The White Lotus Season 3 has been breaking all viewership charts since its premiere on February 16, 2025. The latest episode, titled Full-Moon Party resulted in many revelations.

From Piper revealing her plans to stay in Thailand to Rick planning to confront Jim Hollinger, the episode was filled with dark twists and turns. Another one of those complex twists was Fabian (Christian Freidel) not calling the police when Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) tells him about Gary’s identity and his shady past. Fabian doesn’t want any bad press for The White Lotus Resort and hence doesn’t pay attention to Belinda’s revelation.

More on this in our story.


Why does Fabian protect Gary/Greg in The White Lotus Season 3? Reasons, explored

In Episode 5 of The White Lotus Season 3, Sarah Catherine Hook’s Piper Ratliff finally reveals her plans to stay in Thailand for a year, which shocks her parents. Moreover, the episode might have also hinted at a potential upcoming death of the season with Rick buying a gun to kill Jim Hollinger and Timothy stealing a gun from Gaitok, thinking of attempting s*icide.

Meanwhile, Belinda is also scared for her life after Fabian tells her one of their guests, Gary/Greg, has been asking about her. Belinda then tells Fabian to call the police as Greg has been evading the authorities after his wife Tanya McQuoid’s death. She tells him that Greg is a threat, thinking that Fabian might help her out as he is the manager of the resort. However, Fabian doesn’t react much to her revelation and tells her it’s not wise to stir things up and that she will survive.

Greg is one of the regular and high-paying guests in the White Lotus resort, calling the police on him will take a rich customer away from the resort. Furthermore, Greg might not be the only guest with money and an illegal past, as we find out that Sam Rockwell’s Frank also had to leave the US, and his past is filled with illegal activities.

Bringing the police means bad press for the resort, and Fabian wants to protect the resort. When Gaitok shares with Fabian that he might be promoted with excitement, Fabian tells him that his job of greeting their guests is one of the most important jobs, demonstrating how serious he is about taking care of the resort.

Additionally, with Greg’s yacht parties, the resort might also get more clients. Greg is one of the regular guests of The White Lotus resort, while Belinda is an employee from another location of the hotel chain and won’t be back to the resort after she goes back to Hawaii. Therefore, for Fabian, protecting Greg is more important than protecting Belinda.
