Every Story Is Building With Plenty Of Tension
All the characters in The White Lotus season 3 are reaching the apex of their stories, bringing about intense buildup as the season comes to a close.

As for the others, it seems the Ratliff family could become fractured, not only due to Timothy wanting to die, but also because Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola) might be staying at the monastery. Laurie, on the other hand, could gain the opportunity to apologize to her friends.

The ending of The White Lotus season 3, episode 7 brought many plot points to a head, teasing an explosive finale for all major storylines.
As for the shooting, Rick got rid of his gun in The White Lotus season 3, episode 7 after being unable to kill Jim, meaning the shooting can only happen from the gun in Gaitok’s possession. Based on the setup, he could be chasing down the Russians who orchestrated the robbery, tying into his conversation with Mook (Lalisa Manobal) about lacking a “killer instinct” in the latest episode. However, that doesn’t mean he’s the culprit, either, as anything could happen based on whose possession the gun falls into during the final hour.
