This post contains spoilers For “white lotus”.

When we first see Rick Hatchet (Walton Goggins) in the 3rd “white lotus”, his hidden anxiety becomes obvious. As a boat that transports Guests plan to stay at Ko Samui White Lotus branch It is approaching the shore, we notice that the visible discomfort Rico was opposed against his girl Chelsea (Amy Lou Wood). Rick’s indifference to the natural beauty of the resort and what he can offer his guests to pierce throughout, rarely descending, even if Chelsea gently makes him relax and have fun. “What chip does this man have on the shoulder?” We are left to think, especially when The facades wearing every second guest are in the process of unraveling.

The first hint we get for breaking Rick’s behavior is his frustration when he learns that the Hotel owner’s husband Jim Holinger is not present at the resort. The owner, LEK Patravadi, becomes the center of attention during her short stay, as she is a local celebrity, which also headed the hotel health program. Rico’s manner becomes especially vigilant when she is around, hinted at some truth he wants to get, finding the opportunity to talk to her. Well, this opportunity comes in episode 3, where Rick approaches Sritala, pretending to be a producer in an entertainment business who wants to introduce her to the director. The meeting with lost in Bangkok, but the real intentions of Rica are still kept under wraps.

That is, until Chelsea faces Rick about his improvised trip to Bangkok in “hide or seek”. With all that we have learned about Rick’s past, it becomes clear that the Bangkok meeting is part of the Plan of Revenge, rooted in the mountain. Let’s delve into Rick’s motives for visiting the white lotus, Thailand.

During the wellness classes Rick with Amrita (Shalini Peiras), he shows that he always felt like non -standard after the alleged murder of his father and the subsequent death of his mother. “Nothing comes out of anything,” he states, after Amrit calls him to enter his psyche and look for the reason to let his sore past. Later, Amrit gently tells Rick that he does not need to be linger because he can “avoid a karmic cycle” and that she hopes for him. Although Rick seems conflict, he default to his grief and furious only when Chelsea face it During the amazing yacht -evening Harry/Greg (John Gris).

Rick is firmly convinced that Jim Holiniger (Spouse’s husband) killed his father, whom Rick perceives a good man punished for what’s right. Rick’s trip to Thailand was caused by the assumption that Jim would be in a white lotus, but since the man is now in Bangkok, he decides to resist his father’s killer. Upon learning of the truth, Chelsea is as sweet and sensitive as always, taking it to convey what she understands, though she is terrible for him. In the end, Rick did not witness his father’s death, and his life is aimed at tracking Jim, which stems from the last words of the mother before her death.

It is a burden that has been transporting Rick from his state years, which reported its gloomy, existential outlook for life. It feels empty and broken by this unresolved grief and lack of closure, unable to give themselves completely, even to those who love it without the conditions. This explains his difficult relationship with Chelsea to which he seems to really love and care, despite the fact that he breaks off both grumpy and aside. It is absent even when he is physically with her, his mind is forever busy with an unfinished business.

Will it get a revenge without consequences, or an unclean turn will change everything? Well, only Future episodes’ white lotus“Can give us these intriguing answers.
