Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) wonders if she’s been “cursed” by Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) from season one in a new episode of The White Lotus.
Tanya’s Greg Hunt and Jon Gries are the only characters returning from the first season, which was set at a White Lotus resort in Maui, Hawaii.
This season is set at another White Lotus resort in Sicily, as Tanya – whose husband Greg left her alone to go back to Denver for work – wonders if perhaps Belinda has “cursed” her as tensions between all other couples begin to ramp up.

The episode opens with a naked Lucia (Simona Tabasco) having sex with Albie (Adam DiMarco) when she asks if he cums for her, which he does.
Meanwhile, Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) wakes up in bed with a naked Jack (Leo Woodall) when Tanya calls her and says they’re going to Palermo and asks if she has any “cute things.”
Will (Ethan Spiller) wakes up and goes to the bathroom, where he finds the condom wrapper his wife Harper (Aubrey Plaza) found.
He asks what the condom wrapper is and she says, “Tell me,” adding that she found it on their couch yesterday.
‘Okay look, it’s not what you think. I have done nothing. It wasn’t me… it was him, I swear to God,” says Will, confusing Harper.
“Did he have sex on the couch?” Here? With whom?’ she asks and Will says, “With these Italian girls, we met at the bar.” They were whores.’
He says he can’t remember because he was “wasted” and he can’t remember and he was “really out.”
He adds that one of them tried to kiss him and he “freaked out” and nothing happened.
“I was out for the night and you molly with whores?” says Harper.
Will insists that she should be happy about this because all these things happened, but he did nothing.
Back in Albie’s room, Lucia gets ready to leave and awkwardly asks if he has her money, saying it’s 2,000 for overnight stays.
“I’m sorry, I thought you knew,” she says to a clumsy Albie, who says he didn’t know.
She says he is nice and he didn’t know and he doesn’t have to pay, but she adds that there is a crazy man asking her for money.
She says if he doesn’t want to see her again, she would understand, but he insists he likes her and wants to see her again.
She kisses him before leaving Albie’s hotel room as he is clearly conflicted.
Tanya and Portia have breakfast, while Tanya asks Portia if she thinks she is oblivious.
“Sometimes I think I should have started that poor women’s spa with that girl from Maui. You know, because she was a real healer. The real thing. But you know, sometimes I think those healers are a little bit witchy. Hmm. Maybe she cursed me,” Tanya says.
Albie is having breakfast with Bert and Dom when Albie asks for some money. Dom says he can give him 200 euros, but he says he needs more.
Mia and Lucia walk past Cameron, Daphne, Harper and Will and say he rented a car to visit some wineries.
“Yeah let’s get drunk. Maybe we can find some molly and get really furious,” Harper says before leaving the table, as Will and Cameron exchange odd looks.
Lucia and Mia are talking about Albie when Valentina comes over and Mia chases after her saying she can sing while Guisseppe is gone but she doesn’t want her to sing.
Dom goes to find Lucia and asks if they brought things to his room and Lucia says she paid for some food and stuff.
Dom says that’s fine, but in return she should stop seeing his son and ask her not to tell him about it.
He asks if they went to his dad’s room and she said no… but then said she was only there once.
Dom says it was “not cool” for them to go into his room and tells her not to do that again as they part amicably.
Albie runs into Portia before she leaves for Palermo as they awkwardly say goodbye before she leaves for Palermo with Tanya.
Valentina walks over to Isabella, who is chatting with her male colleague when she starts flirting with Isabella and talks about the spit she bought her.
