Okay, I know what you are thinking…
Episode 5 ofThe White Lotusis going to be BIG.
I mean, that would make sense, right?
The White Lotus
So much has been teased in the last few scenes of Episode 4.
All my friends at this point are saying Episode 5 is going to be huge.
I dont buy it.
I think we have one more slow burn episode left before things really blow up.
Lets look at it this way.The White Lotushas never been a show that rushes toward its biggest moments.
Instead, it layers tension, teasing out conflicts until they inevitably explode.
Season 3 seems to be following this formula.
Episode 4 ramped up tension, with missing weapons, growing conflicts, and the looming presence of danger.
Mike White is more clever than that.
Timothys possession of the weapon might not result in anything major just yet, especially because Gaitok confronts him.
I also suspect that Episode 5 will be more about rising tensions than explosive actions.
Look at Rick too!
