The White Lotus season 2 recap
The second season took place along the coast of Sicily, introducing a new group of wealthy guests who enjoyed the resort's luxury.
One main plot line was about Ethan (Will Sharpe) and Harper (Aubrey Plaza), a newly wealthy couple trying to figure out how to handle their changing relationship. While on vacation with Ethan's old college friend, Cameron (Theo James), and his wife, Daphne (Meghann Fahy), tensions arose as doubts and temptations put their marriages to the test.
Since Cameron was flirting and Harper was insecure, they had shady encounters that made them dislike each other even more. In the end, the tension between Ethan and Harper sparked their love again, while Daphne gave hints about how she deals with cheating, leaving their relationships open to different interpretations.
Two Sicilian women, Mia (Beatrice Grannò) and Lucia (Simona Tabasco), played key roles in showing how immoral the guests were. Lucia wooed Dominic (Michael Imperioli), who was already having a hard time with his marriage because he had cheated on his wife before.
Meanwhile, his innocent son, Albie (Adam DiMarco), fell in love with Lucia without realizing that she was trying to trick him. Lucia made Albie think she was in danger, which got him to get his dad to give her €50,000. After some time, she left with the money, showing that it was all a trick.
Tanya McQuoid, played by Jennifer Coolidge, an oddball billionaire, came back from season 1. Quentin (Tom Hollander), who wanted to kill her for money, led her into a plot that he was planning.
When Tanya found out about the plan, she killed Quentin and his friends but drowned while trying to get away. Her assistant, Portia (Haley Lu Richardson), almost had the same thing happen to her.
The White Lotus season 3 episode 1 will be available to stream on HBO and Max.
