This post contains spoilers for the season-three finale of The White Lotus.

There is plenty still haunting me about the season finale of The White Lotus last night, from Rick and Chelsea’s yin-yang death to Laurie’s monologue (that feeling when you absolutely hate all your friends for the entirety of a girls’ trip but then feel sad when said trip is over!). Yet there is one specific detail that I keep fixating on. No, it’s not Timothy Ratliff’s weird and desperate plan to annihilate his family with poisoned piña coladas, but rather young Lochlan Ratliff’s use of a clearly dirty blender (that, unbeknownst to him, was full of toxic seeds) to make a protein smoothie.

We know from the end of the episode that Lochlan was lucky enough to avoid Rick and Chelsea’s tragic fate, but at the risk of being pedantic about kitchen etiquette, I’m going to loop us back to the dirty-blender conversation. I have almost no rules in the kitchen; I regularly put Tupperware in the dishwasher (to the extreme annoyance of my Virgo boyfriend), and I’ve been known to extend the five-second rule by five or even 10 additional seconds (whatever, my floors are clean!). But my one hard-and-fast cooking maxim is: Always wash your blender, immediately. Immediately! There’s absolutely no reason not to, and that one quick rinse at the crucial post-use moment could save you untold minutes of trying to coax out hardened streaks of old smoothie or pesto sauce or whatever it is you’ve been blending into oblivion.

Technically, my beef is really with Timothy; he is the one who failed to rinse the blender out the night before. To be clear, this is a grievous family offense even when the contents of said blender aren’t literal poison, but I guess he was…distracted by stopping just short of committing murder-suicide? So who could blame young Lochy for putting the blender to work to try his brother Saxon’s famous protein smoothies? Well, me! I can blame him! I know you’re a very rich young man, Lochlan, but really, take two seconds to wash out the blender—especially one supposed to be filled with bad coconut milk!—before use, or you could wind up vomiting into the pool and hallucinating God while your dad weeps over your lifeless body. (The fact that Timothy always planned to spare Lochlan in his murderous piña colada rampage makes the young brother kisser’s almost demise all the more tragic.) Let this be a lesson to any wealthy proto-bros out there looking to cut corners in the kitchen!
