In The White Lotus Season 3, tensions between our three teeth-gritting besties Laurie (Carrie Coon), Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan), and Kate (Leslie Bibb) have been steadily rising for varied causes private and political. Nevertheless, in episode 7, the trio’s dinner became a bonafide dwelling truths session.
As earnest lodge supervisor Fabian (Christian Friedel) lastly took the stage for his first efficiency on the White Lotus restaurant, the group reached a simmering level the place the viewers acquired a fleeting peek into why Laurie has such an issue with Jaclyn’s actions, and why she might have provided that resounding wail in her room within the very first episode.
One factor’s for certain, we will want a little bit extra element about what occurred at Laurie’s marriage ceremony.

The penultimate episode Season 3 had many an uncomfortable revelation following the choices-were-made rager of a Full Moon Occasion in episodes 5 and 6 (pour out a smoothie for the Ratliff brothers).
For varsity pals Laurie, Kate, and Jaclyn, over the course of the day after, Jaclyn’s post-party sleepover with wellness coach Valentin (Arnas Fedaravičius) turns into the subject of the day in episode 6, with Laurie slowly processing Jaclyn’s determination to a) cheat on her boyfriend and b) achieve this with the person Jaclyn herself was pushing Laurie to have a vacation dalliance with. Laurie’s technique to compute the scenario was spending the entire day seemingly laughing it off as Jaclyn flat out lied about it to each Kate and Laurie. However there’s extra occurring right here.

In episode 7, over a hastily-ordered bottle of rosé at dinner, Laurie makes a quip about Jaclyn being drained and the entire thing kicks off. Laurie accuses Jaclyn of being untrustworthy when Kate steps in to explain the entire Valentin factor as “not that big of a deal.”

“Was it a big deal when she did the same thing with Dave?” Laurie asks, explaining to Kate: “At my wedding she was all over Dave. I’m sure you remember.”
Who’s Dave, pals? That will be Kate’s now-husband. Meaning 15 years in the past, at Laurie’s marriage ceremony to her ex Brian, Jaclyn was allegedly “all over” the associate of the buddy most in her nook proper now. We do not know if Kate and Dave have been collectively at Laurie’s marriage ceremony, but when Laurie is delivering this information as proof of Jaclyn’s behaviour patterns, we’re guessing they have been a minimum of relationship (or on the very least Kate had already expressed an curiosity in him).
Jaclyn denies the occasion, however everyone knows she’s not solely an actor however a fairly good liar by this level with the entire Valentin factor. After Jaclyn and Kate (defending Jaclyn within the second) drop some crisp and merciless dwelling truths on Laurie, Laurie leaves a few of her personal revelations on the desk and heads off to the Muay Thai struggle on the town.
So, what precisely occurred at Laurie’s marriage ceremony, Jaclyn?

It is not clear we’ll really get any extra info on what precisely occurred at Laurie’s marriage ceremony within the finale.
In episode 1, when the visitors first arrive on the White Lotus and the trio settle into their villa for the night, Laurie calls it an evening and heads as much as her room. It is right here, gazing Jaclyn and Kate having a comfortable dialog, Laurie points probably the most agonised, mournful, pent-up wail we have heard in an age. It looks like she’s burying a fact right here about her pals’ deep emotional impression on her. Slowly however certainly, over the course of the season, we’re clued into the dynamic between the three, and it appears to be certainly one of barely poisonous competitors from Jaclyn’s perspective, notably along with her pals’ companions or love pursuits.
Possibly we’ll get a scene the place Kate confronts Jaclyn about what occurred between her and Dave at Laurie’s marriage ceremony. Possibly we cannot. However the true query can be what Kate now does with this revelation, and whether or not her friendship is admittedly price it. Give us the main points, Laurie!
