Me too!! I yelled at the screen, get TF out of there! Red flags are going off and she’s ignoring it. Or she has no idea how to get back to Tonya/hotel, even if she left.

She’s a PA so I feel like this should be in her wheelhouse…

They were in Cefalu, which is an hour's drive from Palermo. It's the middle of the night. She's a bit stuck.

Could Mia have tried to blackmail Valentina after sex? In the interview the actress was talking about their original dynamic and mentioned the table turning.

I thought it odd when Ethan’s gaze focused on two random kayakers in the ocean. Hopefully the guest deaths are not random extras.

Just found this super interesting tweet and wanted to share with WTL book club here haha.

So Mike White really clearly references a classic Italian film starring, of all people, Monica Vitti in the Noto episode:

The film is called L'Avventura and the plot is, per google:

Michelangelo Antonioni's classic of Italian cinema, two lovely young women, Claudia (Monica Vitti) and Anna (Léa Massari), join the latter's lover, Sandro (Gabriele Ferzetti), on a boat trip to a remote volcanic island. When Anna goes missing, an extensive search is launched. In the meantime, Sandro and Claudia become involved in a romance despite Anna's disappearance, though the relationship suffers from the guilt and tension brought about by the looming mystery.

There’s only one more episode left this season?! Seems like an awful lot to wrap up.

The trip to Sicily was Greg’s idea correct? I could not “see” a young Greg in that framed photo, but I assume it’s him.

Was there a discussion of their prenup in an earlier episode?

And are we all still thinking Ethan and Harper have a better marriage?? They admitted they aren’t even attracted to each other. They haven’t even had kids yet.

Anyone think the pimp ends up killing one of the men or Lucia? Albie is crazy to still be hanging out with her after the car chase.

The Tanya thing is so weird. The gays are after her money obviously.

Brit guy is trouble and might end up knocking Portia off since she knows what he does to earn his keep and told her too much about a plan to get $ to save the villa. She’s slowly putting that together.

Could Valentina kill Mia because she is closeted gay and doesn’t want her secret out?

Who knows? I have no idea how they can tie everything up in just one more episode.

There were lots of hints that he was less than ideal but you seemed to pick all the ones that made you seem vaguely prejudice and classist.

Portia willingly had a fling with someone she met on vacation she didn’t know well. And clearly it has soured. I am not surprised but I’m not sure it makes the point you want it to.

I now think the gays are more into blackmail instead of murder. Honestly there were buckets of opportunities to kill her that night. Slip her some bad coke! Push her off a balcony. She was totally hopped up, would have be a piece of cake. So I don’t think he will kill portia but I do think he will keep her away regardless of how much she feels like she’s been kidnapped. I actually liked his speech about this being the best time to be alive.

I don’t think anyone will be murdered, like last season it will be incidental

What if it's not that at all, but Greg asked them to give Tanya the time of her life, knowing that he was going to be dying soon and wanting her to have her dream Italian vacation that he couldn't give her alone.

I connected the "cowboy" comment but agree I didn't think his picture looked like him. Yes, they discussed the prenup in Epi 2. Tanya encouraged him to quit his job but he pointed out that if the marriage failed he would be left with nothing per the prenup so felt he still needed to work.

Yeah the photo looked nothing like a younger version of Greg. I assume it is though when Tanya said 'wth' when she picked it up. But, I thought that would be enough to shock me out of a drugged daze if I saw my husband photo's in some gay man's lair.

Love how Mike White randomly drops red pills in this season and last season. The British nephew giving some well needed perspective and context to rebuke Portia’s woke prattling about the world falling apart is a prime example.

You guys need to pause the episode and pull up a photo of him on your phone or something. It's his picture...

I like this idea honestly. Maybe Quentin will be inheriting from Greg when Greg dies, and that's where the windfall is coming from -- them showing Tanya a nice time is what Greg wants in return.
