As always, a buffet of delicious mysteries awaits us: Whats with theactive shooter?
Does the ultimate girls trip end inmurder?
Why is the vibe between those three siblings soweird?
Why is Walton Goggins sosweaty?
How do I feel the way Parker Posey feelsall the time?
But you know what is much less expected?
Thats when the camera cuts past her shoulder, and we see a familiar face …
… Its Greg!
Good ol Greg, staring off into the abyss.
Whats his deal again?
Wait, is that …?Yep.
Its the BLM guy.
Hes played by Jon Gries, noted character actor and erstwhile runway model.
Thats him in the Technicolor fuzzy sweater and hypebeast pantswalking for Eckhaus Lattain the fall of 2023.
What does BLM stand for again?Not Black Lives Matter, thats for sure.
I personally think its noble work.
Someone has to balance conservation with forestry needs, you know?
I have like 300 rangers across ten states that report to me, he says.
So hes a cop.Natures cop, but yes.
Also, tragic: One big thing we come to learn about him is that hes stricken with illness.
Greg and Tanya leave Hawaii as a couple.
And then they visit the Sicilian White Lotus together.Yup.
However, his brief appearance does establish a few key details.
First, he openly disdains his new wife.
Second, the visit to Italy was his idea.
Third, hes no longer sick.
Fourth, hes constantly on the phone with some unknown caller.
Finally, and most importantly, hes frustrated with their prenup.
Well, cant you just quit the Bureau of Land Management bullshit or whatever it is?
Tanya says to him, upset over his sudden need to depart.
I cant afford to quit.
You made me sign a prenup.
What if we dont work out?
So he tries to kill her.What happens in Sicily is pretty complicated.
At the same time, he facilitates a concerted effort to isolate and place her in a compromising situation.
You say intend.Oh, yes.
You probably remember this, but they werent, uh, successful.
And she still dies?Unfortunately.
Its a fitting end for the incredible character.
Back up for a second.
In the picture, young Greg is wearing a cowboy hat.
So were sure they were collaborating the whole time?You could say its a reasonable conclusion.
Why do you sound like a lawyer?Sorry!
For instance, who was Greg speaking with on the phone?
Was he ever sick?
Moreover, there are hints of malevolence at an even grander scale.
(And the ennui that comes with it, apparently, given the sunken look on his face.)
And presumably to evade the authorities.Dont be so sure about that.
So whatever the exact situation, its safe to say Greg is in ambiguous territory here.
What are the odds hell get some form of comeuppance this season?Pretty decent, Id say.
