As if Patrick Schwarzenegger‘s onscreen sexual encounter on The White Lotus with his brother wasn’t creepy enough, now he is getting propositioned by Jennifer Coolidge‘s murderous husband.
During the Sunday, March 30, episode of the hit HBO series, Saxon (Schwarzenegger) gets invited to a party being thrown by Chloe’s (Charlotte Le Bon) boyfriend Gary (Jon Gries). Saxon is worried Gary wants to confront him about sleeping with Chloe but instead, Tanya’s (Coolidge) ex has another idea in mind.
“Don’t go. Gary wants you to stay,” Chloe told Saxon. “We had a long talk and it was very good. He finally opened up about his ex-wife. Apparently, they never had sex and because she was so insecure, he couldn’t tell her what he was really into sexually. He doesn’t want that happening to us because he loves me.”
Chloe realized she could fix her romance with Gary — but only with Saxon’s help.
“He was telling me that when he was a kid, his parents used to have loud sex all the time. They would leave their door open and he would then stand outside their door and watch his dad go to town on his mom,” she explained. “It would make Gary feel this mixture of disgust and jealousy but at the same time excitement.”
While Saxon listened in shock, Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) was amused. Chloe continued to pave the way for her request, adding, “When he got older and started dating he would have these paranoid delusions that his girlfriend would be cheating on him with his best friend. And he would obsess even though there was no basis for it in reality. He would have these jealous rages and he lost a lot of friends over it.”
She continued: “One day he realized he was kind of hoping they were having sex behind his back so he could find them doing it — just like he found his parents doing it in the middle of the night. So it is kind of like his worst nightmare was his erotic fantasy.”
Saxon made it clear that Gary’s sexual fantasies were “demented” before Chloe turned the tables on him.
“I am glad he told me. So what do you think about helping Gary [by] staying?” she asked. “Oh relax, he wouldn’t even touch you. He just wants to creep up on us. And at some point I will leave you and go to Gary. It would be like he is winning his mother back from his father.”
As most of Us were taking in the ridiculous request, Chelsea gushed about how it was “a little boy’s dream.” Saxon wasn’t interested, which was obvious when he called Chelsea and Chloe “insane.”
“I really want this relationship to work,” Chloe said, to which Saxon replied, “How? By boning you in front of him? No. I am not that kind of guy.”
Saxon ultimately left but Gary’s disappointing night was just beginning. Amid the party, he approached Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) to offer her money in exchange for her silence about his connection to Tanya. Belinda didn’t immediately agree, which doesn’t bode well for her. Then there are the Ratliffs who are slowly unraveling.
Meanwhile over in Bangkok, Rick (Walton Goggins) and Frank (Sam Rockwell) confronted Sritala’s (Lek Patravadi) husband. Rick scared the man — but didn’t kill him — and he and Frank ultimately celebrated with a night of debauchery.
There was also a celebration for Laurie (Carrie Coon) after she finally hooked up with Valentin (Arnas Fedaravicius) following a fight with Kate (Leslie Bibb) and Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan). The twist? Turns out Valentin was involved in the robberies at The White Lotus resort.
New episodes of The White Lotus air on HBO Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
