The White Lotus Season 2 Episode 6 Review: Final Thoughts
A changed Harper is bothering Ethan, and he suspects Cameron. Did something happen between the two? Well, we are as confused as Ethan. Valentina and Mia have not gotten close, and Lucia is involving Albie in her issues. Tanya and Portia are in a big mess, and it’s too late for them to get out of the situation. Will Ethan kill Cameron, and Albie die because of Alessio? Once the pianist returns, he will accuse Mia of trying to kill him so she can play at the hotel. Everyone is in trouble here, but some are going to die.
I wish the makers had dropped more direct hints about who it is. While I am all in for building suspense, the story is moving slowly. It will be too much to unravel and wrap up in the last episode.
