That's Amore (The White Lotus)

"That's Amore" is the fifth episode of the second season of the American black comedy drama anthology television series The White Lotus.

In the episode, Quentin takes Tanya and Portia to accompany him to Palermo, while Harper discovers what happened on Ethan's and Cameron's night.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.641 million household viewers and gained a 0.11 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.

Harper (Aubrey Plaza) leaves the condom wrapper by the bathroom sink for Ethan (Will Sharpe) to find when he wakes.

While Portia and Jack (Leo Woodall) leave to explore the town, Quentin takes Tanya to see a performance of Madama Butterfly at the Teatro Massimo.

And if the impact of that final scene gets to be blunted by the way we get to refer to it as 'this season's rimming reveal,' there's no denying writer-director Mike White made sure to make it as operatic (and eye-searing) as he could be.

Almost as if he'd heard complaints about the way that season one Armond moment was a tad too demure for the sex position it was depicting.

"[5] Tom Smyth of Vulture gave the episode a perfect 5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "We've reached that point in a White Lotus season where shit is hitting the fan, and it's fair to assume that most of our guests have probably perused Expedia once or twice already for early flights home.

"[7] Henry Wong of Esquire wrote, "Was anyone expecting the second season of The White Lotus to play out, so often, like a romantic comedy?

There are so many couples to root for, each charming and messed-up in their own ways: Albie and Lucia, Ethan and Harper, Jack and Portia.

In this episode alone, there were tearful goodbyes in hotel corridors, swimming pool kisses, jaunty string music.

"[8] Shawn Laib of Den of Geek gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "The cliffhanger entering next week is one of the oddest things I've ever seen on TV, a peak into what appears to be a sex scene between Jack and Quentin that Tanya becomes privy to.
