Intriguing ‘White Lotus’ Fan Theory Guesses Where Greg Was During The Season 2 Finale

Here’s how you know a show is good: if viewers come up with all sorts of theories about what’s happening off screen. HBO’s hit show The White Lotus falls into that category.

We’ve seen it with shows like Ozark, Squid Game, Breaking Bad, and probably most of all, Stranger Things and Game of Thrones.

One popular fan theory about Harper and Cameron on The White Lotus was already confirmed by Aubrey Plaza herself.

Another, which has yet to be confirmed or denied, recently popped up on Reddit and it centers around the whereabouts of one Greg Hunt.

The post begins by asking the question: “Was Greg on the boat?”

The boat they are referring to, of course, is the one that Tanya and “these gays,” as she puts it, were waiting on the night all hell broke loose ending in the very grisly demise of so many great White Lotus characters including our beloved Tanya McQuoid.

At first watch and without a little help, there really isn’t anything to indicate that Greg is anywhere but off in some distant land while all of this is happening. What better way to have an alibi when the lawyers come calling with the big check he is supposed to get should Tanya die?

Aside… we should have known Greg was a shady character in season one when he meets Tanya while “mistakenly” trying to get into her hotel room. And if he was so sick that, as he said, he could “drop dead” at any time (those coughing fits…), he sure was fit enough to swim all of those laps in the pool.

However, as is always the case with the internet and shows that people fall in love with, sleuths began digging into the show and came up with something 99% of us would never have noticed.

“The closed captioning said Greg yells ‘Tanya!’ while she is locked in the room on the yacht,” the person on Reddit explained.

“Then we heard people running upstairs and a door slamming at one point. Hugo was hiding behind the couch and the other two were shot. The captain was on the top of the boat so he was one of the footsteps. I’m thinking Greg was on the boat waiting for Tanya to be taken back to the hotel so he could stay the night on the boat and celebrate with Quentin while his wife floats away to her demise.

“He would have had enough time to escape to shore before the morning when Tanya’s body was discovered…

“Absolutely furious Greg won in this situation. I’m thinking next season he will be at the next White Lotus looking for his next con but gets caught.”

Whoa. Is this true? Was Greg really heard yelling on the closed captioning? Yes, it turns out, he was! (Adding to the mystery is the fact that not everyone sees Greg’s name in the closed captioning, just some people, including myself.)

The one thing that would be great if Greg were to appear in season 3 of The White Lotus then there would at least be a good reason to bring Jennifer Coolidge back as Tanya, even if it’s just in some flashbacks.

Personally though, I am holding out hope that Tanya has a twin sister (played by Jennifer Coolidge) that we didn’t know about who inherits her millions and, now very wealthy, appears in season three at, where else, a White Lotus resort.

Perhaps she and Greg will run into each other? Think about it, Mike White. That’s TV gold right there.
