Summary

@Betches will be back this Friday! But first... In our final White Lotus recap, we’re sending off Season 3 with a bang. Host Sami Sage is joined by MSNBC’s The 11th Hour anchor—and our honorary White Lotus foreign correspondent—Stephanie Ruhle (@stephruhle). In true girlhood fashion, they watched the finale live together last night, and now they’re ready to unpack it all… while the surviving guests pack their bags. From the accuracy (or misfire) of their predictions to the moral journeys of each character, Sami and Stephanie dive into what made this season so compelling—and so devastating. Plus, they reflect on what we can all take away from a finale that was as emotionally brutal as it was beautifully done. Thank you so much for tuning in with us this season—we've loved being in this divine group with you. As always, make sure to subscribe to Sami's Substack for even more White Lotus musings, and leave your own thoughts about the finale episode in the comments.
