Predictions for The White Lotus finale have been rolling in almost all over the internet—from TikTok to Twitter to every entertainment publication in Googling distance. Who will die? Who faces Italian jail time, incarcerato per omicidio? (You may be able to guess what that means in English, but if not: incarcerated for homicide.)
Well, we finally know who’s going home in a casket, who’s riding in the cop car, and who can return to America with nothing more than a guilty conscience. The White Lotus Season 2 finale aired tonight, and boy, was it wild. We wouldn’t expect any less from Mike White, the creator who brought us two warped seasons of this show (and School of Rock)!
At the beginning of The White Lotus, as was the case with Season 1, we learn that someone dies in the first episode. Daphne (Meghann Fahy) swims into the ocean and her arm brushes against a dead body. She yelps, runs out, and hotel concierge Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore) rushes to the scene. We find out multiple “guests” have died. But who, exactly, gets the ax? And is anyone guilty of first degree murder?
