You thought you were getting out of this. You're really getting it a different way now.
This episode, the last episode, XL-sized, is called Amor Fati. It's written and directed by Mike White. And later in this episode, we'll be talking to Natasha Rothwell, who has a real big moment.
what is in store for me.
Yeah. Unless you're Chelsea, who accepts that, you know, all we have is the here and now, and she gets fucking murdered by a security guard. Caught in the crossfire. I know. Poor Chelsea. Moog and Kai Talk, they do end up together.
I don't know.
I know. I know. We hate her now.
Come on. Oh, yeah. She's red-billed. Yeah. She's fully red-billed. And by the end, she's like, she's, it's so the look of love snapping on and off in her eyes. And he's like, weakness? Ew. I know.
But she wants him to be the, she's like, oh, you murdered someone? Oh, you killed someone? It's very sad. But he gets the girl.
So, Belinda.
Let's talk about Belinda.
Yeah.
He's an incredible negotiator. The point is, is there enough money here for everyone to get their happy ending?
Say I'm crazy. Say I'm crazy. Yeah, exactly.
That's really satisfying. And I will say, like, something that I – have quibbled with in White Lotus's past is that, like, by nature, I mean, it's built into the nature of the show that the non-white characters have to be the nice ones because they're the employees. And so they're forced into, like, a structural niceness.
They're on the wrong side of the entitlement that generates all the comedy of the show, like, necessarily. And, you know, it sucks to see Belinda immediately Tanya Pornchai.
I know. Well, right.
Yeah. And I'm like, yeah.
Like stuff has changed. I'm not going to go into this any further.
She has like the look of sort of distant condescension in her eyes.
I think she plays, I think Natasha Rothwell plays this episode really wonderfully. Like I think she's funny in the negotiation scene. It's funnier when you realize she's faking. You love getting to see her be like, oh, I'm a rich bitch now. Mm-hmm. When that direct deposit hits, we were all like, can you just deposit that much money? Do checking accounts do that?
