OMG is that why she showed Harper the picture of the kids rather than the trainer?

I don’t think so. She talked about the trainer to make herself out as not being a victim. She may or may not have a trainer she sleeps with, but at the end of the day, it’s her kids who give her the motivation to get over whatever Cameron does and not focus on it.

Eh, she says my trainer has blond hair and blue eyes, want to see a picture? Then shows a picture of a blond haired kid. Cameron has brown hair. Google it.

Yeah - I 100% believe that kid is her trainer's kid. And Cameron doesn't know. Maybe Daphne isn't a victim, but a woman with a backup plan.

An upper class woman having a baby with her trainer - while married- is not a backup plan by any means. Upper class women have children with their upper class husbands to lock in the financial support.

The father of her kids may be the trainer simply because Cameron wasn't able to get her pregnant and she wanted kids. It doesn't have to be part of some master back up plan.

What is up with Isabella that she doesn’t seem to realize what is up with Valentina. Does she not understand the guy is flirting with her, either? Is she very dim or is she ignoring sexual overatures on purpose?

Also curious about this. She was clearly not annoyed by Rocco so she either likes him back or maybe he’s gay? I think she likely aware of Valentina’s feelings but appears to be feigning ignorance to maintain a level of professionalism and because she isn’t interested? Unsure

She’s calling the kid her trainer. She’s making some innuendo about her life, that she’s not a victim because she can do whatever Cameron is doing and have sex with whomever she wants. She makes that point to Harper. Then when she shows her the picture, it’s her kids- the point is that she doesn’t want to cheat, that’s not what actually makes her feel better about it. She just wants her happy, very comfortable life with her kids and her husband. People are reading way into this. Her trainer did not father her children.

Also, even if Cameron had brown eyes, hasn’t anyone ever heard of recessive genes? My dad has blue eyes and my mom has brown. I’m one of four kids and only one of us have brown eyes. The rest of us have blue and green.

I think you and I are the only ones that see this in this thread. I tack it up to personal life experience and age. Sigh.

Great back up plan: Have a child with a low-wage earning trainer and when Cam finds out and divorces you, he burns you to the ground: you lose all your money,no alimony, house, etc, and are ostracized from your rich wife social group and are stuck with some dumb jock's kid. No. That is not what Daphne's doing. That is not the trainer's kid.

It's definitely not the trainer's kid. She is not banging him.

But, I think there could be some twist and we find that Daphne is the one with the $/comes from $ and Cameron's family isn't wealthy like he portrays/or they lost it.

Yeah she’s from the conquistador lineage of PR and owns half the island and all the rum distilleries.

That is Harper (with her very PR name!), not Daphne!

She is clueless. She likes Rocco.

The trainer is not the backup plan! Think bigger, more litigious or homocidal.

No. Remember she tells Harper to get a trainer? You think she’s telling Harper to have a baby? She’s not. Blue eyes are not the same thing as blond hair.

Yes, this is EXACTLY what I think she’s telling Harper. She’s telling her to occupy her mind with something or someone else. My god! It’s so obvious.

I'm the one that 100% think Daphne is banging her trainer - I'm 51 and have been married for 21 years. We can agree to disagree. I re-watched that scene and I don't think she's calling her kid her trainer (a really weird thing to say). She's warning Harper to stay out of it for sure, but she's not making up some weird story here.

It is really weird because he is a Shakespearean-trained British actor--and they are almost always amazing. He is so retrained in his performance to the point that it is just almost bizarre? At first, I thought it was because he was just uncertain and tentative with the American accent. Now, 5 episodes of the clueless smirk and the vacant stare are just not enough.

I think it's all about capturing the emotional constipation and sexual repression of the character, which I think comes across very well. Making the bold challenge to Cameron that much more interesting.

She definitely likes Rocco. I'm not so sure she's clueless about Valentina, but she definitely doesn't know what to do about it. And can we talk about Valentina? I don't mean to be offensive, but she comes across as possibly slightly on the spectrum (?) or something. What concierge/manager of a 5 star hotel doesn't know any jewelry stores to recommend? She then buys a brooch (which HBO is labeling "broach" in the subtitles! A dictionary, I beg of you) for a very junior co-worker and gives it to her in a totally awkward way and keeps on even when her feelings are clearly not returned. She's very off.

Harper is a harpy and warns of storms

Daphne is a water nymph
Cameron is crooked (river)

PP (and others) think the trainer is something Daphne made up in an effort to get Harper to back off and not blow up her marriage.
