Warning: Spoilers for season 3, episode 7 of The White Lotus ahead.
In a gripping twist, Zion, the latest addition to The White Lotus season 3 cast, has unintentionally hinted at a potential tragedy that may unfold in the series finale. This character has an interesting duality—being both a fresh face and a remnant from the season’s cold opening, during which the identity of the impending victim was subtly alluded to. Despite his early introduction, Zion didn’t reappear until episode 6, raising the stakes for viewers.
As Zion settles into his role in the storyline, he quickly becomes embroiled in a tangled web involving Belinda and Greg. Episode 7 escalates this intrigue as Greg proposes a chilling deal: he offers Belinda $100,000 to launch her spa business, stipulating that she must remain silent about Tanya’s death. Zion pressures Belinda to accept the money, putting her in an uncomfortable predicament and amplifying her stress during the vacation. Within this context, Zion drops a troubling line that suggests Belinda could meet a dire fate.

Throughout the tense discussion regarding Greg’s offer, Zion insists that Belinda should accept the money—a suggestion that may stem from both a desire for financial security and a protective instinct. His warning resonates ominously in episode 7, where he ominously declares that failing to accept Greg’s offer could lead to grave consequences, stating, “They’re going to find your body in the Gulf of Thailand. S***, maybe mine too!”
Interestingly, the premiere of season 3 featured a haunting scene where Zion hides from gunfire, his gaze transfixed on an unknown body floating nearby. His comment in the latest episode raises questions about the identity of that body—could it foreshadow Belinda’s fate? Although this could represent a classic red herring, the weight of his words suggests more than mere coincidence.

These foreboding elements from season 3, episode 7 prompt speculation about the resolution of this narrative arc in the upcoming finale. Belinda’s reaction suggests a strong moral stance that may prevent her from accepting Greg’s tainted offer. Her refusal could provoke Greg into increasingly dangerous territory, highlighting a desperate resolve to silence her if she does not comply.
The implications are stark: if Belinda rejects the offer, it raises the chilling possibility that she may not survive the events of season 3. The heartbreak for Zion would be twofold—losing his mother and grappling with the grim prophecy he inadvertently professed just an episode earlier.
