The White Lotus‘s Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) confirmed her true colors in the sequence’s fifth episode — large spoilers forward — when she betrayed her buddy and cheated on her husband. And although we noticed it coming, it did not make it any much less troublesome or disappointing to observe.

All season lengthy, The White Lotus‘s Jaclyn has been urging her buddy, Laurie, a divorced mum and lawyer from New York, to hook up with Valentin, their enticing, youthful non-public butler at The White Lotus Resort & Spa. As the one single one within the group, Jaclyn needed Laurie — who’s been portrayed as the marginally extra frazzled, much less ‘good’ one when it comes to not having completely sculpted abs and excessive cheekbones — to let free and get some motion.
Laurie was shy (or embarrassed) at first, however progressively began to heat as much as the concept that what occurs in Thailand stays in Thailand, and that perhaps she deserves some enjoyable simply as a lot as the following individual.

Do they recognise her because the well-known actress she is? Do they know she’s newly married to a person 10 years her junior? Or is she simply getting off on making them jealous? Regardless of the case, Jaclyn does not care.
