The


White
Lotus
season
three
left
fans
with
plenty
of
questions.

Chief
among
them:
Why
didn’t
Lochlan
Ratliff
clean
the
blender
before
using
it?
Luckily,
actor

Sam
Nivola
shared
insight
into
his
character’s
near-fatal
decision
to
use
a
dirty
blender—which
unbeknownst
to
him
was
full
of
a
blended
cocktail
of
poisonous
seeds—and
his
answer
is
quite
simple.

“I
was
expecting
that
Saxon
(Patrick
Schwarzenegger)
had
made
a
protein
shake
in
it,”
Sam,
21,
explained
on
the

Tonight
Show
Starring
Jimmy
Fallon
April
7.
“I
thought
it
was
a
little
extra
protein.
So,
I
was
like,
you
know
what?
A
little
extra
protein
never
hurt
anybody.”

Proving
that
Lochlan
did
think
it
through,
he
added,
“I’m
not
that
much
of
an
idiot.”

Indeed,
in
the
finale
Lochlan
started
his
morning
making
a
protein
shake
in
the
same
blender
that
his
father
Timonthy
(Jason
Isaacs) had
filled
with
poisonous
fruit
from
the
“suicide
tree”
the
night
before,
when
he
almost
attempted
to
murder
his
most
of
his
family—
including
wife
Victoria
(Parker
Posey),
Saxon
and
daughter
Piper
(Sarah
Catherine
Hook)—amid
his
secret
legal
troubles.
