from a heart attack. After a long and incompatible internal scream, Rick decided to go to Bangkok and face his alleged father’s killer. To hide his real intentions, it is presented as a product While his friend Frank (Sam Rokwell) asksTo present himself as a director interested in throwing Sriala as the leadership of his movie.

Episode 7 focuses on this long -awaited meeting, which ends on an anti -climate note. However, this sabotage is very in favor of Rick’s Arch, as well as the topics of forgiveness and abandonment that has been postponed in his story so far. Let’s take a closer look at what happened.

The presence of Rick and Frank at the Holinger Palace initially leads to some comic moments, as Frank has no idea about who is Sriala and fights to answer the basic questions about his fake identity (such as the films he directed?). Things become so stressful that Frank breaks his sober sermons, as he was starting from whiskey glasses to deal with ridiculous situation. Rick, on the other hand, is anxious, but he succeeds in isolating Jim and conversation with him alone. When Jim states that his daughters had a spoiled and vibrant childhood, Rick clearly notes that the absence of a happy childhood could destroy a person’s feeling in particular. This is when Jim asks directly if he kills his father, which interacts with the old man with confused stones. Despite Rick’s angry inquiries, Jim continues to stare in a shock, as if he was unable to remember if it was an act Ask someone like Rick’s father, killing.

Only when we think Rick will shoot Jim after taking it out, kicking it back and leaving the building quickly with Frank. From a dramatic perspective, this may seem frustrating, as Jim does not confirm and does not deny his involvement, and Rick cannot prove his father. However, the importance of this turn is tremendous: Rick is a changing man now, faced the only thing that chases him forever. As Frank tells, Rick had realized that Jim might be this soothing threat, but in reality, he is just an “pity” old man who was unable to defend himself. The killing of Jim had not helped Rick to feel better, so he does the best thing: he leaves this painful luggage forever.

This unexpected conclusion of Rick’s Revenge Arc repeats what Amrita (SHALINI PeIRIS) told in a previous episode: “You can give up your story, you can escape from this vineyard. I wish you.” The third season of “The White Lotus” is explored the Eastern Spiritumen and how it is often chosen by Western tourists to achieve empty selfish gains, but Rick’s story includes authentic spiritual lessons, such as peace that comes while giving up a deep grudge. Rick could have a deepest in a violent Karmal cycle by hurting Jim, but in the end, he chooses a new life and the hope that comes with it. Whether this emerging optimism will continue something to see.
