SPOILER ALERT: This piece discusses plot points from the seventh episode of The White Lotus. The White Lotus is entering its violence era and things are getting “tense” at Greg/Gary’s fancy party.

Then there’s the nice house above the posh resort, where tensions are running high. Jon Gries’ Greg/Gary, who planned to have his wife Tanya McQuoid, played by Jennifer Coolidge, killed in season two, before she drowned fending off her killers, and his sugar baby Chloe, played by Charlotte Le Bon, are throwing an “opulent” bash at their “dope” house with many of the guests of The White Lotus attending.
