Agree with pretty much all the theories, but I’m not that worried about Portia. Sure, she’s absolutely in hot waters now, but I can’t see Jack going as far as killing her to stop her from warning Tanya. But maybe that’s just because I would hate that sort of plot development. I think it would have a whiff of…

I’m rooting for Albie now, because he gave up on Portia quickly enough after all, and handled it way more gracefully than I expected. But yeah, there are still many ways in which his broken-bird-fantasy could set him up for a bad end. 

I’m placing my bets on Chekov’s pills/drugs. Mia’s piano player won’t be the only one who ends up with the wrong sort, and next time, the results might be less survivable.

Good catch, I think there’s some heavy forshadowing about something going wrong with pills - Mia’s adventure with the piano player for instance. And I could well imagine it not being an innocent accident, but a cold-blooded murder, supposed to look like an accident - accidentially hitting an unplanned target (also…

They had a convo about the hookers. Ethan already told her than Cam was the only one who requested full services. Harper may or may not believe him, but talking about them even more probably won’t affect that. 

She’s starting to feel conflicted about sex work, so she’s trying to pull off one last con that would leave her with enough start capital for a new life. It makes her a bit of a bad girl, sure, but not necessarily one-dimensional. I mean, you heard Bert about the unemployment rate in Sicily. She’s got dreams and not…

I started to like her (and Albie) a bit more, when they both managed to acknowledge the failure of their flirtation, sheepishly, but still gracefully. They were hard to watch together, but you can sort of see how it would make sense on paper, so you can’t really fault them for trying to make fetch happen, for a bit.…

everyone is manipulating everyone around them in this show. cam and daphne are clearly trying to scam ethan and harper, ethan probably knows it, but still agreed to this trip so that he could finally win that dick-measuring contest by rejecting cam, harper is now toying with ethan by implying a flirtation with cam to…

I think right now, Harper herself is interested in pushing boundaries. She wants to get a reaction from Ethan and Cameron proves to be the most powerful tool in that regard. Ethan so far has been very hard to read, he usually keeps his cards close to the vest. But he sure does seem to have some feelings about Cameron.…

Sure, people have ambivalent feelings about others all the time, loathing can be certainly sometimes mixed with desire. I’m not necessarily seeing it here - to me Harper seems more like the kid at the playground psyching herself up to eat that worm, to make a point. All that downright desperate drinking suggests to me…

Sure, the pimp/jealous actual boyfriend could be involved. I wouldn’t count out Cameron though - of course he’s not going to murder someone in cold blood about settling an invoice, but who’s to say he’ll be in full possession of his better judgment when the situation escalates? Not all lethal violence is premediated…

Maybe, maybe not. For now it seems more likely to me that it’s really mostly just about dominance games. Cameron is using sexual aggression to push boundaries, but the sexual aspect is just a means to an end. I think he accomplishes his aim if the other person is unsettled, and will mostly stop short of actually going…

On principle, I think, it’s perfectly fine to keep doing a job you hate for the money while all the time complaining. You don’t have to love it or leave it. I think that Portia problably could quit, if she wanted to, because I don’t think she’s particularly poor - her parents would probably have her back. But I also…

I think the “pimp” is just an acquaintance she roped into her act to increase the sense of urgency for Albie. But I could see this ending very badly for either her or Albie - someone else mentionned that Albie might get into an altercation with Cameron, trying to get him to pay Lucia her money.

Yeah, I totally meant Quentin. 

for what it’s worth I don’t think Portia owes all that much emotional honesty to Tanya, but she certainly tried to string along Albie for a while. I think there is indeed a similarity to Ethan’s dilemma, where she thought Albie’s the type of guy she’s supposed to want, and made herself go along with it for a while,…

The baby-daddy is totally the trainer. The opening sequence has a woman riding on a donkey, accompanied by a man, which is clearly an allusion to Mary and Josef, which is clearly an allusion to intransparent paternity.

Really, at no point did I get the sense Harper was attracted to Cameron - she’s clearly doing this purely to punish Ethan and also, maybe mostly, herself. It’s full on drunken self-loathing trashing about self-destruction.

Of course there relationship was severly broken before the trip. The real problem is that Ethan…

The Puccini opera does tie in very nicely with the local legend of the moor’s head - the stranger who seduced a local girl with promises of marriage, who already had a wife at home, and was killed for that. It’s about empty promises, crushed hope, seduction by false pretense. With the moor, it ends in murder, with…

Oh, I could see Dominic killing himself! He seems like he’s protesting a bit too much with all that talk about not getting love affairs. To me, that story about the cowboy mostly just suggests that he has a bad habit of falling for straight guys. I think it’s more likely to allude to the naughty nephew rather than…
