The White Lotus Season 3, episode 7 was filled with tension aplenty, from the long-awaited showdown between Rick (Walton Goggins) and the man who may have killed his father to Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) nervously attending a house party thrown by Greg/Gary (Jon Gries).

Rick finally confronts the man he says killed his father, the ladies erupt at dinner and Belinda gets an interesting offer.

There are slow burns and then there are slow burns. The third season of The White Lotus is testing my patience. I’m typically pretty comfortable with slower shows. Severance and Andor are two of my favorites in recent years and both can easily be described as slow burns.
