Did Saxon and Lochlan have sex in ‘The White Lotus’?
The sixth episode of season three of The White Lotus has lit up the internet – did brothers Saxon and Lochlan have sex? Read on for all the info.
The HBO black comedy show aired its latest episode on Sunday night (March 23), with the new season showcasing an all-new collection of obnoxious privileged customers at the titular luxury resort in Thailand.
The season has already been no stranger to controversy, with the fourth episode featuring a much-discussed full-frontal nudity scene featuring Jason Isaacs’ Timothy Ratliff, who, while sitting in his hotel room with his wife and children, stretched and opened his robe, exposing himself.
The scene triggered huge reactions on social media, and Isaacs’ co-stars said that the actor was “very excited” to shoot it. Isaacs himself initially said that the outcry revealed that there is a “double standard” for men and women when it comes to on-screen nudity, although he later walked back those comments.
“I said the wrong words in the wrong way,” he said. “I used the phrase ‘double standard,’ which I didn’t mean at all. There is a [different] double standard — women have been monstrously exploited and men haven’t. It came out wrong, and I was tired — I’d done so many interviews.”
The third season of Mike White’s show received a four-star review from NME, with Nick Levine writing: “A little sweetness definitely helps to balance out the prevailing saltiness. As the season progresses, the sneaky intricacy of White’s plotting begins to yield surreal, shocking and genuinely hilarious moments.
“No one can write a scene where one character pretends not to remember another quite as exquisitely as White. Tanya may be gone, but this transgressive soap opera remains unique and completely jaw-dropping.”

Episode six picks up the morning after a night of excess for brothers Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola). We see Saxon’s hungover flashbacks of himself, Lochlan and Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) in bed together, but his memory is not clear enough to remember the events in detail. Saxon and Lochlan later discuss how they both “blacked out” and can’t remember what happened.
Later that day, Saxon goes to the pool, where he runs into Chloe and Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood). Chloe gleefully informs him that she remembers the events of the night before in detail, telling him that they had a threesome. Saxon is disgusted by the idea and blames the others for getting him drunk, prompting Chloe to reply: “I didn’t force him to jerk you off”.
Lochlan, meanwhile, has accompanied his sister Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) to a Buddhist temple and during a group meditation, his mind clears and he suddenly remembers the sordid details of the previous night, confirming Chelsea’s version of events.
The episode ends before the brothers have a chance to meet again, but with two episodes of season three remaining, it is sure to lead to some difficult interactions between the Ratliff brothers.
