HBO has released the official trailer for The White Lotus season 3, episode 5, and the tension at Thailand’s luxury resort is reaching a boiling point. Mike White’s hit anthology series is the closest to revealing the gun-totter among the increasingly tense group of wealthy travelers. The latest episode of White Lotus revealed various volatile elements in play as a flailing Timothy (Jason Isaacs) swipes Gaitok’s (Tayme Thapthimthong) gun, Rick (Walton Goggins) reveals his vendetta against the hotel’s owner, and Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) discovers shocking details about Greg/Gary’s past.
Now, HBO has unveiled the teaser for the upcoming episode of The White Lotus, hinting at multiple storylines colliding in a night filled with danger, deception, and possibly even death. As the massive full-moon party kicks off, Rick seeks a mysterious favor, Gaitok searches frantically for his missing gun, and Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) warns that Rick is about to do something terrible. Watch the full trailer below:
What This Means For White Lotus Season 3
Sh-t’s About To Get Crazy!
As Saxon toasts in the recent episode of White Lotus: “Sh-t’s about to get crazy!” White Lotus season 3, episode 4, was a major turning point for the murdery mystery series, with multiple high-stakes conflicts coming to a head. The trailer for the upcoming episode begs several questions as Rick asks for a favor after revealing to Chelsea that Jim, the hotel’s owner, killed his father. His much younger girlfriend fears for the worst. Chloe’s confession that “Gary might kill me” in the trailer also suggests that Tanya’s ex-husband would take extreme measures to silence her or someone like Belinda.

The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 4 Ending Explained: Who Stole The Gun & Why
The ending of The White Lotus season 3, episode 4 saw a gun being stolen from the titular hotel’s guard, begging the question of who now wields it.
At the same time, Timothy faces mounting pressure from his lawyers for his money-laundering colleague (Ke Huy Quan) and his subsequent embezzlement issues. With Gaitok’s gun in his hands, it seems more clear than ever that Saxon’s father would rather die than face the consequences of his trial. Yet, despite all these clear signs of looming violence, The White Lotus has always been a show that subverts expectations. White Lotus theories have run rampant, but with so many almost-smoking guns at the resort, it’s impossible to predict exactly who will pull the trigger—or who will be caught in the crossfire.
Our Take On The Next White Lotus Episode
A Deliciously Messy Chapter To Come
With so many secrets unraveling and weapons in the wrong hands, The White Lotus season 3, episode 5, is primed for a massive collision. The full moon party is the perfect setting for long-simmering tensions to ignite. Yet, Mike White’s murder mystery series has always thrived on shocking twists, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the person behind the gun had nothing to do with Rick’s vendetta or Timothy’s sweating gun. I’m still not convinced the girl squad, Kate, Laurie, and Jaclyn, won’t be involved. Whoever it is, one thing is certain: things are about to get very, very messy.
