Not likely the head gasket, they just don't go out. Pull the plug and inspect it. The plug may be fowled, the wire may be bad, that coil may be bad but that generally makes 2 cylinders fail. Could be a bad injector in that cylinder

Does the white smoke have a sweet smell to it like Glycol? That would be your indication that the head gasket has gone South, but not likely in these cars. There is always the possibility of a LIM gasket failure. Not a difficult job to do if you have some experience with tools and the time.

LIM stands for Lower Intake Manifold. These are located under your supercharger. Our cars are notorious for these going out based on their weak design.
Do you see coolant on the top of the engine around the supercharger? What does the oil look like?
