Posted on by Aditi Rao

Big spoilers ahead! We’re diving into all the shocking deaths from Sunday’s Season 3 finale of The White Lotus.

Rick Hatchett (played by Walton Goggins) was at the center of the chaos in the dramatic April 6 finale on HBO. In a stunning turn of events, Rick ended up being responsible for multiple deaths, starting with Jim Hollinger (Scott Glenn), the mysterious hotel owner.

Hotel manager Armond (Murray Bartlett) was the casualty of HBO's first season of "The White Lotus."

Rick believed Jim was connected to his father’s death — only to discover that Jim was actually his biological father. During a tense confrontation, Rick pulled a gun hidden in Jim’s jacket and shot him twice, killing him.

The violence didn’t stop there. In a shootout that followed, Rick also killed two of Jim’s bodyguards. But things took an even darker turn when Rick noticed his girlfriend, Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood), lying badly wounded nearby. Desperate to save her, Rick tried to carry Chelsea to safety. However, before he could escape, he was shot in the back by Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong), a resort guard acting on orders from Sritala, Jim’s wife.

Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) and Rick (Walton Goggins) met their deaths in the Season 3 finale of HBO's "The White Lotus."

Rick fell into the water with Chelsea, both succumbing to their injuries. The episode showed a haunting image of Rick’s face floating lifelessly in the water. Later, their bodies were seen zipped up in body bags — a tragic end for the star-crossed lovers.

For fans keeping track, Rick and Chelsea now join the list of tragic deaths from past seasons of The White Lotus — where death always seems to linger behind the luxury.
