Lachlan is not the one in the water/Paige finds enlightenment.

People discredit she can have a spiritual awakening due to her family's wealth and privilege, she didn't choose that.

You cannot keep a child accountable for the sins of the father.

Buddha was a VERY rich king who gave everything up to find true enlightenment, why can't Paige do the same? because she's a white girl from North Carolina

Paige is not being disrespectful by just showing up, that's a very western viewpoint and not something Thais really adhere too. To be upset by the principle of something is seen as a very uncool thing over there.

They are monks, they are enlightened. If their temple is open to the public, it's open to the public you don't need an appointment.

If anything, her just winging it is pretty Buddhist in itself.

She'll deal with the problem when it arises until then she's just vibing.

Her title screen is her outside of the place where all the gold and sex and violence are happening, and she is meditating alone.

I think she'll pull a Quinn.

Water is sacred in a lot of religions (baptizing for example) and means rebirth/cleansing/life

It's way too on the nose if it's Lachlan in the water, it's probably symbolic.

I personally think it's Gaitok or Timothy.

Gaitok is fighting a tiger in his picture, Timothy might do it, so he doesn't lose his status/families wealth.

I just think Lachlan is too on the nose with the title screen.
