Warning! This article contains spoilers for The White Lotus season 3, episode 7.
Zion may have just revealed precisely who will meet an untimely fate inThe White Lotusseason 3’s finale. Zion is simultaneously the newest and oldest member ofThe White Lotusseason 3’s cast. The reason for this dichotomy is Zion’s appearance in the cold opening of the season, during whichThe White Lotusseason 3’s victimwas first teased. Despite this scene, Zion was absent from the show once it flashed back to the events of the prior week, only appearing for the first time inThe White Lotusseason 3, episode 6.
Upon arriving, Zion got caught up inBelinda’s plot with Greg inThe White Lotusseason 3. Episode 7 saw this grow deeper, with Greg offering to pay Belinda $100,000 for the latter to start up her spa in exchange for her silence regarding Tanya’s death. Zion urges his mother to take the money, putting Belinda in a difficult position which renders herWhite Lotusseason 3 vacationas stressful as anyone’s. During this scene, however, Zion may have provided a hint that it is Belinda who will suffer a dark fate this season.

During the conversation about Greg offering to pay Belinda, Zion insists that she takes the money. This insistence likely comes from a few sources, be it the selfish gains Belinda and Zion could have with money of that ilk or purely protection. Admittedly, the latter motivation shines through inThe White Lotusseason 3, episode 7;Zion states that if Belinda does not take the money,“they’re going to find your body in the Gulf of Thailand.S***, maybe mine too!”
The White Lotus Season 3 Theory Reveals Greg’s Real Plan For Belinda, And I Buy It Way More Than Him Trying To Kill Her
The White Lotus has hinted at Greg having a dark plan for Belinda, but rather than her being this season’s victim, there is a much better possible end
In the opening scene ofThe White Lotusseason 3, episode 1, Zion is shown hiding from the gunshots ringing out across the hotel in the rivers and ponds situated throughout the resort. As he does so, he spots an unknown body floating in the water. His line inThe White Lotusseason 3, episode 7 could be seen as foreshadowing that this body is actually Belinda, linking to his prediction of what will happen if she does not take Greg’s money. While this could be a red herring, it seems too intentional to be a coincidence.
Belinda Not Accepting Greg’s Offer Could Mean He’ll Try To Kill Her Instead
Belinda May Not Be The Safest Of The White Lotus' Guests
All of these scenes and implications fromThe White Lotusseason 3, episode 7 begs the question of what will come of this storyline in the finale. Based on Belinda’s reaction, it seems that she is unlikely to take Greg’s payoff based on her own moral center. It is implied that she cannot overlook that he has done awful things and is seemingly not willing to bury her head in the sand, which would undoubtedly make Greg more dangerous.
If Belinda does not take the money, Greg has only one option to try and keep her quiet. This could further hint that Belinda will not make it out ofThe White Lotusseason 3 alive. Not only would that mean that Zion finds his own mother dead inThe White Lotusseason 3’s finale, but it would also mean that he predicted exactly what would happen to her an episode earlier.
