Ps - this isn’t a spoiler since both images are from previous episodes.

Is that Cameron behind them?

Yes, but that’s from the most recent episode when both couples went to the beach together. Daphne leaves shortly after to go get a massage.

Hmmm. I don't think so, though. the YSL bag is Daphne's, right? That white bag with white straps and kind of a tan top -- I think that's a bag the hotel provides to everyone. Watch the opening scene of the season again -- multiple people have that same bag on their beach chairs, hanging from the back etc. One of the survivor contestants talking to Daphne has one, and you can see from the establishing shot of the beach at the beginning that the other survivor contestant has one hanging from the back of her chair, too. Daphne could have just brought this to the beach with her own bag.

Listen, I’m sorry ya’ll feel called out over like two comments criticizing lazy boring rich person vacations. If you were totally happy with how you vacation, these comments wouldn’t bug you. Think about it.

I do a lot of cool vacations and wouldn't be caught dead on a cruise or at an all inclusive but the comments are so cliche and annoying. "Oh getting to know the locals is the only way to travel! The best food is at the hidden-away places (subtext: that you will never find bc I'm better than you!) I would never go to one of those toursity places" Barf

The comments aren’t about getting to know the locals, they are about traveling to a place like Sicily and eating all your meals at the hotel. It is even a subject of commentary on the show, with Cameron asking why they even bother with menus. Also, the conversation has been greatly prolonged by you complaining about it, so good job.

Looking at the establishing shot again showing the whole beach before focusing in on Daphne, I spot 5 of these bags on different people's chairs (white handles, tan-ish top, tan sides, white middle and bottom) so it must be something the hotel leaves in people's rooms for use on the beach.

This reminds me of when I was in Maui and all these ladies had the same beach bag like this and I asked the front desk about it since I thought I missed out on the freebie. Nope, all the women supposedly purchased it from the hotel boutique, I felt like such a poor for asking! And yes, I am one of those people that this trip was a splurge for me and I felt like I needed to maximize my time rather than just sitting at the pool, which don’t get me wrong was still glorious.

I would normally joke about those women being basic for buying the same bag, except I too have found myself on a beach vacation but realized my beach bag is inadequate (like I’ll bring a tote that doesn’t stand up or that is too susceptible yo getting sand inside when you set it down) and had to buy from the hotel boutique. And of course it costs 4x what it should and isn’t your style but I don’t want to spend the week digging my floppy handles out of the sand or brushing sand off my book.

Speaking of books on the beach, anyone think it was weird when Cameron said he had to go up to his room to get a book in the last episode? He doesn’t seem like a reader. And then the book he grabs looks like a novel with seems especially out of character.

I think it was a purposeful choice by the show to make it feel off, to justify Ethan’s suspicion.

The story for the family guys seems to be their treatment of and expectations for women. I could see the grandpa dying or intentionally drowning to get his homecoming, but no murders. Albie probably gets scammed by Lucia and eventually adopts his dad and grandpa’s view of women.

The best bet for a murder or accidental death is the Tanya/Portia plot. Tanya is wearing the same dress as the godfather mannequin and Portia previously wore a graphic tee with the car exploding. Are they actually unintentional targets of some other plot?

This makes sense to me. The old guy could be there to commit suicide.

If she lured Harper to Nolo fully expecting Cameron to be bad and possibly do something bad to trap Ethan while out there? What if she's luring Ethan to the beach so that Cameron can try to kill him or something? Maybe that's the extra thing she has learned to do to amuse herself and not be bothered by Cameron.

Not really sure because it seems like Cameron is the psychopath and not her, but it certainly would be shocking.

I would also enjoy it if Daphne killed Cameron or arranged for his death. Maybe she's tired of his cheating, or SHE is having an affair with Ethan and wants to switch over now that he's rich. Or she doesn't want to take the fall for whatever financial dealings he's involved in. He'd be the bull elephant separated from the herd and she'd go on with her little elephant kids. And she'd be following through on her threat to cut off his balls etc. if he cheated.

The death in S1 was a direct consequence of substance dependency relapse. It was foreshadowed by this point in the story. So my short list for deaths is Ethan and Lucia. Ethan is cracking up; Lucia is flirting with danger.

I don’t see any chemistry between Ethan and Daphne.

Here's the juice:

Portia does not die. Tanya does not die either. She is blackmailed, but does not die.
Think a more unlikely victim (s) for the death, and a VERY surprising yet totally rational culprit.

I travel like I do and am similarly appalled by lack of interest in the surroundings but think you’re coming off really annoying and pretentious, fwiw. And it has virtually nothing to do with the plot of the show so it’s needlessly distracting.

I honestly think Isabella is a decent contender. We know so much about her and there really isn’t much reason for that. The Valentina plot will be relevant in the end.
