Spoilers for the season-three finale of The White Lotus below, duh.
Hey, so that episode of television was bonkers, right? Whether you loved The White Lotus finale or were like “meh,” it’s fair to say that nobody expected the twink brother to go full on Lazarus followed by both [redacted] getting shot. And Belinda hath becometh Tanya? Whew. That much chaos means nearly everyone in the cast got caught acting (and reacting) their monkey butts off. Below, our favorite reaction shots from this White Lotus finale, along with suggestions about when to use them. Of course, feel free to come up with your own applications: graduations, deaths, when your daughter decides against monks in Thailand.
When your friend is doing too much
It’s hard to imagine how tiring it is for Walter Goggins’s Rick to be pals with loose cannon Frank, played by Sam Rockwell. Everyone has a friend who won’t stop being weird no matter what.
When your daughter is lame
Jason Isaacs’s Timothy Ratliff realizes his daughter is terminally lame.
She definitely has to die.
And this is the face he makes when he begins to grapple with the fact that he’s about to kill his only daughter. For her own good!
When you’re a proud mama
Victoria, meanwhile, reacts to Piper’s snobbery about the Buddhist monks’ living conditions by relaxing for the first time all vacation.
Nobody at the country club has to know.
When someone brings up how you acted while drunk
Lochlan (Sam Nivola) is not supposed to bring up the brotherly hand job he gave Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) when they were on drugs. What happens on molly stays on the random murderer’s yacht.
When you’re too soft
In this shot, Gaitok is depressed because Mook is not really feeling the whole WWBD (what would Buddha do?) concept — she’s more into certified killahs. We recommend this reaction image for all soft boys.
When it’s mother-son day
This mother-son duo is deadly. Belinda and Zion are in sync, they’re pulling schemes, and Gary is out $5 million. Intergenerational mischief needs more memes.
When you’re fated
Not to regress, but Rick and Chelsea are totes OTP. Lovergirls and loverboys of the world are welcome to use this pic for when their flaky love finally commits (shares their location).
When you can’t support all women’s wrongs
Carrie Coon’s Laurie monologues about friendship this episode, but this is the face Leslie Bibb’s Kate pulls when Laurie hasn’t quite landed the plane.
When you remember you’re gorgeous, tan, and blonde
Kate may have a “beautiful life,” but Laurie says Jaclyn has a “beautiful face,” and that genuinely moves her.
When your bro …
Technically this reaction happens after Saxon’s dad, Timothy, knocks his poisoned piña colada out of his hands, saving his life. But, ultimately, when you see Saxon’s lips covered in white goo because of a family member, it’s hard not to think of something else.
When you f- -ked up
This reaction image is only to be used in the direst of circumstances, like, say, when your actions ultimately kill the only person you’ve ever loved.
When he f- -ked up
And, counterpoint, this is when you’ve been betrayed because your toxic older boyfriend had to kill his dad. If it’s not that exact situation, please exercise judgment as to whether it’s appropriate. Long live Chelsea.
