Speaking to a member of hotel staff, Tanya said: ‘Every time I stay at a White Lotus I always have a memorable time, always.
Viewers are then introduced to some of the new faces staying at the resort, including the Di Grasso family of Bert (F. Murray Anderson), his son Dominic (Michael Imperioli), and Dominic’s son Albie (Adam Di Marco).
Tension is already simmering within the group as it becomes clear that many of their family members have not joined them over the holidays.
A waitress says to them, “Are you here to learn your Sicilian roots? It looks like a fun boys trip.

Bet replies, “It wasn’t supposed to be a boys’ trip.”
Albie says, “We’re on a family vacation right now and there’s only three of us because all the women in our family hate you.”
Elsewhere, married couple Harper (Aubrey Plaza) and Ethan Spiller are vacationing with friends Cameron (Theo James) and Daphne Babcock (Meghann Fahy).
But it’s clear that all is not well with the group, as Cameron tells his wife of Ethan and Harper: “Now that he’s loaded, I think he regrets marrying such a failure. .”
Ethan is then seen asking his wife, “What’s going on with you?”

Expressing her suspicions about their friends, she says, “There’s a reason they invited us here. It’s like you sold your business, you got rich and now he’s your best friend.
The DiGrassos are seen having dinner with Bert stating, “Flirting is one of life’s pleasures.”
Dominic says, “You’re 80,” to which his father replies, “But the women I want are still young. You can understand that.
Bert is then seen inviting two local women to the hotel and informing reception that they will be in and out for the duration of his stay.
Tension rises between Tanya and Greg – who met in the first season – as he is unhappy that she brought her assistant on their trip.
He said to her, “You are taking your assistant on vacation with your husband.
Tanya replies, “It’s not like she’s going to be in our bed.”
She is then seen confiding in Portia that she fears Greg has been unfaithful, saying, “I don’t know what’s going on with Greg, but I think it’s b******t.” Do you think he’s having an affair?
Several shots of couples becoming intimate are intercut with a body bag taken out of the hotel before Daphne is seen in awe of being in Sicily.
She tells other vacationers: “Italy is so romantic. You’re gonna die, they’re gonna have to drag you out of here.
