She saw Olivia’s parents get off the boat. Why didn’t she text Kai to abort the robbery? She went on that boat ride and it didn’t occur to her once that the parents may have gone straight back to the room and run into Kai?
Why did Olivia think Paula’s locket was stolen? Kai only took a bracelet.
Great question WHO!!! I was also thinking the same thing, that there was NO REASON why she needed to remain on the boat once MARK and his wife got off of it, because she could also say she'd also changed her mind or wasn't feeling well or whatever she had to say as a way to try to warn him or even beat them back to the room to warn KAI (if he doesn't happen to own a phone or isn't allowed to use it while he's working on the job or something).
That's also another WONDERUL OBSERVATION regarding how KAI didn't take the LOCKET.
Apparently OLIVIA took it and has plans to use it in some way against PAULA???
My guess is she'll RAT her OUT to the COPS or to her parents due to the way she also wants what PAULA has and now she can't FLIRT with KAI anymore if he never comes back to work again.
In other words, OLIVIA is probably also going to MILK the situation where she suspects PAULA's behind the ROBBERY the same way as SHANE is doing with ARMOND.
NOTE the way MARK and his wife also ORDERED ARMOND around when they tell him to get them the DRINKS that they wanted (after he also told them the HOTEL doesn't cover the LOSS of VALUABLES). So they were also behaving very much like SHANE as well in that scene.
It's definitely going to be interesting to see how this story finally WRAPS UP next week in the SERIES FINALE.
she panicked and froze. Not sure what lying abut the necklace does. perhaps she just wanted to see Paula's reaction.
shareThe way OLIVIA was talking to PAULA as she PRETENDS to be SLEEPING has me CONVINCED that OLIVIA is going to TORMENT her (the same way as we've seen SHANE doing ARMOND).
Don't forget about how the show begins with both OLIVIA and PAULA making fun of the other GUESTS as they arrive on the BOAT. Then they proceed to MISTREAT RACHEL (suggesting she's a TROPHEY wife), and they torment QUINN (who they refuse to let sleep in the same room with them). So how surprised should we be to see OLIVIA do the same thing to PAULA (who she's also already MISTREATED before when she seduced some other guy that Paula was seeing).
And Olivia also LIED to PAULA when she told her that she didn't have to worry about her going after another guy that she's seeing again. Because then we also saw her FLIRTING with KAI.
Therefore we also know OLIVIA isn't someone who can be TRUSTED.
yeah that's a bit weird , Paula could have gotten off the boat and hug Nicole and say she is wrong that everybody love her , the dad and son would have followed to comfort her and for sure she would have gone back to the boat , she just wanted a little bit of attention and kindness from her family , nothing more.
Even if doing so is totally against Paula's personality and behavior until now the consequences of her not doing it (Kai getting caught) obviously outweigh the little embarrassment of doing it.
Here's part of an interesting article about PAULA:
‘The White Lotus’ Episode 5: Is Paula Worse Than Olivia?
https://decider.com/2021/08/09/the-white-lotus-episode-5-paula-kai/
>>The White Lotus is a scalding social satire from the mind of writer/director Mike White. The series follows a group of VIP guests emotionally terrorizing the staff (and each other) at an exclusive island resort for a week. Two of the most terrifying guests from the jump are wealthy teen Olivia (Sydney Sweeney) and her BFF/partner-in-crime Paula. The two take turns mocking the other guests by making up cruel backstories and systematically stripping their confidence down in casual conversation. However, as the week goes on, it seems that Paula might not be as enamored of Olivia as we initially thought.
>>I am so mad at Brittany O’Grady’s Paula for inadvertently setting Kai up. Not because what she did was nefariously bad — which it kind of was — but because she was so privileged that she didn’t realize what an absolute trap she was setting up for her lower class boy toy.
>>even if Kai did get away with the crime, trying to move those expensive bracelets would be difficult for an otherwise upstanding young man. The theft itself is a trap that can only end poorly for Kai and fine for the Mossbachers who have the means to rebound and seek retribution.
What would also be NICE to see is QUINN stepping in to claim that he's the one who STOLE the JEWELRY (due to the way that he had no CELL PHONE and the others refused to lend him their phones).
And even though he was also sitting ON the BOAT at the time of the ROBBERY, maybe he could also say that he'd asked one of the STAFF to go get it for him, so that he could use it as a way to BRIBE someone else into letting him use their phone??? Or perhaps he could also say that he planned to try to sell it so that he could RENT a ROOM and he wouldn't need to keep sleeping on the BEACH each night???
If he'd be willing to do that, then that might also put a STOP to KAI ending up in JAIL???
GO QUINN !!!
😃
That seems way too optimistic for this series.
shareYes, maybe so, but think about how MARK and NICOLE have also made LOVE for the FIRST TIME now that she sees him as being a HERO for the way he tried to PROTECT her during the ROBBERY. In other words, they should also be GRATEFUL to KAI for the way he's HEALED the problem they were having between the 2 of them.
And we also have Tanya who's also had a BREAKTHROUGH due to the way that other man still wanted to have SEX with her after she PEELS back all the layers of her ONION (as she puts it).
So we've also already had HINTS that the show may end on an OPTIMISTIC NOTE.
Still another possibility is QUINN may also give up his DESIRE to STAY there in HAWAII and go back to school again in exchange for his PARENTS agreement NOT to PRESS any CHARGES against KAI???
🧐
I hope Quinn’s story ends well. We know at least one storyline does not end optimistically ⚰️
shareI'm also thinking since that BLM guy went swimming, he might be the one who has his REMAINS end up inside of that COFFIN BOX.
That would also leave TANYA free to go to TAHITTI with the other BOX of ASHES where she can REPEAT the same thing all over again.
And after Rachel leaves him then SHANE would probably also show up there and then find TANYA there.
I'm also thinking QUINN ends up being the HERO of his family (even though his mother thinks his father fits that ROLE).
Because he's also the only one of them that seems to have LEARNED anything during their visit there.
Rachel's also learned something as well, but she's also not a member of QUINN's family.
