Nearing the halfway point of the season, the tension continues to build as more clues, foreshadowing and puzzle pieces fall into place. While things haven’t fully reached a boiling point yet, we continue to get more clarity on where each character’s path is leading. Here are this week’s likely death rankings.

Who Dies in ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3? Ranking the Possibilities After Episode 4
19. Pornchai
Last Week: 18th
18. Fabian
Last Week: 19th
The masseuse and the hotel manager swap places on the list this week but only because Fabian ends up in closer proximity to danger when he tells Gaitok that he needs to shape up. A gun, potentially the one used in the season’s murder, gets introduced, so we’ll move Fabian up one single spot. Both of these characters feel relatively safe.

17. Sritala
Last Week: 15th
The owner of The White Lotus travelled to Bangkok to visit her husband and we don’t catch a glimpse of her this episode. With little time to get to Bangkok and back, Sritala feels like an unlikely candidate to end up as the body in the river so she moves down a few spots.
16. Mook
Last Week: 17th
Mook’s quiet demeanor means she stays roughly in the same spot, only moving up one place because of her connection to Gaitok’s gun (which is now missing).

15. Belinda
Last Week: 16th
Belinda moves up one place because there continues to be a sense of dread about her stay at The White Lotus as she senses that someone may be watching her. This feels more like bad news for a person who might be in her orbit (similar to how Armand died because he was in Shane’s room in Season 1), but things could still end poorly for Belinda.
14. Chelsea
Last Week: 14th
Chelsea tells Rick that things come in threes and she’s already had two close calls (the robbery and a snake bite). She finally learns why Rick came to Thailand and her association with him could mean her premonition of a third tragic event could come true.

13. Jaclyn
Last Week: 12th
12. Laurie
Last Week: 11th
11. Kate
Last Week: 10th
Jaclyn, Laurie, and Kate may not be at the center of the season’s biggest drama, but their decision to let loose with Valentin and his friends could put them in a precarious position. We don’t see how the night ends but it might lead to some more potential gossip for the trio to engage in.

10. Piper
Last Week: 9th
9. Lochlan
Last Week: 8th
Both of these Ratliff siblings are hiding something (or at least Lochlan seems to be). Piper is ready to tell her parents she is going to stay in Thailand and Lochy doesn’t seem thrilled about this news. Either of these characters dying would feel quite tragic but it certainly seems like each week there are stronger candidates left on the board.
8. Valentin
Last Week: 13th
Valentin continues to take a big jump up the rankings, mostly as a lingering affect of his actions in Episode 2. He sends the women off only for them to be rather disappointed in the aging demographic of the poolside spot. He brings them into a village and later introduces them to his friends. They may seem harmless so far but we know how dangerous associates on The White Lotus can be.
7. Victoria
Last Week: 7th
6. Chloe
Last Week: 6th
Victoria and Chloe hold their positions at 7th and 6th respectively. Victoria’s story mostly revolves around her missing pills while Chloe mingles with Saxon. Both of these feel like situations that feel more dangerous for the people around them than the women themselves.

5. Saxon
Last Week: 4th
I’d love to put Saxon higher on the list but this is likely just wishful thinking. Other than potentially being the character who someone will want to kill, he moves down the list because others seem to be closer to danger than he is.
4. Greg
Last Week: 3rd
Belinda now has proof that “Gary” is Greg and that’s bad news for Tanya’s ex-husband. He also has his eyes on Saxon as he flirts with his girlfriend. With multiple threats closing in, Greg is in a dangerous position.
3. Rick
Last Week: 2nd
When Chelsea frets over her near-death experiences, Rick responds that lightning doesn’t strike in the same place twice. This is false. Rick stills seems more likely than most to die in Thailand though good news for him, it likely won’t be because of a lightning strike. The best news for Rick is that he’s still set to go to Bangkok and with just a few episodes to go, I’m not sure he has enough time to make it there and back.
2. Gaitok
Last Week: 4th
Fabian gives Gaitok a warning about the rise in crime since he’s been on security duty and he’s given a gun by a co-worker. The presence of “Gaitok’s Gun” is going to bump him up the rankings slightly, especially after it goes missing.
1. Timothy
Last Week: 1st
He seems firmly in need of the pills and has resorted to stealing the whole bottom from his wife. If the theory that the death is the result of something other than a gun, this feels it could leave the Ratliff patriarch exposed (for lack of a better word).
