The White Lotusis half-way through its third season, and it’s still one ofthe best shows on Max.
Episode number five will surely build on that momentum.
Until then, though, here are theHBOstaple’s ten greatest entries so far.
Apparently the latter is the jealous pop in.
Armond (Murray Bartlett) has truly gone off the deep end.
Later on, we see some clear bitterness between him and Cameron (Theo James).
The viewer wonders how their relationship will develop.
It’s a heavy moment for the couple, to be sure.
Harper sees Ethan talking to the women who slept with Cameron, which makes things worse.
Then Ethan sees Cameron and his wife drinking together, and he’s not feeling too good about it.
This episode sees Portia slowly realizing that Jack may not be a good fit for her.
Meanwhile, the Di Grasso family visit isn’t the homecoming they expected.
Their ASMR session is very relaxing.
By contrast, Armond is anything but relaxed.
The man is five years sober, but we can tell that’s about to change.

Also, Nicole (Connie Britton) and Rachel’s career-talk takes a great turn.
The ending about Mark’s father wonderfully caps off the series' second episode.
Lucia wasn’t paid in full, and who knows if she’s going to get the rest.

A terrifically funny moment is when she starts telling one of her new friends her life story.
Ethan lies about what happened, which is definitely the wrong move.
Giuseppe’s performance that evening is even better.

Then there’s the make-out duel in the end, rounding out a very solid episode.
The moment her water breaks is one of the season’s greatest moments.
Armond sitting with Belinda is another nice touch.

Rachel and her mother-in-law have an eye-opening conversation, as Rachel discovers that she’s a trophy wife.
Then we get to Kai’s robbery, which is very well done.
This episode ends with a victory for Mark, and the opposite for a few others.

At one point, he talks about leprosy to some ladies at the bar.
Meanwhile, Armond is so whacked out that he’s ready to ruin Shane’s honeymoon.
There is also a telling conversation about marriage being based off of sex.

Of course, the highlight of “Mysterious Monkeys” has got to be Tanya.
Overall,this episode magnificently displays everything that we love about the one and only Tanya McQuoid.
Belinda’s arc is completed, as she starts the episode compassionate but ends it jaded and uncaring.

This affects Rachel’s decision to leave her husband, whose arguments are so well-written and acted.
It’s absolutely priceless watching Armond decide to crash once he knows he’s about to get fired.
No doubt this set high expectations for season two.

Harper calls Cameron an idiot, something so suspicious that no one else at the table has a reply.
