Take a stab at who is in the box…


Marked “Human remains” ?

At first I thought it must be the guy’s bride because he is travelling alone, but that is too obvious. She probably leaves him at some point, perhaps because he is responsible for this death in some way.

My next guess is the Dad because he thinks his death is imminent anyway. Again might be too obvious.

The body is being flown from Maui to Oahu so that doesn’t rule out staff.

i initially thought it was the wife and the show would show what happened. There doesn't always have to be a twist. But then i thought about it and every show/movie has a twist. So my guess is one of the Germans. Actually i have no clue yet.

reply

I hope everyone. Show is like a car wreck, I’m not sure I can look away esp cause I have nothing else to watch

reply

It might be the BODY of THE MOTHER who comes there to the ISLAND to help her son try to get the HONEYMOON ROOM that she claims she's paid for.

That would also explain the reason why the STORY begins with the GROOM telling that other couple to LEAVE HIM ALONE before we see him walk over to the window and watch them load the coffin.

I'm also thinking Oahu might be a place where they TRANSFER the body to another flight, or maybe the FUNERAL HOME there would EMBALM it before it can be flown elsewhere???

Because he also said that the flight there had been 12 HOURS long and bodies can also DECAY quite a bit during that length of time.

Ooo, interesting theory. The groom’s helicopter Mommy

Here's an article that list the MOST LIKELY characters to DIE with KITTY (the HELICOPTER MOM that we haven't met yet) being called a WILD CARD:

https://mashable.com/article/the-white-lotus-hbo-who-will-die

Wild card: Kitty

Nothing like a late arrival to shake things up: Shane's mother Kitty (Molly Shannon) has yet to appear at the White Lotus resort, but she does show up eventually according to the season preview. Her death would make a lot of sense considering Shane's emotional state at the airport and the fact that the body is also on his flight. Aside from Armand and Rachel, she is character who is most likely to die.


Since her obnoxious son SHANE is still alive at the start of our story, unless he has an identical TWIN brother, we also have to rule him out as being the HUMAN REMAINS in that box.

And Here's how I think KITTY will probably DIE:

Shane's mother KITTY goes walking into the OCEAN with a piece of LOBSTER (or some other kind of SEAFOOD) in her hand, and then another SEA CREATURE WILL come along and begin eating her due to what she's eating.

Maybe those family of LITTLE SHARKS that people feed bread to will attack her after smelling the sea food she has, and then munch on her little by little until there's no longer very much left of her???

I'm also thinking by the time that happens the rest of us will probably also not be able to stand her anymore than we can stand her HORRIBLE son, so we'll probably also not have very much sympathy for what happens to her.

Because if the SON behaves the way that he does, and if he's also learned to be that way from his MOTHER, imagine how much WORSE the mother will be.

And imagine how much more that POOR MANAGER (who's already being BULLIED by the SON) is going to get BULLIED even more by SHANE's MOTHER KITTY when she arrives.

So by the end of the story the NEW BRIDE will probably DUMP the GROOM (who will probably go home without a MOTHER anymore), and he will probably also discover the DEAD MOTHER has SPENT all of the MONEY leaving the SON BROKE.

And it will probably also please the rest of us to discover that's the case, especially after the ABRASIVE way that SHANE's behaved and TORMENTED that poor HOTEL MANAGER (who's also abusing SUBSTANCES again after being sober for 5 years).

Anyone else have any other PREDICTIONS???

NOPE!....SORRY...I DON'T "STAB" PEOPLE IN BOXES ANYMORE...LAST TIME I GOT A NASTY RASH ON MY WEINER.😣

reply

Oo, nasty. take care of that

SOAKED IT TOMATER JUICE...FIXES EVERYTHING.

reply

🤔 Tomato juice? Perhaps was there a skunk in the box you stabbed?

reply

I DON'T THINK SO...I DISTINCTLY ASKED FOR A BOX WITH "HUMAN" INSIDE.

reply

The hotel manager , killed involuntary by the kind wife of the arrogant wealthy guy , exactly because she is so nice and was on the manager's side having her husband forget about the wrong room situation , it would be ridiculously ironic that things escalate and that she would be the one killing him inadvertently , the wealthy guy at the airport is leaving alone because his wife is in jail.

reply

A very plausible prediction. This story seems to building up to some chain reaction set of events that end with the fatality.

reply

I buy that, or that the hotel manager shot her and is in jail.
I think it might be Belinda, who has a son in college (U of Hawaii Honolulu) and is constantly getting in between Armond and impending disaster. She is hot instead of Shane, or protecting Shane, and Armond then shoots himself.

If Rachel were in jail do we think that Shane would really be leaving her there? He looks pretty wrecked in the airport.
He may be headed to Honolulu, where Rachel would stand trial.
That or Belinda dying supports White's satire--that the rich play with people and the poor suffer all the consequences. Which is what his other movies have been about.

reply

yvesyves - You were the closest! Especially posting this 3 weeks ago. I would have said the son, whe ended up being the most sympathetic character of all.

reply

"Human remains"...was someone eaten by the sharks?
I have tried to "uncover the twist" in other mysteries and always end up being wrong, with the obvious answer being the answer with a not-so-expected story behind it. Like an accident. I think it's Rachel, who swam out and was eaten by the sharks, or it's Quinn, and Rachel tried to get Shane to save him, snd he didn't, and Rachel left Shane as a result. Which explains why Shane is so upset at the human remains and is alone at the airport. When taking these two thinks into account, there has to be a reason he'd be this upset if anyone in the box isn't either his mom or Rachel.

reply

He could be upset because his wife left him. Last episode seems to hint at that.

I agree WHO.

SHANE is a SELF ABSORBED NARCISSIST who would NEVER give a DAMN about the DEATH of anyone else (unless it was his MOTHER).

And even then he obviously didn't CARE enough about her to have her body (or what remains of it) placed into anything other than that CHEAP CARDBOARD BOX that we see being loaded onto the plane in the PREVIEW CLIP for this coming SUNDAY.

Perhaps that FAMILY of "LITTLE SHARKS" that ARMOND mentioned before have GROWN UP now, and when someone goes to feed them (the way he said the other TOURIST have been doing), that person becomes a meal for them???

But since ARMOND (and a couple of the other EMPLOYEES that we see in their UNDERWARE) are also seen having an INSURRECTION (over ARMOND being FIRED), there's also the possibility that someone will DIE as a result of that kind of MAYHEM taking place.

And since the body is being LOADED onto the PLANE, that would also seem to indicate it's one of the GUESTS who will DIE, and NOT one of the STAFF or the other NATIVE inhabitants.

LOL where is the crazy poster? BLM? Kai taking over ownership?

reply

I'm glad none of joi2049's "predictions" were even remotely how the story played out.

reply

lol that would have been pants on head retarded if someone just randomly got attacked by sharks and died.

reply

I think the baby shark thing was probably Armond amusing himself by screwing with the heads of wealthy tourists who don't know anything about Maui. We find out later the contempt he holds for most of them when he quotes from Tennyson's "The Lotos-Eaters".

reply

Hey half the fun of watching a show like this is letting your imagination runaway and making wild speculations. Ever visit the Game of Thrones board during it’s heyday? Folks had Ned Stark returning as a White Walker mole covertly working to overthrow all the other white walkers.

take a "stab". as it turns out it was a very good choice of words.

Oh wow, so it was!
