Summary

We hope you're enjoying your stay with us at The White Lotus—just don't get too comfortable. On this week's episode, host Sami Sage (@sami) is joined by pop culture pros Gibson Johns (@gibsonoma) and Sarah Galli (@damegalli) to dissect every chilling and thrilling moment from Episode 7. Sure, this may not have been the most dramatic penultimate episode of all time, but the tide is always lowest right before a tsunami... They get right down to business discussing their own finale theories, how Mike White's usage of intercuts ramps up the tension, and why the Internet seems to think this season is boring. (Can't say we agree, but to each their own...) Make sure to subscribe to Sami's Substack for even more White Lotus musings, and leave your own thoughts and theories for the finale episode in the comments. No theory is too wild here. samisagesays.substack.com Watch Natasha Rothwell play "How Online Are You?" on the Betches Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKDK1DsuQG4 Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the White Lotus at Betches Recap.
0:15.2	I'm Sammy Sage.
0:16.4	And today I am joined by two amazing pop culture TV recapers, Sarah Galley and Gibson Johns.
0:23.9	Welcome to the show.
0:25.2	So happy to be checking in with you.
0:27.1	Oh, we are checked in.

0:32.6	How many travel puns can we fit into this episode?
0:35.9	The limit does not exist.
0:37.2	The limit does not exist. The limit does not exist.
0:38.4	Perfect. Yeah, I'm going to fly on over to my list and see. So this episode was called
0:42.8	Killer Instincts. And I think that it really framed the episode because within this hour,
0:48.9	you basically saw who kind of did have killer instincts and who didn't have killer instincts. And some of whom are in
0:56.7	maybe the middle, you know, like Timothy, who's kind of flip-flopping back and forth. But the whole
1:02.2	episode was also, I thought, really interesting because it was framed by flashes of this Muay Thai fight.
1:07.3	And they kept flashing, like it was red versus versus blue and they utilized a lot of color
1:12.3	symbolism within the episode to kind of show who's adversarial against each other and then
1:17.7	I guess who has the more killer instinct in those conversations. But what did you think for a
1:23.4	penultimate episode? They're usually supposed to be the best. Gibson, tell me.
