White Lotus Review and Recap: Episode 5, “That’s Amore”

Shit is hitting the fan, folks!!!

SPOILERS ABOUND.

My thoughts on the episode…

• 👶🏼 Cameron’s kids are, uh, not Cameron’s kids. At least, Daphne heavily implied to Harper that their children are actually fathered by Daphne’s “trainer” (who knows if he’s even a trainer). This, it seems, is Daphne’s revenge for Cameron’s known infidelity and antics. Yet Cameron goes to great lengths to try and cover up his and Ethan’s night with the escorts, getting pissed at Ethan in the vineyards for obviously finally telling Harper. Ethan really had no choice though—Harper knew.
• 👀 As I guessed in last week’s review, the “uncle/nephew” duo is certainly a man and his hired Essex boy prostitute. Portia certainly did NOT get the hint about this—she’s embarrassingly in love with nephew Jack, who can’t even pay for dinner—but Tanya now knows thanks to walking in on them. So… Quentin and Jack and their gang of gay guys are going to scam Tanya, right? Or maybe attempted murder?
• 🤠 Speaking of Quentin: that story he told. About the cowboy he fell in love with. All the details he gave… is it Greg? Is Greg in on the scam? Are Greg and Quentin former or current lovers? Quentin’s question about whether Tanya is willing to die for beauty is definitely some foreshadowing.
• 💰 A good episode for Freud and his followers, if the Di Grasso family has anything to say about it! Lucia is doing her thing and it…
