Aubrey Plaza Reveals How Far Harper And Cameron Took Things In ‘The White Lotus’

The White Lotus Season 2 is over, sadly, and we finally know who died, who the killer was and most of the show’s loose ends have been tied up. (My review).

But there are still some mysteries out there, including what happens to Tanya’s husband, Greg, and what happened behind closed doors between Harper (Aubrey Plaza) and Cameron (Theo James).

We also don’t know whether Daphne (Meghann Fahy) slept with Ethan (Will Sharpe) but it seems incredibly likely given the circumstances.

But there’s a wide range of possibilities when it comes to infidelity, and we have to user our imagination with both these adulterous couples. What did they do? How far did they go? We have lots of innuendo and assumption on our side—including Cameron toasting to getting to know Harper “properly” at last—but no hard details.

Fortunately, Plaza has come right out and said what happened between Harper and Cameron when they snuck upstairs for a drunken rendezvous, away from the gloomy visage of Harper’s husband, Ethan.

Plaza was on the December 12th episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers when she spilled the proverbial beans.

Plaza questioned Meyers when he suggested the two only shared a kiss saying, “Just a kiss?”

“I know what happened, okay?” she added. “And what happened is, we did some stuff, and I hated every minute of it. It was disgusting, and there was no penetration.”

Okay, so “some stuff” isn’t exactly a detailed explanation, but more importantly we know that Harper and Cameron didn’t actually do the deed, at least not all the way. I suspect that Daphne and Ethan—doing whatever it takes to not feel like the victim—went further. They also had more time, since a jealous spouse was nowhere near to show up and interrupt the proceedings. And they were sober.

Meyers joked that maybe the two cheaters “grabbed the other one’s butt” and Plaza shot back “I think I grabbed a little more than that!”

And there you have it, folks. Some disgusting heavy-petting but no penetration.

Plaza was a little bummed out that Harper and Ethan seemed to have resolved their differences by the end of the season. “I was really gunning for doing some takes where, like, maybe we weren’t so happy,” she told Meyers. “Maybe they’ll be okay, but I have a kind of fantasy that Harper divorces him and takes all his money.”

I didn’t get the impression that they were all that happy in the end, to be honest. The rekindling of their sexual relationship and Ethan’s desire for Harper felt more situational than long-term. Both of them were turned on by the extramarital stuff, but if that’s the only thing lighting their fires, how long can it really last? How long, in any case, until they need another spark?

Just look at the picture above. Sure, they’re actually engaging in some (extremely tame) PDA, but Ethan is staring gloomily off into the distance and Harper looks lost in thought. Maybe she’s wishing Cameron and her had taken things just a tiny bit further.
