These deleted White Lotus scenes will change how you watch it.

And just like that, another season of The White Lotus has come to an end, leaving more questions than answers in its wake.

The Season 3 finale was an action-packed one-and-a-half-hour event, tying up a few (but not all!) loose ends and providing some clarity on the shooting and floating dead body teased in Episode 1.

But now what? I honestly don't know. A Monday night without The White Lotus is honestly like a day without sunshine, a morning without coffee and a pub meal without hot chippies.

As we readjust our lives and our schedules, all we can do is go over the past season, digging up some of the scenes that were filmed but never made the light of day. This is all we have left, folks.

These are the scenes cut from The White Lotus and tbh, they could have changed a lot.

Piper lost her virginity to Belinda's son Zion.

Guess what? Sarah Catherine Hook's character Piper was meant to lose her virginity to Belinda's son, Zion, in a scene that was ultimately cut from the finale due to time constraints.

"That part was cut too, which is very disappointing, is that she decides to lose her virginity in the script in the last episode," creator Mike White told IndieWire. "And she actually has sex with Zion. There's this whole scene where she's like, 'It's true. Saxon is right about this one thing. I need to get this over with.'"

The scene was planned to occur after Piper left the monastery in Thailand following an overnight stay with her brother Lochlan.

"After she leaves, she's just like, 'I need to have sex,'" White recalled.

However, White couldn't extend the episode to be any longer than it was. "It was one of these things where it was like, it's already an hour and a half. It would have added 10 minutes to the thing."

White added that the tone of the scene would have felt contradictory to the finale's dark subject matter. "It had a little bit of a rom-com vibe in the middle of trying to kill the family with the pong pong fruits. It just felt like I was trying to do too much narratively."

Jaclyn's motivation for her bizarre behaviour at the club.

According to Michelle Monaghan, Jaclyn's 'pick-me' behaviour at the club was explained in a deleted scene.

"The three women that Jaclyn is dancing for — or at, however you want to [look at it] — were making fun of them earlier in the day at the bar when they first arrived because [Jaclyn, Kate, and Laurie] all look like drowned rats from the Songkran Festival," she told Bustle in March 2025.

This explains why Jaclyn suddenly transformed on the dance floor. "They're pointing fingers and laughing at them … and Jaclyn was like, 'Oh, hell no. We're going downstairs.'"

Laurie discusses her child being non-binary.

Carrie Coon shared some extra information about her Season 3 character's family, telling Harper's Bazaar there was more of a backstory filmed initially. "You originally found out that her daughter was actually nonbinary, maybe trans, and going by they/them. You see Laurie struggling to explain it to her friends, struggling to use they/them pronouns, struggling with the language, which was all interesting."

Despite the scene being cut, Coon praised White for writing the scene so thoughtfully.

"They're not just one thing. His father wrote a very influential book about what it was like to come out as a gay man himself in the evangelical church as an adult, which a lot of young men have read and was a very meaningful text for them in their own journeys," Coon said.

"Mike doesn't shy away from challenging cultural conversations, and I really appreciate that about his work."

Kate had a kooky dream.

Leslie Bibb revealed details about a fantastical sequence with Kate that was ultimately cut from The White Lotus. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Bibb described the elaborate scene.

"Kate had this insane dream sequence with the ladyboys and ping-pong and everything was glowing," she said. "It was also kind of like The Shining."

It's unclear at what stage this deleted scene would have appeared in the season. But the ping-pong ball imagery and The Shining comparisons suggest a potential character development that never made it to the screen. Boo!
