A brief recap of The White Lotus season 3 episode 2
In The White Lotus season 3 episode 2, Timothy gets embroiled in legal drama due to his connections to Kenny Nyugen, whose office is raided by the FBI. Kenny urges his friend to get a lawyer soon as the FBI will likely go after him next. Meanwhile, his daughter, Piper, feels grossed out by her brothers, Saxon and Lochlan, discussing her s*x life.
Meanwhile, Jaclyn and Kate begin the episode by gossiping about Laurie’s failed marriage and her daughter’s anger issues. By the episode’s end, Jaclyn becomes the subject of the bit**ing session. Laurie straight-up calls the actress a narcissist, while Kate criticizes her looks.
Rick decides to go to Bangkok after hearing that Sritala is headed to the city to meet her husband Jim. Chelsea goes through a harrowing experience when an armed robber enters the hotel’s jewelry store and points his gun at her before leaving with the gold jewelry. The couple meets Chloe and Gary (Greg) for dinner. Belinda, seated nearby, notices Greg but struggles to remember where she has seen him before.
What to expect from The White Lotus season 3 episode 3?
The upcoming episode’s preview showcases Timothy in a bind after he learns that the FBI has raided his office and has a warrant out for him.
The White Lotus season 3 episode 3 will likely shed some light on Rick's past and his true motives. He is seen telling Sritala that he works in the entertainment business and proposes some sort of collaboration since she has experience with acting. But, it seems as an excuse to get in touch with her husband Jim Hollinger, who is apparently the reason he came to Thailand’s White Lotus in the first place.
Laurie may make a move on the Russian health guru Valentin, following encouragement from Jaclyn. It needs to be seen if he reciprocates.
Furthermore, Belinda will introduce herself to Greg/Gary to find out where they have met before. It seems Greg has funded his life in Thailand from the wealth he inherited after his wife Tanya's death. Belinda may be instrumental in exposing Greg's role in his wife's death and may even help get some kind of justice for the beloved character.
