The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 6 ends with Rick (Walton Goggins) and pal Frank (Sam Rockwell) arriving at the Hollingers’ Bangkok residence, ready for a violent showdown with the hoteliers. Elsewhere, Laurie (Carrie Coon) has insisted that she, Kate (Leslie Bibb), and Jackie (Michelle Monaghan) attend a Muay Thai boxing match with their Russian friends, despite the tension brewing after Jackie hooked up with Valentin (Arnas Fedaravicius). Timothy Ratliff (Jason Isaacs) is entertaining more and more violent murder-suicide fantasies, while Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) spends a night in the meditation center with Lochlan (Sam Nivola). Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) is grappling with the realization that he hooked up with his little brother. Oh, and “Gary” (Jon Gries) is cooking up some kind of tense dinner to corner Belinda (Natasha Rothwell). Needless to say, we’re pouring over HBO‘s preview for The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 7 “Killer Instincts” with detective-like focus.

The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 7 preview is full of ominous developments in all of the key plot lines. There’s an image of a blood-splattered Timothy and none other than Mook (Lalisa Manobal, aka LISA) cutely tells Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong) that violence is natural. The short clip even goes so far as to end with Rick pointing at gun at what must be Scott Glenn as Jim Hollinger.

What does this all mean for the penultimate episode of The White Lotus Season 3? Lets break down the preview for HBO’s The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 7…

The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 7 preview cuts between the start of a Muay Thai fight, students in the meditation center, and tense close ups of the show’s stars as monk Luang Por Teera tells his acolytes, “Every one of us has the capacity to kill. Violence, aggression stem from the same source. Fear.”

We see Laurie walking alone in a Thai street at night as the title card, “On the Next The White Lotus” pops up.

A worried Saxon walks through the resort at night. “I don’t have any interests. If I’m not a success, then I’m nothing,” he says to Timothy. “And I can’t handle being nothing.”

We hear Jaclyn Lemon in voice over ask, “What is really going on with you?” as the clip cuts from the Muay Thai fight to Laurie dashing away on her own. At dinner, Laurie sips wine and Jackie says, “If you’re not happy with your life, change it.”

Belinda says, “He knows I know,” as we settle on an unsettling shot of Greg, aka “Gary.” Zion (Nicholas Duvernay) answers, “Let’s just go see what he has to say.” Belinda looks concerned.

Victoria (Parker Posey) is praying in bed. Tim asks her what she’s doing and she replies, “I’m praying for Piper.” In what must be a dorm room at the meditation center, Piper and Lochlan are talking. Lochlan says, “I don’t want to give in to my dark shit.”

A bell rings. A boxing match begins. Mook tells Gaitok in Thai, “It’s human to fight! It’s a part of life!”

Back in Bangkok, Rick moves around the Hollinger house. “I have fantasized about this moment a thousand times,” he says. There’s a shot of a boxer, Fabian (Christian Friedel) singing, Mook and Gaitok on a date, an upset Laurie walking alone, and an elevator closes on a smiling Rick, a drinking Frank, and two unidentifiable women, as we are told there are only two episodes left.

Rick points a gun and says, “You ruined my life.” A punch is swung in the boxing match. A boat speeds by a Thai mansion. “HBO Original The White Lotus.“

The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 7 “Killer Instincts” will premiere on HBO and Max on Sunday, March 30 at 9 PM ET.
