Pretty much all of the characters introduced in the premiere are filthy rich — which, apparently, you have to be to stay at this resort — which makes Lucia and Mia all the more interesting. Played by Simona Tabasco and Beatrice Grannò, respectively, the two loiter by the dock as the boat arrives filled with guests coming to stay at the White Lotus, checking out the… wares, as it were. Lucia cagily tells Mia that she’s been corresponding with one of the new guests and is set to meet up with him later that night, making it clear that the girls intend to do business at the hotel.

Getting themselves physically into the hotel is their first hurdle, though. The eagle-eyed manager of the resort, Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore) keeps spotting them, and knows exactly what they’re up to, telling them that only guests are allowed on the premises. These girls are smart, though, and end up sneaking in right under Valentina’s nose only to have two incredibly different nights. When the musician buys Mia a drink and asks what the going rate is for an evening, she throws a drink in her face, and we learn who Lucia was set to meet as she heads directly to Dominic’s room.
