The White Lotus season 2

I feel like this would fit with how characters on the show largely act out of self interest, and the main way they hurt others is by being inept or oblivious to how their actions impact others.

The first “spoiler” about the season that I remember coming out during actor interviews was something along the lines of “Greg is a terrible person.” That is why most commenters aren’t giving Greg the benefit of the doubt here.

Vulture published an interview with Will Sharpe today, and there’s some background on how he and White understood the dynamics of Harper and Ethan’s marriage. I’m guessing the question that’s “hard to answer at this point” means there are big things to come tonight for H&E. (Which was also teased in the previews, so not a big surprise.)

Could Ethan be closet gay or severely depressed? Incel in college and never wants to have sex with his wife. Not normal.

And all the intense running, spacing out, and watching Cam have sex. Maybe he’s closeted?

What if both Tanya and Greg survive in order to have a Season 3 of “Will they or won’t they (kill each other)”?

Ok, here’s my dead pool predictions for tonight: Alessio (killed by Albie accidentally or purposefully), Giuseppe (after some sort of struggle trying to get his job back), Quentin (scheme doesn’t go well)

Possibilities I’m less sure about: Jack, Bert, Mia/Lucia, Isabella (where is she in that first scene?). I also think Daphne is involved in some kind of murder or coverup.

First episode said dead guests. Hookers and Nonno.

For those who didn't already know, the story is moving backwards. The "first" episode is really the last. And tonight (the "last" episode) is the first. And all will be explained.

How hard it is for a 20-ish year old prostitute to get a Green card into the US? Or just overstay a travel visa. Isn't the Hollywood Italian family filthy rich? How can she make $3k (?) a night but can't afford a plane ticket to the States?

Unless she marries a US citizen, it's nearly impossible for her to get a green card. She could get a visitor's visa and overstay her visa, yes. I don't think Albie will marry her.

The 3k for the one night was for both her and Mia, so $1500 each. And Lucia made it clear this wasn't a normal payday for her. This is someone who hustles for money a lot. It's not even clear how long she has been doing this or how often she does. I would assume that IRL, most jobs are not for the whole night and aren't with wealthy and generous American Johns (Dom has his issues but he has been very generous with Lucia, adding her to the room and including Mia in things even though it's not really what he signed up for). And native Sicilians are NOT rich, that's a major plot point on the show -- unemployment is high and it's common for Italian Americans to go to Italy looking for relatives and discover they are much worse off than their American counterparts.

Lucia recognizes that Dom, and now Albie, are unusually lucrative marks, which is why they have attracted her attention as much as they have. Otherwise she would presumably have moved on to other opportunities.

Easy to overstay over 90 days. State sept does nothing

Also if you marry an American on day 91, you’ll get a green card. Much easier and faster than filing and waiting for a K1 fiancé visa. Or get married in Mexican or Caribbean and get green card. Lawyers literally advise this, even for white collared workers marrying Americans.

She said it was her online escort prostitute profile Dom reached out on. Hence she scouted out the boat arrival.

Why wouldn't a rich incel dork like him float 'fly to America with me'? She's an Italian peasant, she's not going to say no.

Because Albie has more going for him than that. He hasn't got his mojo yet, but he's graduated from Stanford recently, has friends from there, and will marry one of them. He's not a total incel. Just a little bit slow to get going socially.
