Lived: Ethan and Harper Spiller
There was a time early on the finale when it regarded like Ethan’s (Will Sharpe) jealousy may get the higher of him and spell an premature finish for his spouse, Harper (Aubrey Plaza) who he was constructive had cheated on him with Cameron Sullivan (Theo James). He was nearing a breaking level and affected by tortuous hallucinations of the 2 within the throes of passionate amore. She denies it, however he is by no means fairly offered by her story that the 2 simply shared a kiss. Ethan later had his personal brush with loss of life after Cameron bought the higher hand on him as the 2 scuffled out within the Ionian Sea. Fortunately a bystander was there to separate the 2, or Ethan might need ended up on the fallacious aspect of this listing.
Died: Quentin
It was the tip of the road for the smooth-talking, cocktail-sipping British ex-pat from England (Tom Hollander) within the finale. Whatever his recreation was with Tanya McQuoid-Hunt (Jennifer Coolidge) and her assistant Portia (Haley Lu Richardson), the jig was up when a terrified and out-of her-mind Tanya emerged from a cabin beneath deck with the pistol that she present in Nicolo’s homicide bag. The boozy charmer from Palermo was caught up within the hail of gunfire earlier than we might discover out if he was actually in cahoots with Tanya’s husband Greg (Jon Gries) to abduct and kill Tanya so he might “beautify his home” as she put it. He gave the impression to be in full management of the state of affairs — till he wasn’t. No extra opera visits and Palazzo soirées for the mercurial man from Palermo.
Lived: Cameron and Daphne Sullivan
Superficial tech entrepreneur Cameron (Theo James) and his spouse Daphne (Meghann Fahy) made it off the island safely. Though it appeared that Cameron’s advances and indiscretion with Harper might need value him his life in his brawl with Ethan, he survived. Despite a consensus among the many viewing viewers that he was probably the most deserving of loss of life, Cameron lives on to little doubt proceed to cheat on his spouse Daphne every time he will get the prospect. Meanwhile, Daphne stays content material with compartmentalizing her ache and embarrassment so long as she will get to have a bit tryst of her personal right here and there as effectively.
Died: Niccolo
Tanya’s mafioso companion and full monty fanatic, Niccolo (Stefano Gianino), got here aboard Quentin’s yacht geared up with a homicide bag that was supposed for her, however mockingly and maybe karmically, it proved to be the supply of his personal demise. After grabbing the bag and taking the steel-plated pistol from inside it, Tanya shot Niccolo a number of instances with it as he tried to drive his manner into the cabin the place she was having her meltdown. Although we by no means actually bought to know the rakish Italian ringer very effectively, it is in all probability protected to say that it was riddance. Live by the sword, die by the phrase, proper?
Lived: The Di Grasso Men
Bert (F. Murray Abraham), Dominic (Michael Imperioli), and Albie DiGrasso (Adam DiMarco) all made their solution to the airplane sure for the United States collectively safely. While none of them ever actually gave the impression to be in a lot hassle so far as coming near loss of life, issues might have gone quite a bit in another way if they’d not paid Lucia and her accomplices that performed them like a fiddle to the tune of fifty,000 Euros. A tricky life lesson discovered by the harmless, however self-righteous Albie. Hopefully, he continues to assist his father in making amends together with his mom.
Died: Tanya McQuoid-Hunt
Alas, it’s with nice sorrow that we bid goodbye to fan favourite and the one holdover from Season 1 (we’re not counting that scumbag, Greg): Tanya. All she needed was to have an Italian dream trip and be like Monica Vitti. What she bought was swindled by Quentin (and probably her personal husband) in what was actually probably the most tragic story arc of Season 2.
Tanya’s drowning answered the query we had been asking all season of who was discovered floating within the Ionian Sea at the start of Episode 1. We bought to take pleasure in her quirks, her romantic romps, and her wide-eyed naïveté earlier than her luck lastly ran out, and she or he plummeted to her loss of life making an attempt to flee Quentin’s yacht. We will miss her, but it surely was run for 2 consecutive seasons on the present.
Lived: Portia and Jack
It was fairly the journey for Portia throughout her week at The White Lotus. After arriving as a frazzled and annoyed assistant to Tanya, she had romances with each Albie and Jack (Leo Woodall) that may finally increase her horizons and permit her to take inventory of her personal existence. And although Jack proved too good to be true, she got here away from her adventures with a brand new appreciation for all times and a attainable relationship with Albie as the 2 reconnected on the airport on the best way residence. Speaking of Jack, the wayward “nephew” to Quentin confirmed that ultimately, there was some goodness in an in any other case wounded and misplaced younger man as he let Portia go away Sicily as an alternative of doing one thing far worse to her.
Lived: Lucia and Mia
The two con artists (Simona Tabasco and Beatrice Granno) got here up large ultimately after enjoying nearly all of the male White Lotus vacationers like a fiddle. In truth, Mia got here out of it with a brand new job as her sexual dalliance with resort supervisor Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore) helped her land the gig because the piano-playing muse at The White Lotus. While they began out as what gave the impression to be two bold escorts, they proved to be those holding all of the playing cards by the tip of the season. Speaking of Mia’s new gig behind the piano, Giuseppe additionally lived — however wasn’t too pleased about being fired and changed by a younger woman who bought the higher of him and stole his job.
