The White Lotus Season 2 Episode 6 Review: Abductions

Can all of us agree that Jennifer Coolidge is getting many awards for her work on The White Lotus Season 2?

The White Lotus Season 2 Episode 6 was an ideal hour of this HBO drama as a result of it continued to peel away at these people on their trip in Italy.

Tanya is in means over her head, and there is not any telling how her journey will finish.

Series creator Mike White has been vocal about wanting Coolidge to stay round for future seasons, however what if that is only a smoke display screen to lure us right into a false sense of safety that Tanya will survive this time round?

Tanya does not make one of the best choices, as evidenced by taking medication and partying with somebody she knew she could not belief.

Quentin is hard to learn, however he desires to isolate Tanya, get her inebriated and medicines, and get her to have intercourse with Nicolo.

Nicolo was straightforward on the eyes, and you possibly can inform Tanya was smitten with him, even when she did discover a picture of her husband with Quentin, cowboy hats and all.

It’s laborious to not query whether or not Tanya will have a look at that picture the morning after and discover out she imagined Greg’s face and it is another person completely.

Then once more, we wanted the dots to start connecting sooner slightly than later, with “Abductions” being the penultimate episode of the season.

Greg leaving the lodge was completely timed for Quentin and his entourage to take an curiosity in Tanya.

I’ve had loads of theories about what these males plan to do to Tanya, however I’m now satisfied there might be footage of Tanya’s evening of ardour with Nicolo that might be used to set off a clause within the prenup that can get Greg a hefty payout.

I used to be involved they’d wish to kill her, however what if Tanya figures it out and outmaneuvers these males once they least count on it?

There was an emphasis on Nicolo having a gun, and I do not suppose that was solely to indicate how harmful these males are.

Quentin’s yacht was current on The White Lotus Season 2 Episode 1, not removed from the shore the place the lifeless our bodies have been in all probability floating within the water, so there is a good probability Tanya will take management of the narrative and issues will flip lethal.

It’s laborious to consider how pro-Jack Portia was originally of the episode, just for her to understand he is a much more nefarious determine than she’s been led to consider.

Portia was able to name Tanya out at breakfast when she tried to make her assistant conscious that issues did not add up about Quentin and Jack.

Now that Portia is aware of Quentin has no cash and stands to get a windfall, she ought to have the ability to put the puzzle items collectively.

But there is not any telling what’s going to occur with this present, and I’m afraid that irrespective of how a lot Portia tries to inform Jack he mentioned nothing, he would possibly take measures to silence her for good.

We do not know what these males are able to. They’re a rotten crowd, and with a lot cash at stake, they will not need their rip-off to go sideways on the final hurdle.

Jack was warned to maintain Portia away from the home as a result of they needed to get to Tanya.

Either means, I would not be shocked if Portia was killed within the crossfire, however I’d choose the 2 girls working collectively to smash the rip-off.

We additionally have to see Greg once more earlier than the season is over. Tanya deserves a scene calling him out for every part he is accomplished.

This man has been scamming her since day one, and it makes you marvel about all of the occasions he acted like he was about to die in Hawaii.

Then there’s Harper, Ethan, and Cameron, and the sophisticated dynamic that is getting worse by the minute.

It was about time Harper confronted Ethan about his lack of attraction to her. She does not strike me as the kind of individual to remain in a loveless relationship.

I do not suppose something occurred with Harper and Cameron within the lodge room. My principle is that Harper is messing with Ethan after his reactions to every part that is transpired on trip.

He did not bat an eye fixed when his spouse advised him his buddy stripped in entrance of her. If Harper is making an attempt to make Ethan jealous, then she’s performed the half very effectively.

There must be belief and communication for a relationship to operate, and, sadly, these two can not seem to discover the identical stage, which is a disgrace.

Ethan additionally has this pent-up rage about Cameron that can absolutely come out to play sooner slightly than later.

The present makes us suppose considered one of their group dies on this trip, however we’ll have to tune into The White Lotus Season 2 Episode 7 to reply that query.

Daphne is essentially the most enigmatic of the group as a result of she’s such a small a part of the story, however her reactions are very telling about what she believes.

We know Daphne is on the seaside within the season finale — after the our bodies pop up. What if she performed a component in these deaths and rushed to the solar loungers to make it appear like she did not do something improper?

Oh, the probabilities.

The Di Grasso boys lastly going to hint their roots gave us a few of the most intense and hilarious scenes thus far. Arriving at somebody’s home and telling them you are their household, however not talking their language is a bit a lot.

What did they hope to attain? Maybe Lucia would have given them some pointers.

It’s additionally potential there’s discord between the Di Grasso household, and perhaps somebody is paid to take the trio out whereas they’re on the lodge. It could be left-field, for positive, however it might be a stunning approach to tie this story up.

Lucia was understandably shaken up by Alesso, however I’m not shopping for what she’s promoting. If she’s hanging across the lodge with aspirations of marrying a wealthy man and working off to the U.S., how would she get overseas?

Surely, Alesso — or no matter his actual identify is — would have her journey paperwork and a few leverage. Something does not add up along with her story, however I appreciated how the Di Grasso household tried to defend her.

Dominic could not wait to see the again of her, however he needed to save lots of her when she was seemingly at risk. That says loads about who he’s as an individual.

Sure, he is accomplished some horrible issues, however no less than shades of goodness are inside him.

Valentina’s pursuit of Isabella was fairly unhappy. Clearly, she does not speak in confidence to anybody and is a little bit of a loner. I can not even start to think about how she will need to have felt having nobody to spend her birthday with.

The difficult a part of that’s how she approached Isabella. If she had been straight up with Isabella, she would not have set herself up for a lot disappointment.

Her evening of ardour with Mia will in all probability result in some remorse the next day, which may imply Valentina will take away her profession within the lodge.

Valentina could be very unhappy at her core, however I do not suppose she’s able to let somebody into her life.

There’s loads we do not find out about her previous, and I do not see us getting a lot data on that with one episode remaining.

The stage is ready for an exhilarating finale, however I want we had extra readability on what number of our bodies there are when that is over.

What are your theories for the season finale?

Hit the feedback under.

Catch the ultimate episode on Sunday at 9 p.m., solely on HBO.
