00:34episode as Loughlin and Saxon grew more affectionate as they drank and took a street drug.

00:39To say the reaction among fans has been shocking would be an understatement. One fan wrote on X,

00:45Oh my god, did the White Lotus just go there? Incest vibes, drugs, and a full moon party from

00:50hell. My jaw is on the floor. Watch this scene and tell me you're not screaming.

00:59while another noted, Maybe I spent too much time in frat houses in college,

01:04but I didn't think the gay incest in last night's episode of White Lotus was that shocking.

01:13and shared insight into their characters, teasing that the storyline will continue to develop.

01:18Schwarzenegger hinted, If you watch the other seasons, you have an idea of what Mike White's

01:23looking for. I remember the first time he told me what he was looking for with this role,

01:27how he wanted him to be this kind of douchebag that was so ridiculous, so without a filter,

01:32but also really funny and charismatic, that you love to hate him, but you also kind of love him.
