Viewers of The White Lotus have watched Saxon Ratliff go through every emotion after a weird encounter with his brother, but he was asked to take part in another fantasy too
Fans of The White Lotus have been left horrified as Saxon Ratliff was almost dragged into another grim sexual fantasy.
The character, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Patrick, was left sickened during last week’s episode when he realised his brother Lochlan (Sam Nivola) had pleasured him during a drug-fuelled romp with Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon). In the previous episode, they’d been made to kiss, but viewers had been expecting the weird scenes after a hint in the first episode.
Things were amped up another notch in this week’s penultimate episode, though. Chloe and boyfriend Gary/Greg (Jon Gries) invited a bunch of people staying at the hotel over for dinner, including the Ratliffs.
There, Chloe told Saxon that Greg wanted to involve him in another weird family-based fantasy of his own. She said that Greg used to watch his parents, and it excited him.
Eventually, she said, he fantasised about catching other people at it, which is where Saxon would come in. She said Gary wanted to catch them in the throes of passion, but he wouldn’t touch Saxon.
However Saxon was horrified and it was clear he was still struggling with what had happened in the previous episode.
Viewers have been left appalled by the continued themes of family members in compromising positions emerging.
One said: “Yo I’m like 30 mins behind but Gary is one freaked out mother f***** what the actual f***.”

Another wrote: “The reveal about Gary I’m screaming.”
A third said: “Everything I learn about Gary has me shivering.”
Meanwhile, many others begged show boss Mike White to ditch the grim idea altogether, while others wanted the focus to return to the brothers.
With one episode left of the third season, it remains to be seen if Saxon will be dragged in to any more horrific fantasies.
But it wasn’t the only seriously questionable scene.
Laurie (Carrie Coon) ended up in bed with Aleksei (Julian Kostov), but things soon took a dark turn. He told her than. he needed $10,000 to bring his sick mother from Russia to Thailand.
Of course, it’s unlikely that is actually the case, considering Laurie soon discovered that Aleksei had a girlfriend, who burst into the room, and that he had the snake necklace that was stolen from the hotel in a previous episode.
It’s not clear whether Laurie knows about the robbery, but the fact that he was pressuring her for a large amount of money while suspiciously having expensive jewellery hidden away appeared to ring alarm bells.
Luckily (or not) for her, she’s not the only one with her suspicions on Aleksei, Valentin (Arnas Fedaravicius) and Vlad (Yuri Kolokolnikov).
Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong) saw the three of them with Laurie at a Muay Thai fight and realised that Vlad was one of the robbers. He put the pieces together and seemed to figure out that Valentin had distracted him at the security gate, allowing the robbery to happen, and was clearly in on it.
It puts Gaitok and Laurie in a very dangerous position, so will either of them end up dead in the season finale?
The White Lotus airs on Sky Atlantic and Now TV in the UK
