The White Lotus returned to HBO with season 2 Episode 1 on October 30, 2022. First Episode has already teased multiple deaths. Episode 1 introduces all the characters and their plethora of problems, sets up how we will explore all the characters, and warns us of the upcoming turn of events.
The episode starts with a one-week time jump into the future, where Daphne finds a body in the ocean, and Valentina is informed of multiple dead guests. The foreshadowing of a murder mystery is a classic White Lotus move, as director and showrunner Mike White has proved by keeping the pattern up in both seasons.
Viewers once again greet Tanya with her new husband Greg and assistant Portia. Tanya and Greg’s marriage already seems wobbly, and the episode’s ending hints at Greg’s blatant infidelity.
Meanwhile, Albie, the only seemingly normal Di Grasso, meets Portia at the poolside and sparks fly. But they can’t catch a break from his promiscuous grandfather and cheating father.
Valentina also has a tough time managing the hotel’s upkeep, and her personal life with Rocco, while also chasing off Lucia and Mia from her hotel.
Harper can’t come to terms with how ignorant and shallow Ethan’s college friend and his wife are. She’s only further confused when Cameron almost deliberately appears naked before her, and she suspects something fishy is going on with the Babcocks inviting them.
By this episode’s end, the audience knows a whole deal more about the characters introduced and is curious which one ends up dead by the end of the week at The White Lotus.
Episode 1’s ending gave us no hints about the victim’s identity, but it did establish that Greg is not the only cheater. Dominic is clearly turning out to be more like his father than he would care to admit as the episode reveals that Lucia’s American “buyer” is actually him, and the episode ends as they delve into the passions of the night.
Who do you think are the mystery guests who will end up dead at The White Lotus, Sicily, Italy? Will Tanya confront Greg about his late-night “work calls?” Is it possible that the body in the ocean is Lucia or Mia?
The White Lotus season 2 will return with new episodes every Sunday on HBO Max.
