Does Tanya die in The White Lotus season 2?
Tanya McQuoid-Hunt visits the White Lotus hotel in Sicily with her husband Greg, whom she met while staying at the hotel's Maui resort in season 1. The couple is accompanied by her young assistant, Portia. On the second day of their trip, Greg leaves for Denver, citing work reasons, leading Tanya to suspect him of having an affair.
She later meets the wealthy British expat Quentin and his nephew Jack. Portia takes a liking to Jack, and the two sleep together not long after. Before meeting him, Portia briefly connected with another guest at the hotel, Albie Di Grasso.
Quentin shows Tanya around Sicily by taking her to Palermo and a performance of Madama Butterfly at the Teatro Massimo opera house. He even hooks her up with his cocaine dealer, Niccolo. While staying at the yacht, Tanya discovers that Quentin and Greg are connected and suspect that they plan to murder her for her wealth.
Although shocked at first, she manages to shoot Niccolo and his friends with his gun and plans to escape on a dinghy at night. Sadly, she slips and falls to her death in the ocean. Her body is discovered the next morning washed up at the shore.
Tanya confronts Jack about Quentin's true identity, but he is unwilling to tell her the full truth. Jack angrily drops her off at the airport, where she reunites with Albie.
Who are the married couples in The White Lotus season 2?
The White Lotus hotel also sees the arrival of two married couples - the Spillers and Sullivans. The tech entrepreneur, Ethan Spiller, and his wife, Harper, vacation with Ethan's college friend Cameron Sullivan and his wife, Daphne.
Ethan and Harper feel increasingly disconnected in their marriage and reach a breaking point during the Sicilian vacation. Meanwhile, Cameron and Daphne are in a marriage of convenience as they both have extramarital affairs that they overlook.
From the start, Cameron tries to seduce Harper, at one point, even flashing her while changing his clothes. After Harper tells her husband that Cameron kissed her, Ethan confronts his college friend and nearly drowns him in anger. He becomes paranoid that Harper and Cameron are having an affair behind his back and shares his suspicions with Daphne.
However, he is surprised to find Daphne rather indifferent to her husband's womanizing ways. After their conversation, the two walk towards a secluded island, implying that they hooked up.
Ethan may have slept with Daphne to settle scores with Cameron and get over feeling betrayed and angry, or he may have realized that he didn't want to go down the same treacherous path as his so-called friends. Viewers are left to make their own conclusions, but whatever the case, he returns a changed man. He then makes love to his wife and rekindles their lost passion, thus saving their marriage.
How does Albie Di Grasso get scammed?
The White Lotus season 2 also features three generations of the Di Grasso family - the recently-graduated Albie, his father Dominic, and his grandfather Bert.
The Hollywood producer, Dominic, suffers from a s*x addiction and hires the prostitute Lucia for her services during his stay. He arranges for Lucia and her friend Mia to stay at the luxurious hotel, paying for all their expenses. During this time, Lucia accidentally runs into Albie; unaware that he is Dominic's son, the duo quickly fall for each other.
She confides in Albie that the pimp, Alessio, is harassing her for money. To get rid of Alessio, Albie convinces his father to transfer €50,000 to Lucia's account. In exchange, he promises to cover up for him in front of his mother, who is tired of her husband's infidelity.
At the end of The White Lotus season 2, Lucia, Mia, and Alessio are revealed to be friends who scammed the unsuspecting young man for a large sum of money.
