Why is Greg on the lodge in Thailand?

Greg is now the one character in The White Lotus who has appeared in all three seasons. And regardless of hiring Quentin (Tom Hollander) to kill Tanya in Season 2 to inherit her cash, he clearly hasn’t confronted any penalties for conspiracy to homicide. So what precisely can we glean about what’s occurred to him from this primary interplay?

Properly, the implication appears to be that Greg’s plan labored, although not in the way in which he supposed. Though Tanya uncovered the plot and ended up taking nearly everybody on that boat down along with her within the Season 2 finale, she did certainly find yourself useless. Nevertheless, as her demise would have in all probability been dominated unintended beneath the circumstances, we are able to safely assume Greg inherited her cash in spite of everything. That is made fairly clear by what his girlfriend tells Chelsea: 1) They’ve a “house at the top of the hill” in the identical a part of Thailand as a luxurious lodge resort, and a couple of) They eat commonly at that very same luxurious resort. Greg clearly has cash to burn.

The massive query, as Season 3 unfolds, is whether or not or not his previous will meet up with him. Perhaps Belinda — who knew Tanya on the time when she first met Greg — will someway make the connection between them? We’ll have to attend and see.
