White Lotus Key Art

The luxurious malaise of “The White Lotus” continues. This week, whispers and worries ripple through the Sicilian resort. Kate and Jaclyn, never ones to shy away from speculation, dissect Laurie’s divorce with the surgical precision of seasoned gossipmongers.

Meanwhile, Timothy’s business dealings back home seem to be going south, threatening to sour his lavish getaway. And in what might be a breakthrough (or a breakdown), Rick tentatively confronts his family trauma during a meditation session with Amrita. One wonders if inner peace can truly be found amidst such opulent surroundings.

Elsewhere, Chelsea, forever the expat, finds common ground with Chloe. Whether this blossoms into a genuine connection or curdles into another White Lotus-style clash remains to be seen. And let’s not forget Gaitok, who finally reveals his feelings for Mook.

“The White Lotus” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
