That's another thing, I was hoping we'd see Belinda off somewhere doing something great, living her best life. But instead you see her (along with the pregnant woman from the first episode, btw) waving from the shore greeting the new set of guests. There were all these small and intersting nuances that went nowhere.

There's a second season - these are the people that will have a character arc - hopefully. And I hope that Kai comes back.

Doubt anyone would be back. Next season is a different White Lotus resort.

Yes, a whole new cast and I think I read that the loation is going to be a ski resort.

But isn’t that the point of the show? The cycle of exploitation continues. The rich people just continue on their merry ways. Shane leaves the resort with a handshake after stabbing the manager. Paula leaves Kai to face whatever his fate is. Jennifer Coolidge leaves Belinda after getting her hopes up. Etc etc.

This.

Are our main characters changed? Sure, a little.

I actually thought Shane was changed. He looked genuinely stricken after he inadvertently killed Armond then hopeful and genuinely loving when he saw Rachel again. Maybe it won't last but there was something there. The daughter was genuinely sweet and protective to her friend after her major assholery to the people who had been nothing but generous to her. And the Mossbachers, who didn't seem like bad people, got out of their own @sses and managed to connect with one another (minus Quinn, who found more meaning in the beauty of nature). Belinda was disappointed but received a massive tip for a few days' annoyance and then stood up for herself. And the psychically tormented Jennifer Coolidge seemed to find a bit of peace and happiness, and some wisdom about her bad emotional habits. I thought there was a quiet beauty to it. With the exception of Paula's and Armond's dark arcs.

It looked like at least a few hundred dollars, so not nothing. Just a shame she got her hopes up.

I thought it was enough to start her business as a strings free gift, without Coolidge character involved as a backer. I thought it was thousands and I got stressed about her throwing it in a drawer and figured it was going to be stolen.

If he wanted the theft not to look like it was perpetrated by an insider who knew the value of one bracelet, he did the (criminally) right thing. What thief would steal just one bracelet when he can easily grab everything?

But grabbing everything wasn't part of Paula's social justice plan.
