But her character’s scenes were paper-thin compared to this season’s other, meatier arcs.
Most memorable moment:Herdance routine in episode 5is stunning.
The way he prays for his mother is harrowing.

Most memorable moment:“The food.
I mean, it was vegetarian, but you could tell it wasn’t organic.
I know I am.”
Nicholas Duvernay as Zion on ‘The White Lotus’.Fabio Lovino/HBO
He ends as a hero (?)
who finds success (and romance) after overcoming his insecurities and shooting an unarmed man in the back.
We’re not sure, though it does leave us a bit ambivalent.

Michelle Monaghan, too, inhabits the role with charm and ease.

It’s a veryWhite Lotustwist.
Leslie Bibb is fantastic, responding to the most loaded questions with subtle gestures and inflections that speak volumes.
Most memorable moment:Her facewhen Laurie and Jaclyn ask if she voted for Trump.
Sam Nivola as Lochlan on ‘The White Lotus’.Stefano Delia/HBO
Truly one of the best acting moments of the season.

But Frank’s journey, abbreviated as it is, speaks to the redemptive soul ofThe White Lotus.
Single mother Laurie, whose journey was the most satisfying of the trio, punctuated this revelation.

Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger)
We love an arc, don’t we, folks?
(Who masturbates with their brother in the room?)
Wisely, White and Schwarzenegger didn’t give Saxon a full face turn.
It’s the image I’ve seenregurgitated the most on social mediaover the past 36 hours.
(Honorable mention for every moment she managed to twirl Saxon around her finger.)
There wasn’t a single scene that her presence didn’t make better.
Most memorable moment:Victoria’s blank eyes and dismissive one-word replies whenKate approaches her at breakfastis a masterclass.
