The White Lotus Season 3 recently concluded on HBO. As was the case with the previous two seasons of The White Lotus, the third installment left in it's wake several unanswered questions. These questions germinate from the several storylines in The White Lotus Season 3, leading viewers to speculate about them. The reason behind this state of speculation is caused partly due to the anthologic structure of the show created by Mike White, a show that doesn't revisit it's characters once after they are past their narrative prime.

Below, we take a look at the five most important questions that were left unanswered by the HBO show's third season finale titled Amor Fati.


What are the top 5 unanswered questions from The White Lotus season 3 finale?

Keep reading to learn more.

1) Will there ever be justice for Tanya?

The third season didn't feature Greg being punished for murdering Tanya in the previous season. On the other hand, he was able to bribe Belinda to be silent in this matter. It seems likely that the rich guest would successfully evade justice unless he is once again placed in a similar situation where he ends up murdering his wife. Chloe is in his crosshairs.


2) What will Belinda do with all that money?

As mentioned earlier, Greg secured Belinda's submission by offering her the massive bribe of $5 million. With such a hefty amount, Belinda can very well decide to retire and lead a life of luxury. Alternatively, she can also start her own spa, which she has been planning for some time now. It remains uncertain whether her character would now undergo a metamorphosis since she is now considerably rich.


3) What about the relationship between the Ratliff brothers?

The relationship between Saxon and Lochlan appears to be irrevocably damaged after the full moon party featured in the sixth episode of the third season. With Saxon now having decided to explore a life of spirituality and Lochlan appreciating his new-found sense of life, likely, the prior relationship that existed between the two brothers won't ever make a comeback.


4) What will happen to the Ratliff family?

Throughout The White Lotus Season 3, the Ratliff family in particular and Tim in particular has been facing legal troubles concerning his wealth. This particular storyline wasn't featured heavily on the finale episode, with Tim and the others in the family learning in a mundane way that they are close to financial ruin and must pay for their crimes. As a flush future doesn't seem to be in the offing, it remains unclear whether characters such as Victoria and Piper would survive.


5) Why didn't the guests react to the mass shooting?

The spew of violence that began with Rick shooting his father failed to elicit a proper response from the other guests at the luxury resort. Following Chloe's death and the like, there wasn't a proper emotional response from the other characters, and law enforcement agencies weren't involved in the narrative. This is not to say that this couldn't have been a narrative choice.


The White Lotus is exclusively available on HBO and Max.
