WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for The White Lotus season 2, episode 6, "Abductions."The White Lotus season 2, episode 6 confirms a worrying theory about Greg’s connection to Tanya’s new friends in Italy, which places Jennifer Coolidge’s character in imminent danger. Much like the first season, The White Lotus season 2’s opening scene confirms that the Italian vacation will end with the deaths of several guests, leaving viewers to piece together which wealthy travelers won’t be going home alive. While The White Lotus’ returning character Greg was a likely victim due to his terminal illness, his rich wife Tanya is now in an even more vulnerable position after the manipulations of Quentin and his “nephew” Jack, two locals who appear to con women for their money.

After much speculation, The White Lotus season 2 has revealed that Greg is the heterosexual cowboy who Quentin fell in love with many years back. Tanya finds a picture of the pair together at Quentin’s villa, which calls back to how Quentin said he would do anything for this man, perhaps even kill or scam his wife. Greg was adamant that he and Tanya stay in Sicily before he suddenly left for business, which not coincidentally led to Tanya meeting Quentin and being invited back to his villa. Now that The White Lotus has confirmed Greg is Quentin’s cowboy, it’s likely that they conspired to throw the party, drug Tanya, and seduce her as a ploy to steal her money.

What Does Quentin Really Want From Tanya In The White Lotus Season 2?

The White Lotus 2 Tanya Greg Quentin

The White Lotus season 2's Tanya storyline had already been implying that despite having a chic villa, Quentin had no money, with episode 6 confirming this as a fact. Not only does Quentin require new money in order to keep his manor and lavish lifestyle, but Greg also seemingly wants to end his marriage with Tanya and make some money in the divorce. However, Tanya made Greg sign a prenup, meaning he won’t be able to take her money unless she breaks certain clauses. In order for Greg and Quentin to steal Tanya's money, they'll need to blackmail her or ensure there's a penalty for breaking a prenup clause.

Quentin clearly set up Tanya to sleep with Niccoló, who may be a drug dealer or sex worker connected to the con artist. Tanya was compelled to snort several lines of cocaine before having a sexual encounter with Niccoló, which White Lotus fans have speculated was being recorded. If the prenup of The White Lotus season 2's returning characters had an infidelity clause, then he may be able to take a healthy portion of her money in the divorce. On the other hand, Greg and Quentin could use a recording of her affair to blackmail her into giving them part of her fortune before her Sicilian vacation concludes.

Was Greg Scamming Tanya For Her Money Since The White Lotus Season 1?

Considering Greg was the one who came onto Tanya at the Hawaiian resort in The White Lotus season 1, it stands to reason that taking her money has been part of his plan all along. However, he did genuinely seem to like Tanya in The White Lotus season 1's ending, so scamming her likely wasn’t his intention – although her money may have influenced his decision to marry her so quickly. Greg reveals that he has already been married four times, so it’s likely that he loses interest in his wives after only a short amount of time. Tanya is different, however, because his previous wives likely weren’t heiresses, so he’s not going to get divorced without trying to scheme his way into millions.
