Lochlan’s dad Timothy (Jason Isaacs) had crushed up a poisonous fruit in the blender in an attempt to kill his family, which he decided not to do in the end. Timothy never cleaned the blender though and Lochlan decided to use the dirty blender to make himself a protein shake the next morning. He immediately got sick after drinking the shake and appeared to be dead, but later was revived by his dad.
So, why didn’t he clean it?
“My answer is that I was expecting that Saxon had made a protein shake in it,” Sam said, referring to his character’s older brother played by Patrick Schwarzenegger.
Sam added, “I didn’t know — I thought it was just leftover protein. So I’m like, ‘You know what? A little extra protein never hurt anybody.’ I’m not that much of an idiot!”
