***<\/em>Warning – this article contains major spoilers for The White Lotus<\/a> season 3 finale***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The White Lotus<\/a> has left fans absolutely heartbroken after a devastating and dramatic season 3 finale.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 90-minute episode aired on HBO<\/a> last night, with a dramatic ending seeing three characters killed off <\/a>– including two fan favourites – in a bloodbath shootout.<\/p>\n

Aimee Lou Wood’s Chelsea and Walton Goggins’ Rick both died, as well as the luxury resort’s hotel owner Jim Hollinger (Scott Glenn) – who was also Rick’s real father.<\/p>\n

Rick had travelled to the Thailand resort to face Jim, who his mother told him killed his father.<\/p>\n

With a simple ‘f**k you’ he pulled the trigger, before Jim’s wife Sritala revealed his true identity, and her bodyguards opened fire.<\/p>\n

Chelsea got caught in the crossfire, and Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong) shot Rick from behind as he carried his star-crossed lover, and they both fell into the pond and floated away.<\/p>\n
