The White Lotus Season 2 Continues Teasing An Affair Between Harper & Cameron

The White Lotus Season 2 Couples

In the season 2 premiere, Cameron purposefully undressed until he was fully nude in front of Harper, with Aubrey Plaza’s The White Lotus character staring at him in the mirror. Cameron then proceeded to privately confront Harper in the water about wanting her to like him, with the pair’s antagonism seemingly being based on an unaddressed sexual attraction. The White Lotus season 2, episode 2 also saw Harper understandingly look at Cameron while he was talking about being devastated by his child’s complicated birth.

While Cameron and Daphne have been shown to have a somewhat active sex life, The White Lotus season 2 has made the romantic disconnect between Harper and Ethan quite obvious. Whereas Harper is interested in having romantic moments on their Sicily-set White Lotus vacation, Ethan is exhausted at night and doesn’t tell her when he’s feeling more inclined in the mornings. As such, Harper may find her needs met by Cameron, whose antagonism appears to be his way of hiding his interest and flirting with her. Considering Cameron keeps defending himself to Harper and Harper tries making herself seem more laid-back around Cameron, The White Lotus season 2 is apt to see the two hook up before their Sicilian vacation ends.
