The White Lotus Season 3 is barely two episodes in, and the record of underlying tensions is already rising properly.
The newest, and maybe most intriguing, so as to add to the combo? The unusual interplay between Victoria (Parker Posey) and Kate (Leslie Bibb) at breakfast.
So what precisely occurs, and what may it imply? Let’s recap.
What occurs between Victoria and Kate in Season 3, episode 2?
Throughout breakfast, Kate breaks away from her pals Laurie and Jaclyn (Carrie Coon and Michelle Monaghan) to strategy the Ratliff household and deal with Victoria. They’ve the next alternate, which rapidly goes from awkward to much more awkward:
Kate: “Do you know Claire Popovich?”
Victoria: “Yes, I do.”
Okay: “You and I were at a baby shower in Austin together! Kate Bohr. Claire is one of my great friends in Austin and yeah, we spent a weekend together! Hi!”
V: “Yes.”
Okay: “But, do you remember meeting me?”
When Kate will get again to her desk, Jaclyn says, “I don’t think she remembers you.” Kate’s response? “We spent a whole weekend together. I mean, a whole weekend. Am I not memorable?”

Why does not Victoria like Kate?
If there’s one factor we find out about The White Lotus, it is that conversations like this aren’t throwaways. Victoria’s response to Kate is probably going going to be important to the plot ultimately. So the large query is, why is she so impolite and dismissive?
Realistically, there are solely three potentialities: 1) Victoria is embarrassed about one thing Kate could find out about her, probably by their mutual good friend; 2) Victoria has been given some details about Kate from their mutual good friend that has led to her not desirous to affiliate with Kate; or 3) Victoria has fallen out with their mutual good friend, and does not need a reminder.
At this stage, any of these issues appears doable. We simply do not have sufficient data to make a extra particular guess about what’s gone on. However that is undoubtedly a type of interactions that’ll be value submitting away for later. Perhaps the title Claire Popovich will grow to be important additional down the road.
