While “The White Lotus” Season 3 already shocked viewers with a drunken kiss between brothers Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola), Episode 6 escalated the incest storyline even further.

In the aftermath of the full-moon party, Saxon flashed back to glimpses of the night’s drug-filled shenanigans, which saw Lochlan hooking up with Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) with Saxon just feet away, seemingly pleasuring himself. A subsequent flashback, however, revealed that it was Lochlan who was pleasuring Saxon at one point — a part of the script Nivola first thought was a “typo.”
