HBO’s The White Lotus continues to deliver a bizarre gay incest storyline that fans are calling ‘disturbing’ and much more.
This season centers on the guests of the Thailand White Lotus, and the staff members who work there, including the Ratliff family.
The characters Saxon (played by Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (played by Sam Nivola) were depicted as very distinct right from the beginning. The series debut not only included a graphic nude scene but also introduced an unsettling plot twist involving incest, where Lochlan was shown fixated on watching Saxon engage in self-pleasure.
As the narrative unfolds, new intriguing elements are introduced. In a recent episode, Lochlan was shown kissing Saxon, a consequence of a dare by Chloe (played by Charlotte Le Bon) and Chelsea (played by Aimee Lou Wood).
In the latest episode, the storyline takes a darker turn revealing even more disturbing events following the initial kiss. Lochlan is portrayed as engaging in sexual activity with Chloe while also involving Saxon in a disturbing act of self-gratification.
Fans have quickly taken to social media to share their thoughts about this bizarre twist in an already salacious storyline.
HBO ‘s The White Lotus continues to deliver a bizarre gay incest storyline that fans are calling ‘disturbing’ and much more.
This season centers on the guests of the Thailand White Lotus, and the staff members who work there, including the Ratliff family.
This week’s episode reveals that things got even more out of control after that kiss, with Lochlan masturbating his own brother, while having sex with Chloe.
The scenes in question happened on the massive yacht owned by Greg Hunt (Jon Gries), who is now going by Gary, which his girlfriend Chloe took out to go to a full moon party with Chelsea, Saxon and Lochlan.
While Chelsea seemed to have no sexual interest in the brothers, Chloe certainly seemed to, as she confirmed to Chelsea in this week’s episode that she had sex with both of them last night.
As for Saxon and Lochlan, they could only see hazy memories of the evening, with Saxon watching Lochlan have sex with Chloe, and then seemingly masturbating himself in the same bed.
However, it was later revealed that it was actually Lochlan who masturbated Saxon while having sex with Chloe, which both Chloe and Chelsea (neither of whom blacked out like Saxon and Lochlan) confirmed.
Saxon clearly doesn’t know how to process all of this, walking around in a daze for most of the episode, that is actually not related to his hangover, for the most part.
He finds Chloe and Chelsea by the pool later on, as Saxon says kissing his brother was a ‘joke’ and said they made them do it, but Chloe said, ‘I didn’t force him to jerk you off.’
Lochlan’s memories of the night come back to him when he’s meditating at a Buddhist temple with his sister Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook).
The monk says, ‘as thoughts arrive, acknowledge them, say hello,’ as he sees himself jerking off his brother, as he clearly doesn’t know how to process it either.

Both of the on-screen brothers defended the incest storyline in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
‘There’s some sensationalism, but then there’s also the stuff behind the wall of the character and what he’s dealing with in the conflict of what just happened. What is that going to do to who he thinks he is?’ Patrick Schwarzenegger said.
‘His thoughts on, what is it like to be a man? What is a man? What makes all these different things that he thought he stood for in the episode and the days before?’ he added.
Sam Nivola added the scene was a bit unsettling, stating, ‘It’s kind of impossible for it to not be charged when you’re literally naked with all these cameras in front of you.’
Nivola added, ‘We really trusted Mike, because there’s always a very shocking, crazy, intense moment in every season. It’s never just for the sake of being shocking, it always serves the story.’
‘And that [incest] scene is really the inciting incident for where our relationship goes next. It’s a great storytelling tactic. Going into this, we really trusted Mike because he’s a f***ing b***ss and a genius.”
