The White Lotus Season 2 Episode 7 Recap
It’s a new day at The White Lotus hotel, and Ethan can’t stop imagining Cameron and Harper having sex. Daphne and Cameron FaceTime their kids. Both couples have breakfast together. Ethan is quiet all the time. Afterwards, Ethan confronts Harper and wants her to be honest about sleeping with Cameron. The couple gets into a fight. Harper tells him about Cameron touching her inappropriately and how they kissed in their room after taking shots at the bar the other day.
Ethan doesn’t believe that they just kissed. He keeps accusing Harper of lying to him. An angry Ethan goes to the beach and quarrels with Cameron. After beating up Cameron, Ethan tells Daphne that he thinks something happened between Cameron and Harper. Daphne calms him and takes him away from the beach. It looks like they also had sex. Before dinner, Cameron pays Lucia the money he owes her.
At the dinner table, Ethan, Harper, Cameron and Daphne act as if nothing has happened. In their hotel room, Harper asks Ethan about what will happen to them. Ethan starts kissing Harper, and the couple has sex.
Albie asks Lucia how he can help her, and she asks him to stay. He suggests Lucia come to LA with him. Albie asks Dominic for 50 thousand Euros to give to Lucia, but his father refuses.

When Albie tells the same to Lucia, she gets emotional. The two again have sex in Albie’s room. Lucia sneakily walks out of Albie’s room in the morning.

The White Lotus Season 2 Episode 7 Review: Final Thoughts
In season 2, it was the rich who suffered the most. It’s good to see a change that no one from the hotel and Sicily got affected by the wealthy’s people’s holiday. Mia and Lucia got what they wanted, and Valentina had fun. Things ended well for Portia as she and Albie bonded again at the airport. The season was quite predictable. Yet, it was sometimes fun to watch how the holiday turned out to be a weird experience for everyone. However, the rich are hardly ever bothered with anything.
We finally said goodbye to our season 1 favourite. Sadly, Tanya won’t get to holiday at another branch of The White Lotus hotel.
