The White Lotuscontinues to bring surprises.

During a scene in the second episode of season 3, which aired on Sunday, Feb. 23, a familiar voice appeared on the other end of a panicked phone call fromJason Isaacs’ Timothy Ratliff.

In the scene, Timothy answered a call from Kenny (Quan), who he had been waiting to hear from since the trip began. “Why’sThe Wall Street Journalcalling me, Kenny?” Timothy asked.

“I don’t care about the f—ing story,” Kenny replied angrily. “Because 20 agents just raided my f—ing office! F— me. I’m done.”

As Kenny spewed expletives and spiraled over the thought of going “to f—ing prison,” Timothy tried to make sense of the sticky situation.

“You told me this couldn’t happen,” he said into the phone, beginning to scream: “You f—ing swore that this couldn’t happen.”

“I didn’t think some whistleblower bitch in my office was going to rat me out to the media and the f—ing FBI,” Kenny responded, before revealing that the feds “have everything,” including “my accounts, my emails, all the f—ing documents.”

When Kenny, who revealed he is calling from a burner phone, told Timothy he is implicated, Timothy explodes. “This was a favor to you, remember that?” he shouted. “I didn’t wanna do it. This was all you and now I’m wrapped up in some money laundering bribery situation and I only made $10 million off of your stupid f—ing scheme!”

He continued: “I swear to god, Kenny, if you f— me on this, I will kill you. I will f—ing kill you, you hear me?”

“If it makes you feel any better, I’m gonna f—ing kill myself,” Kenny said before Timothy hung up the intense call.

During the intense call, Dern berated the philandering Hollywood big shot that he was no longer on the good side of anyone in the family — including Albie (Adam DiMarco), who was visiting the White Lotus resort with Dominic and his father Bert (F. Murray Abraham) on a journey to retrace the family’s Sicilian roots.
