Clues that indicated Chelsea’s fate in the final of the “White Lotus”

This message contains spoilers for the final episode of The white lotusSeason 3.

The white lotus Season 3 ended, and we don’t agree. The devastating final saw not one but two favorite characters of fans meeting a premature end and that leaves the luxury hotel in body bags. RIP Chelsea and Rick.

Naturally, we all have a broken heart, and it seems that the actors feel the same. During a final event in California last night, Aimee Lou Wood, who played Chelsea, shared that she felt “super bizarre” for weeks before filming the heartbreaking final. In fact, she has still not accepted the spell of Chelsea – Same, Aimee. Meanwhile, Walton Goggins, alias Rick, shared a sincere tribute to the pair on Instagram, writing: “For me, ours was a love story. It was only a love story, hampered by an unresolved infantile trauma.” BRB, crying.

Of course, some people saw Chelsea ‘death coming from a distance mile – his “Stay Gold” collar was the basis of a theory of leading fans that Chelsea was condemned.

Wood also teased the end itself, says Charm that the fate of his character was “controversial” and, in another interview with Timethat she was “afraid” to look back.

But they were not the only indications. In fact, there were clues to the Chelsea fate strewn throughout the season. Read the rest to find out why we should all have seen writing on the wall.

The title card

Even before the show begins, we had our first index that Chelsea may not get a happy ending. In the title sequence, Wood’s name coincided with an image of an squatting tiger on a corpse of bloody deer, protecting it from other hungry animals. Is it just us or this image looks very much like Rick who hovers on Chelsea’s body after being turned in the final?

There were so many clues in the script

Mike White did not really hold back with regard to the dialogue clues. In fact, Chelsea and Rick have constantly allusions to death and firearms.

In episode 1, Chelsea joked: “If you kill me, I will follow you in the next life and the next.” She also said to him, “I will help you recover your joy … even if it kills me.” Sinister.

Meanwhile, Rick said to him, “You are like a fucking machine gun!”

These not so subtle clues continued to the final, when Chelsea and Rick agreed that they “would spend the rest of our lives together” – tragically, it did not end up being long.

Snakes

In the third episode, Chelsea was bitten by a toxic snake. Why was it a clue? Well, for one thing, it was a kind of Rick’s fault. In fact, the whole sequence followed the same structure as the highest point of the final – Rick put without thinking a horde of free snakes, and Chelsea suffered the consequences. Likewise, in the final, Rick’s spontaneous and spontaneous decision to grasp the Jim pistol inadvertently led to the death of Chelsea.

Bad things come in three

Maybe the biggest index? Chelsea’s obsession for bad things “coming in three”.

“I am almost dead twice,” Chelsea told Rick, referring to an armed robbery at the hotel and the snake bite. Seeing that Chelsea believes that “bad things happen in three”, that implied that a third event was coming.

“Stay in gold” necklace

Another large clue came in the form of one of the Chelsea necklaces. Throughout the season, the hotel customer frequently sported a label necklace that said “Stay Gold”. As some fans have noted, this sentence also appeared in the novel and the film Foreigners, In which the character of Johnny Cade’s last words was “Stay Gold, Ponyboy”.

The sentence was inspired by Robert Frost’s poem “Nothing gold can remain” in the ephemeral nature of life and young people.

Star signs necklaces

In the final, Chelsea made its debut more jewelry – this time, two seated zodiac constellation necklaces. If you look carefully and you will see they seem to be ram and scorpion, alias the signs of the stars of Rick and Rick. So cute. In addition to the “Stay Gold” necklace, this pile of jewelry seems to let their spell are linked to the end.

“Amor Fati”

The final index came in the form of the title of the final, “Amor Fati” or “Love of Fate”, a concept that we must kiss and accept our destinies. It’s very chelsea.

“I like the idea of ​​giving it a lot of chatter that seems to be a nonsense, but that in the end, you say to yourself:` `Oh, perhaps ” and at the end, she talks about the groups that work with a divine goal, therefore, that I believe all this, it is good to have a voice of that because it has this deep belief …Amor Fati –And that things happen for a reason, “said White in the official podcast, by The Hollywood Reporter. “Maybe that removes the side of the sadness of his death in one way or another, because he has the impression that she has a kind of power higher than what happens next.”
