Warning: this story contains spoilers from episode 6 of The White Lotus season 3.
Unfortunately for Patrick Schwarzenegger’s White Lotus character, the truth always comes out.
In episode 6 of the third season of HBO’s hit show, Saxon Ratliff (Schwarzenegger) wakes up in a daze after a night of partying with his brother Lochlan (Sam Nivola), and fellow resort guests Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) and Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood). When he looks over and sees Lochlan naked in bed next to him, Saxon remembers that they kissed — and possibly took things further.
In a flashback, Lochlan and Chloe are having sex as Saxon lies beside them, seemingly experiencing some pleasure as well. He then realizes that he wasn’t the one touching himself, but rather it was Lochlan.
The rest of the day, Saxon is physically sick, unable to look at his brother, who claims to not remember anything from the night before.

It isn’t until later when he sees Chloe and Chelsea by the pool that he realizes his worries about what transpired are true.
“He knows about you,” Chloe tells Saxon, referring to her boyfriend Greg (Jon Gries) finding out that they (also) hooked up. “You should come to the house tonight, both of you, we’re having people over. It’s gonna be fun.”
When Saxon insists he isn’t going to face Greg if he’s upset with him, Chloe claims he isn’t mad at all.
“He seemed kind of turned on,” she explains, to which Chelsea adds, “Hey, maybe he wants a threesome!”
Saxon says he’s not doing that, noting he has never had a threesome “with another guy.”
“What about last night?” Chloe quips, startling Saxon, who stumbles over his words: “That wasn’t, I mean, it wasn’t a threesome. What, are you kidding me? That was my little brother.”
“Yeah, and you guys made out,” Chelsea chimes in.
“That was a joke,” Saxon snaps. “You guys forced us to.”
“I didn’t force him to jerk you off,” Chloe states.

As Saxon looks around nervously, he finally says, “I don’t remember that. I blacked out.”
“Well, I didn’t,” Chloe pokes.
Saxon then blames the pill Chloe gave them all before they went to the Full Moon Party earlier in the night, but Chelsea doesn’t buy it, saying: “I don’t think there’s a drug in the world that would make me get with my brother.”
“Hey, I don’t judge,” she continues, as Chloe tells him, “I mean, it’s fine. Everyone has their thing.”

“It’s not a thing!” Saxon shouts back as he gets up to leave. “It’s definitely not a thing. Okay. Let’s just forget about it please, seriously.”
He isn’t the only one with memories flooding back. While Lochlan is visiting the Thai monastery with their sister Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook), the visual pops into his head during a meditation, leaving him confused.
