Will Kai Get Caught in The White Lotus? Will Paula Confess?

The White Lotus episode 5 took a serious turn as Rachel realized she had made a terrible mistake. Two more people realized the exact same thing but under a completely different context – Paula and Kai, the Hawaiian staff of The White Lotus who steal Nicole’s 75 grand worth bracelet.

That episode really got me thinking. Will Kai get caught by the police? Moreover, will Paula confess that it was her idea all along?

I believe Kai will get caught. The Hawaiian police will arrest Kai for stealing Nicole’s bracelet and Paula will not confess that it was her idea all along. Kai will most certainly end up taking the fall for it.

How will Kai get caught?

From what I have noticed thus far, Kai is an innately nice guy. He doesn’t have the fight-against-oppressors or the justice-must-be-served kind of mentality, at least not in a way Paula and Olivia do. One scene that depicts this is when Paula asks him to steal Nicole’s bracelet. He simply replies that he’s not a thief and Mosbachers aren’t the same “white people” who took their land.

I think this is indicative of his submissive nature, which would lead to his arrest. One way things might go down is that either Kai will get caught without resistance, or he will turn himself in because the guilt would kill him and hence get arrested. Even then, he wouldn’t take Paula down with her since he’s always been nice to her.

Another radical way for things to unfold is that Kai will try to escape with the bracelet and, in the process, get shot by the police officers, leading to his death. There’re no clues to point at this theory, but you never really know what curveball The White Lotus might throw at you!

However, it may be, I think Kai will definitely be caught and be identified as the thief!

Will Paula Confess?

The White Lotus’ characters are not known to make confessions, no matter how wrong they are. This pattern can be seen with Olivia and Paula’s relationship or the fact that Quinn might be gay. So, I don’t think Paula will simply confess to everything.

Will Paula confess?

Either she would be silent and let her guilt eat her away, or she might tell only Olivia. The latter would mean coming to terms with the issues and the cold war the two have been having, which seems likely of The White Lotus’ tropes. In fact, it would make up for an intense finale arc of these two characters.

Will season 1 end on a Cliffhanger?

The White Lotus was initially meant to be only a 1 season limited series but recently got renewed for a second season. Does this mean we’ll never know who dies, and the show’s first season might end on a cliffhanger?

The White Lotus

HBO announced that The White Lotus is renewed for a second season. The new season will be following a new group of vacationers in a completely new setting. With this information, I think it’s safe to say that The White Lotus season 1 will have a proper closure for all the characters and won’t end on a cliffhanger.
