🚨 SPOILER ALERT 🚨 – If you haven’t watched the latest episode of The White Lotus, first of all, what are you even doing? Second, turn back now before I ruin the most chaotic phone call of the season!
Alright, so let’s get into it. HBO just dropped episode two of The White Lotus season three, and things are getting messier than a toddler with a bowl of spaghetti. And guess what? We got a surprise cameo from an Academy Award winner who is clearly having the time of his life on this show.
In case you blacked out from sheer excitement last week, let’s recap: Jason Isaacs’ character, Timothy Ratcliff, is sweating harder than a politician in a lie detector test. Some journalists have been sniffing around, asking uncomfortable questions about some allegedly shady financial dealings from his past (you know, just billionaire things). In the premiere, Timothy left a desperate voicemail for his old business partner, Kenny, probably hoping for reassurance.
Well, in episode two, Kenny finally calls back—and it’s none other than Ke Huy Quan on the other end of the line! Yes, the same Ke Huy Quan who charmed us in Everything Everywhere All At Once is now here to… well, absolutely lose his mind.

Timothy: “Why is The Wall Street Journal breathing down my neck, Kenny?”
Kenny: “Dude. Forget about that. I’ve got 20 feds ransacking my office like it’s a Black Friday sale, and I’m about to have a full-blown meltdown.”
Timothy: “Wait, WHAT? You told me this was airtight! You swore this couldn’t happen!”
Kenny: “Yeah, well, turns out, ‘airtight’ is a relative term when there’s a whistleblower in my office who decided to snitch to the FBI. Now they’ve got everything—my accounts, my emails, my entire Google Drive, for god’s sake!”
Timothy: “Oh, GREAT. So now I’m tangled up in some high-stakes money laundering scheme and all I got out of it was $10 million?! That’s barely enough to buy a decent yacht, Kenny!”
Kenny: “Well, buddy, I hope that yacht has a panic room because you’re definitely implicated.”
Timothy: “Kenny, listen to me very carefully. If you screw me over, I will personally end you.”
Kenny: “If it makes you feel any better, I’m probably gonna take myself out first.”

Well. That escalated quickly.
So, to summarize: Timothy is now public enemy #1, Kenny is two seconds away from jumping ship (literally), and the FBI is about to have the most dramatic case files of all time.
We can only assume things will continue to spiral in the next episode, because The White Lotus thrives on disaster.
Catch new episodes Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO—because let’s be real, you’re already hooked. 🍿
