This consists of Cameron and Daphne Sullivan, a married couple inclined to over-the-top PDA. Nonetheless, whereas they seem like the right pair to harmless onlookers, what occurs behind closed doorways tells a a lot totally different story. Right here’s my principle concerning Daphne and Cameron in The White Lotus Season 2.

‘The White Lotus’ Season 2 Episode 3 offers audiences a glimpse into the fact of Daphne and Cameron’s marriage
In The White Lotus Season 2 Episode 3, Daphne (Meghann Fahy) and Harper (Aubrey Plaza) took off for some procuring in Noto whereas Cameron (Theo James) and Ethan (Will Sharpe) stayed behind for some high quality bro time. Daphne bombards Harper with the information that – shock! – she truly rented a villa and plans for the 2 of them to spend the evening there, leaving the blokes on the lodge. Harper balks on the plan at first however rapidly relents, and the gals spend the evening consuming wine and consuming edibles.
Throughout their time within the villa, Daphne confesses that she is aware of Cameron has cheated on her, however accepts it. She explains to Harper that they each play video games with each other, and at first look, it would appear to be she’s effective with the state of affairs, however there’s a touch of unhappiness to her voice. We additionally study that Cameron thinks it’s human nature to cheat and explains to Ethan his reasoning. (Within the easiest of phrases, Cameron sucks.)
In the meantime, again on the lodge, Cameron persuades Mia (Beatrice Grannò) and Lucia (Simona Tabasco) to social gathering with them for the evening. All of them dose up on molly, and issues get wild. Nonetheless, whereas Cameron has zero points about hooking up with somebody whereas his spouse is away, Ethan declines a kiss from Mia earlier than passing out.

Do Daphne’s youngsters not belong to Cameron?
A part of episode 4 of The White Lotus Season 2 revolved round Harper’s discovery of a condom wrapper on the sofa in her lodge room. She didn’t deliver it as much as Ethan and, as an alternative, stewed over the probabilities. Nonetheless, in episode 5, Ethan sees the wrapper and asks Harper about it. He explains that he did nothing fallacious and the wrapper belonged to Cameron.
Throughout a visit to the winery, Daphne and Cameron engaged of their regular touchy-feely habits, however Harper can’t abdomen it.

Later that evening, Harper hints to Daphne that the blokes partied just a bit too exhausting whereas they have been away. In a blink-and-you-miss-it second, Daphne’s face falls on the information, however she recovers rapidly.
(*2*) Daphne says.

Nothing is because it appears in ‘The White Lotus’
The White Lotus revels within the artwork of misdirection, and nearly nothing is because it appears. I imply, we are making an attempt to resolve the thriller behind the lifeless physique floating within the ocean we noticed in episode 1. Throughout their journey to Noto, Daphne leaned into the thought of doing no matter it takes to make herself joyful, and that certainly doesn’t imply procuring sprees and indulgent holidays. Her response to Harper’s confusion in regards to the picture doesn’t make sense at first look, however I believe she’s confessing to Harper with out truly confessing to Harper.
With The White Lotus Season 2 having 13 episodes, we nonetheless have a methods to go earlier than we get each piece of the puzzle. However I’m preserving this principle in thoughts as a result of, clearly, there’s extra to Daphne than what we see.
The White Lotus streams on HBO Max.
