‘The White Lotus’ shock incest storyline has got the internet talking: “Somehow gets WORSE”

'The White Lotus' season 3 Sam Nivola as Lochlan Ratliff

The White Lotus‘ shock incest storyline has gotten the internet talking as season three continues.

One of the most-talked-about aspects of the current run episodes is the odd dynamic between brothers Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan Ratliff (Sam Nivola).

After last week’s episode, which saw the two characters share a kiss during a Full Moon Party, the storyline ratcheted up in last night’s (March 23) outing, in which the brothers woke up naked in bed together.

With vague memories of what happened, flashes appear throughout the episode as the brothers and audiences discover that Lochlan had sex with Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) while Saxon masturbated next to them. At the end of the episode, Lochlan is shocked to remember that he reached over and gave his brother a handjob.

Many viewers have taken to social media to talk about the storyline’s latest development, sharing their reactions to the turn of events.

“Watching episode 6 of White Lotus and the incest somehow gets WORSE,” one viewer wrote, another adding: “Oh so the White Lotus will ACTUALLY lean into this incest shit? sigh.”

“7 minutes into the new White Lotus what the FUCK did i just witness with the brothers,” a third said, while a fourth wrote: “THE BROTHERS ON THE WHITE LOTUS DID WHAT??????”

Sharing a picture of Saxon realising what happened, a fifth joked: “If I ever send you this picture just know that I found out that I did something terrible at a party and learned things about myself that I never should have.”
