HBO’s The White Lotus has pushed boundaries yet again, leaving viewers deeply unsettled by the latest episode’s shocking scenes. Patrick Schwarzenegger’s character, Saxon Ratliff, has continued to creep out fans with bizarre interactions, including a massage scene that left audiences squirming.
An uncomfortable family dynamic
Saxon’s unsettling relationship with his siblings has been a focal point of the season. In the latest episode, his younger brother Lochlan was seen staring longingly at Saxon’s naked body as he walked to the bathroom to masturbate. Later, Lochlan watched his brother sleep, fixating on his bare behind. Meanwhile, Saxon openly discussed his sister Piper’s sex life, declaring his surprise that she is still a virgin.
Social media erupts in disgust

Fans quickly took to social media to express their horror at the incestuous undertones of the Ratliff family. “Here we go with these weird a** brothers,” one viewer tweeted. Another wrote, “Saxon is so disgusting, Jesus #TheWhiteLotus.” Others were particularly disturbed by Saxon’s massage scene, where he became visibly aroused within seconds.
A chaotic episode filled with drama
Beyond the Ratliff family’s disturbing moments, the episode introduced a series of shocking twists. A violent robbery rocked the resort, leaving security guard Gaitok injured, while patriarch Timothy found himself entangled in a money laundering scandal. Meanwhile, the tension between guests continued to rise, with old characters making unexpected returns.
More chaos ahead
With tensions at the resort reaching a breaking point, fans are bracing for even more shocking developments in the coming episodes. The White Lotus returns with Episode 4 on Sunday, March 2, at 9 PM ET on HBO.
