The Girls

Like any toxic friendship viewed from the outside, we the audience know that Laurie, Jacelyn and Kate need to never see each other ever again. 

While their brush with Russian expat gang members has been a dangerous symptom of their competitiveness, it seems they might just escape without paying a higher price than the end of their friendship.

Providing none of them are caught in the crossfire of next week’s episode, the toxic trio should all be travelling back to the US, hopefully never seeing each other ever again.

The Ratliffs

The group that could have their family portrait in the dictionary under ‘chaos’ and had Duke university itself issuing a statement denouncing their portrayed allegiance are set for a belter season finale.

Starting with Lochlan, who’s innocent appearance had him fly under the radar for many viewers early in the season. While his recent incestuous streak has sparked the disgust of fans, he is likely to escape his family and remain in Thailand. With his father’s disgrace pulling everyone down except Harper and himself.

Belinda

After rejecting Greg’s $100,000 offer to stay silent about Tanya’s death, Belinda has given a dangerous man serious motive for her murder. From our short glimpse into the events of the shooting in the first episode, we now know that Zion’s immediate concern for his mother’s safety is based on very real evidence. 

Belinda is a character many fans will be rooting for a happy ending in next week’s finale. With the potential highs of a future of steamy romance and dream joint business venture with Pornchai, compared to the possible crushing lows of seeing our heroine murdered by the vile and corrupt Greg, the extreme outcomes of  this storyline are bound to be a highlight of the finale should either occur. 

However, my bet is on the family oriented, and ever-caring Belinda returning safely home to Hawaii, without her dreams of business ownership, but safe from harm. Even if Pornchai has to take a bullet for her.

Chelsea and Rick

After his meeting with Jim, Rick’s big moment for this season may have passed. But Rick has business back at the White Lotus resort, with his fan-favorite partner, the queen of facial expressions, Chelsea. Their relationship has been a topic of discussion for fans since the season 3 stills were released, and will undoubtedly experience some conclusion in the finale.

Chelsea’s fate specifically has been heavily speculated upon, with a string of near-death experiences early on this season, many fans have been worried that it was only a matter of time for the mancunian icon.

Will Rick’s blunder at the house of Sritala attract the wrath of Jim and seal Chelsea’s fate? Or will Rick step up and be there to protect his love?

I predict a happy ending for Chelsea and a parting of the ways for her and Rick in some form.
