The White Lotus Season 3: Did Episode 1 Hint at the Deaths of These 2 Characters?

The White Lotus season 3 will air its finale next week. This week’s episode slowly brought the threads together of the mystery shown in the first episode. We know someone will die, but who will it be? Reddit fans already have solid theories about who is going to kick the bucket. 

Who Might die in the Season 3 Finale of The White Lotus?

A Redditor on The White Lotus sub presented an interesting theory. The poster said that they predict the two characters who will die this season are Rick and Saxon. But why them? In the first episode, these two characters are the only guests who don’t keep the Sai Sin bracelets. 

It is commonly regarded that the bracelets, blessed by Buddhist monks, protect and keep their owners safe. In the episode, Rick initially accepts the bracelet but then returns it. Saxon also returns it to the tray and wipes his hands after touching it. But how will they die?

Rick decided to let the man who caused so much anguish to his family go. But maybe Jim Holligan doesn’t want to let the man who knows so much about him live. As for Saxon, we know that his father is plotting to kill himself and then the entire family. So, maybe that’s how he will also meet his end. 

But that’s not the only theory. One fan on the subreddit thinks that it will be Gaitok’s crush, Mook, who will die. After all, in episode 7, Gaitok identified who the robbers were. Next, we know that there’s a shoot-out going to happen. So, maybe Mook will get caught in the crossfire and die. However, other fans think that Mook is too minor a character to die. What do you think? Who will die in the finale?
