When does ‘The White Lotus’ air? How to watch Season 3, Episode 6

Episode 6 of “The White Lotus” is nearly here — and we’re still reeling from the last one.
Among the shockers? Sam Rockwell’s surprise cameo and unforgettable monologue. Bonus trivia: Rockwell is married in real life to one of the Season 3 stars, Leslie Bibb.
Then, there was that kiss between brothers Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola) shared while partying with two other hotel guests.
Schwarzenegger spoke about the scene, and why “White Lotus” creator Mike White wanted to make it deliberately unsettling, in a previous interview with TODAY.com.
“He wants to leave that up to the interpretation of the audience of what is happening,” Schwarzenegger says of White. “Was a power shift happening? Is there a different power dynamic between him and Lochy? Is Lochy coming on to him? Is it the drugs? Is it the girls pressuring him? What is it? So, I think he leaves that open-ended for the audience to try to decipher.”
Here’s how to catch every detail of Episode 6, including what’s to come and what you missed last time.

What else happened last week during Season 3, Episode 5?
The episode picked up exactly where Episode 4 left off, beginning with Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong) discovering that Timothy Ratliff (Jason Isaacs) had stolen his gun.
Gaitok goes to confront Timothy, eventually asking for it back, but Timothy claims he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
At dinner after the boat day, Piper Ratliff (Sarah Catherine Hook) drops the news that she’s not in Thailand to work on a thesis. In reality, she’s a Buddhist and plans to move to Thailand to develop her spirituality for at least a year. Her mother, Victoria Ratliff (Parker Posey), does not take well.
Meanwhile, on the boat headed to the Full Moon Party, Saxon Ratliff (Patrick Schwarzenegger) tells Lochlan Ratliff (Sam Nivola) that he needs to gain confidence to get what he wants. Also on the boat, Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) tells Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) that she likes young guys, confessing that she and Greg (Jon Gries) are never intimate. Chelsea says she could never cheat on Rick (Walton Goggins).

Rick, however, isn’t picking up Chelsea’s calls as he is in Bangkok meeting an old friend, Frank (Sam Rockwell). Frank tells Rick that he’s sober now. He launches on a monologue about his fetishes and desires that leaves Rick speechless. Then he says he’s since given that lifestyle up for Buddhism. After revealing his story, he hands Rick a black bag containing a gun, telling him he hopes he doesn’t have to use it.
Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan), Laurie (Carrie Coon) and Kate (Leslie Bibb) are at a club with Valentin (Arnas Fedaravičius) and his friends Vlad (Yuri Kolokolnikov) and Aleksei (Julian Kostov). They dance, they drink, they party. Valentin seems to actually like Laurie, flirting with her throughout the evening. Their group of six ends up returning to the women’s villa, despite Kate wishing the men would leave. There, they continue to party, with Laurie even taking her swimsuit off. Once Kate finally convinces all the men to leave, the women go to sleep — except Jaclyn who, unbeknownst to her friends, sneaks Valentin back in and the two have sex.
Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) spends the episode in high stress when the manager Fabian (Christian Friedel) informs her that Greg has been asking questions about her. Belinda tells Fabian that Greg is dangerous and killed his wife, begging him to call the police, but Fabian refuses, saying that Greg’s inquiry about her was harmless.
That night, Belinda also confides her fears to Pornchai (Dom Hetrakul) who believes her and agrees to spend the night in her room, so she won’t be as scared. The two share a kiss.

Saxon, Lochlan, Chloe and Chelsea make it to the Full Moon Party, where Chloe offers them all drugs. Saxon refuses, but Lochlan immediately downs the drugs. Chelsea takes them and eventually the group convinces Saxon too as well.
After the Full Moon Party, the foursome goes back to the boat, where Chloe asks Chelsea if Rick would kill her if she cheated, adding that she thinks Greg (whom she calls Gary) is capable of killing her. But Chloe says she still wants to hook up with Lochlan, saying it’s worth the risk.
With a booze and drugs in their systems, Saxon points at Chloe and Chelsea to kiss, which they do. Saxon then directs Chloe and Lochlan to kiss, which they do, too. Then, Chloe directs Saxon and Lochlan to kiss. Lochlan leans in and pecks Saxon on the lips. Saxon looks confused and says, “What?” But Lochlan goes in for a second, longer kiss with his brother. Afterwards, Saxon seems confused and disturbed.
The episode ends with Timothy Ratliff writing a suicide note. He puts Gaitok’s gun up to his head but struggles to pull the trigger. Before he can, Victoria interrupts him. He hides the gun and note, telling her he will come back to bed soon. He then prays to God asking for advice on what to do.
What’s in store for the Season 3, Episode 5?
In the teaser clip for Episode 6, Belinda references a “Scarface” quote, which plays over montage of characters struggling with their own vices.
“First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the woman,” she says, as clips flash up of Timothy Ratliff, Greg Hunt and then Saxon Ratliff and Chelsea, respectively.
Belinda’s son, Zion (Nicholas Duvernay), has finally arrived. Meanwhile, Greg tells Chloe that he needs to “deal with something” and requests her help. Chloe later tells Saxon that Greg knows about him.

Kate asks Laurie why she is “antagonizing her,” seemingly referring to Jaclyn as the “her.” Laurie says she just has to be “honest” sometimes.
Rick tells Frank he needs 10 minutes with someone and needs Frank’s help to get it. The trailer ends with Timothy Ratliff pointing a gun.
