She is alluding to an affair she’s not having because the absolute worst think in Daphne’s mind is for anyone (including herself!) to think she’s a victim. She could cheat if she wanted to, but she doesn’t. She was very out of it when she threw the phone over to Harper. And that is because she was forced to face the idea Cameron cheated on her again, even in paradise. |

Yeah I don't view Isabella's response to Valentina's overture as "clueless". I think she knows exactly what Valentina is doing/thinking and is choosing to play dumb because it's the easiest way to reject Valentina without actually having to turn her down. Just smile and and nod. I've done this many times in a work environment, usually with some older man who takes a too friendly interest in me that could maaaaybe be him seeing me as a daughter but probably not. The goal is to not embarrass your boss but calling them out on what they are doing. However, I think Isabella is annoyed and weirded out by the decision to move Rocco and I think if Valentina pushes too far, Isabella might decide to complain. And since Valenina, like Armand, is technically the boss but doesn't really have true power, she'll lose her job. |

Unless Ethan tells Cameron his kid is the trainer’s out of anger in a fight after Harper tells him (whether the kid really is his or not) …and that’s enough for somebody to kill…be it Daphne or Cameron …who knows. |

m Sigh. It’s sexual harassment!!! Women shouldn’t be worried about embarrassing someone who is sexually harassing them in the workplace…even if it is another woman !! I had an old lesbian sexually harassed me at my first job at 22 and my co-workers thought it was hilarious. It was not to me. It was awful and she would show up in my lab when I was alone. |

And she called Tanya Peppa Pig, and told Nono he was old! She does not have a lot of social graces, not sure how she made it to the top of this hotel. Hard work I guess. |

Intriguing: "Compared with the Egyptian model, the Asian sphinx had eagle wings, was frequently female, and often sat on its haunches with one paw raised in depictions. In Greek traditions, the sphinx also had wings, as well as the tail of a serpent—in legends, it devours all travelers unable to answer its riddle." https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-egypt/the-sphinx |

I re-read the book this weekend, and that quote was at the top of my mind as well. I was actually debating going to get the book so I could type out that passage to share here — you beat me to it! |

I have been sexually harassed by a woman in the workplace and agree it shouldn't be embarrassing, but the reaction of your coworkers is not uncommon. Just because it shouldn't be embarrassing doesn't mean it doesn't feel that way. Also, no one takes it seriously. I still have PTSD from the workplace harassment I experienced, and I think part of the reason why is that everyone I tried to tell about it discounted it as no big deal because my harasser was a woman. It's like she benefitted from misogyny, because since women aren't taken seriously, her repeated physical advances on me were assumed to be harmless. But an unwanted touch is an unwanted touch, especially at work. No one cared though, and I did feel embarrassed because I was made so uncomfortable by something everyone else seem to view as no big deal. |

I think it’s funny Mike White named the hotel and show The White Lotus, basically claiming both for himself and taking the blame (or credit) for everything ha.
I read that he used to work with Jack Black a lot and named some of their stuff Black and White or similar, heh. |

Valentina is comical, but not at all believable as the GM of a five star resort. Someone in that actual position would be incredibly professional at all times, not calling guests 'old', sexually harassing underlings, clip clopping around in her ridiculous high heels berating sex workers in the lobby in front of other guests and so on and so forth. |

| In the first episode, Daphne tells the women that “We” are leaving. I don’t think anything happens to Cameron. I also think it’s more than just two. When Rocco tells Valentina that A guest drowned, he adds there were other guests (plural). Maybe the con artists turn on each other and Portia and Tanya get caught up. |

Yes, she's telling her to get a F boy! Not a baby! You think Daphne is a great mother and spends so much time with her kids that she forgets her husband is a douche? |

But if Daphne wanted to create a persuasive cover story, she would definitely want to say "we" to the women she meets on the beach so that if they talk to the cops, they remember that she seemed confident that she would be leaving with her husband. If she said "I'm leaving" and then happened upon her dead husband in the water, it would look crazy suspicious. Though I also think Cameron probably lives, in part because right now the most obvious outcome seems to be Ethan killing Cameron, and this show generally doesn't go with obvious outcomes. |

The scene is purposefully ambiguous. They had her go on and on about this adorable trainer with blonde hair and blue eyes, two recessive genes. And then show a photo of a blonde haired blue eyed kid. I'm not SURE the trainer is the dad, but the show is clearly leaving the ambiguity there, putting the question out there. This is a show where all the background choices are dripping in meaning. There is a photo of St. Lucia in one of the rooms. |
