The White Lotus Recap: Season 3 Episode 8 (Amor Fati)
@Betches will be back this Friday! But first...
In our final White Lotus recap, we’re sending off Season 3 with a bang. Host Sami Sage is joined by MSNBC’s The 11th Hour anchor—and our honorary White Lotus foreign correspondent—Stephanie Ruhle (@stephruhle). In true girlhood fashion, they watched the finale live together last night, and now they’re ready to unpack it all… while the surviving guests pack their bags.
From the accuracy (or misfire) of their predictions to the moral journeys of each character, Sami and Stephanie dive into what made this season so compelling—and so devastating. Plus, they reflect on what we can all take away from a finale that was as emotionally brutal as it was beautifully done.
Thank you so much for tuning in with us this season—we've loved being in this divine group with you. As always, make sure to subscribe to Sami's Substack for even more White Lotus musings, and leave your own thoughts about the finale episode in the comments. Let us know what show you might like to see Sami recap next!

The White Lotus Recap: Season 3 Episode 7 (Killer Instincts)
We hope you're enjoying your stay with us at The White Lotus—just don't get too comfortable.
On this week's episode, host Sami Sage (@sami) is joined by pop culture pros Gibson Johns (@gibsonoma) and Sarah Galli (@damegalli) to dissect every chilling and thrilling moment from Episode 7. Sure, this may not have been the most dramatic penultimate episode of all time, but the tide is always lowest right before a tsunami...
They get right down to business discussing their own finale theories, how Mike White's usage of intercuts ramps up the tension, and why the Internet seems to think this season is boring. (Can't say we agree, but to each their own...)
Make sure to subscribe to Sami's Substack for even more White Lotus musings, and leave your own thoughts and theories for the finale episode in the comments. No theory is too wild here.

The White Lotus Recap: Season 3 Episode 6 (Denials)
This week, guests Kate Kennedy (@katekennedy) and Lindsay Silberman (@lindsaysilb) are checking in with host Sami Sage (@sami) for a super-sized episode. Because let's be real, we're all thinking the same thing: what the hell happened last night?! (Consider this like group therapy for processing all that we've witnessed...)
After that whirlwind of an episode, we have more questions than answers: How do the Ratliffs even move forward from here? Is it worse that Jaclyn made a selfish decision, or that she couldn't stand on business? And what divine forces possessed Gaitok to actually get something right for once? Let's unpack it all.
Make sure to subscribe to Sami's Substack for even more White Lotus musings, and leave your own thoughts and theories in the comments. Let’s speculate wildly together.
