Okay White Lotus obsessives get ready because Episode 5 "Full Moon Party" is about to drop and things are definitely heating up in Thailand! We're halfway through the season and as usual everyone's baggage is overflowing secrets are simmering and well someone is probably going to end up floating face down in the ocean. Let's dive into what crazy stuff Episode 5 might bring based on the latest hints and fan theories.

What's Going Down at the Full Moon Party? Episode 5 Teases Yacht Shenanigans and Risky Business

Episode 5 titled "Full Moon Party" promises exactly what it says on the tin a wild beach bash under the Thai full moon. But this is White Lotus so expect more drama than dancing. Previews show Chloe from the "cool girl" crew convincing the Ratliff kids to ditch the yacht party and head to this legendary Full Moon Party. Sounds like a recipe for teenage chaos right?

Meanwhile the "Victory Lap Blondes" Jaclyn Laurie and Kate are still trying to force Valentin their maybe-not-so-helpful guide to entertain them. They are hitting up a club with him and his "comrades." Will this be another disastrous outing for the trio? Probably. And Rick well it looks like he's off visiting an "old friend." Could this be connected to his mysterious past and his obsession with the hotel owner's husband? It's all very intriguing and potentially very dangerous.

Vulture's "Kill-or-Be-Killed Report" is back breaking down each character's odds of becoming a killer or a victim. Let's take a quick look at their spicy takes:

  • Victoria: Killer Spirit Rising? Poor Victoria is losing it but maybe that's a good thing? The report suggests she might be realizing her husband Timothy is trash and her "killer spirit" is waking up. Could she snap? Maybe.
  • Timothy: Desperate and Downward Spiraling. Timothy is having a full-on meltdown mixing booze and anxiety meds. He is lost his fortune and seemingly his mind. He might want to be killed but will he actually get offed? Unclear.
  • Saxon & Lochlan: Still Kinda...Boring? The Ratliff brothers are still not exactly lighting up the screen according to the report. Saxon is a cartoon jock and Lochlan is just… there. Hopefully they will become more interesting soon!
  • Piper: Thailand Test Run? Piper wants to live in Thailand for a year and this vacation is a trial run. Is this exciting? Debatable. Is she in danger? Probably not.
  • Mook: Scheming or Just Naive? Mook thinks Gaitok will get a promotion after the robbery which is… optimistic. Is she in on something shady? Maybe! The report is still suspicious.
  • Gaitok: Doomed Security Guard. Gaitok is officially "a dead man" according to the report. He's dumb distracted and now he's lost his gun. Yikes.
  • Chelsea: Killer or Just Clueless in Love? Chelsea is still devoted to Rick even though he has Princess Bride-level cultural blind spots. The report thinks she is more likely to kill than be killed and honestly we'd love to see it.
  • Rick: Aiming to Kill but Likely to be Killed? Rick finally told Chelsea about his dad and his maybe-not-so-true backstory. He is on a revenge mission but the report thinks his death is more probable.
  • Greg-Gary: Villain Googling in the Dark. Greg-Gary is alone in his creepy mansion googling Belinda. Classic villain move. The report hopes Belinda will take him down maybe even kill him.
  • Belinda: Goodness vs. Danger. Belinda is still seen as inherently good but now that Greg-Gary is onto her she might be in danger. The report hopes she survives especially for her son's sake.
  • Jaclyn Laurie & Kate: Victory Lap Blondes Falling Apart. These ladies are cracking up and their "murderous rage" is growing. Kate is still the top killer pick of the trio.
  • Valentin: Scamming Too Close to the Sun? Valentin is playing games with the Victory Lap Blondes and might be scamming them. Is he in over his head? Possibly leading to his demise.
  • Chloe: Sailing Away or Stirring Up Trouble? Chloe is heading to the Full Moon Party with the kids. Will she just ditch Greg-Gary for good or will she cause more chaos? The report is still on "Team Kill" for Chloe.
