**The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 1: What Brings Tanya’s Spouse Greg to the Hotel?**


**Two Recognizable Characters Make Their Return in *The White Lotus* Season 3 Premiere**

*The White Lotus* has a reputation for reintroducing at least one character each season, but the premiere of Season 3 showcases two returning individuals—both connected to Season 1.

The first is Belinda Lindsey (Natasha Rothwell), the spa manager from the Hawaii location who developed a rapport with affluent guest Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge). Currently, Belinda has embarked on a work trip to Thailand to acquire new spa treatments to introduce to her White Lotus establishment.

The second familiar figure, who appears briefly at the episode’s end, is Greg (Jon Gries), Tanya’s spouse. Fans will recall that Greg encountered Tanya at the White Lotus in Hawaii and later conspired to orchestrate her murder in Sicily during Season 2.

But what brings Greg to Thailand, and what does his presence indicate about his outcome after Season 2?

### Greg’s Return in *The White Lotus* Season 3, Episode 1

As she sits by herself at the bar after her boyfriend Rick (Walter Goggins) leaves her at dinner, Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) engages in a conversation with another guest (Charlotte Le Bon), who is also facing relationship dilemmas.

Their dialogue uncovers an intriguing detail:

> **Chelsea:** “My boyfriend’s avoiding me.”
> **Guest:** “No way, that’s just like my boyfriend.”
> **Chelsea:** “Your boyfriend avoids you too?”
> **Guest:** “Yeah. He just tells me to leave him alone because I annoy him. But honestly, he’s so dull I almost don’t even care.”
> **Chelsea:** “How long have you been here?”
> **Guest:** “A year.”
> **Chelsea:** “You’ve been at this hotel for a year?”
> **Guest:** “No, no. We own a house at the top of the hill. We just come down here to eat, but we just had an argument, so I’m letting him cool off.”

The scene then shifts to show Greg sitting alone at a table.

### What Brings Greg to Thailand?

Greg has become the sole character to feature in all three seasons of *The White Lotus*. Despite his involvement in the plot to have Tanya killed in Season 2 to seize her fortune, he appears to have evaded any legal repercussions.

From this brief moment, we can deduce that Greg’s scheme ultimately prevailed—albeit not as he desired. Tanya discovered the murder conspiracy and managed to bring down nearly all involved before meeting her own demise. Considering the situation, her death was probably classified as accidental, enabling Greg to claim her riches.

The remarks from his new girlfriend further reinforce this idea. She indicates that they possess a house in the hills close to the upscale resort and often dine there, implying Greg is now enjoying a luxurious lifestyle.

The pressing question for Season 3 is whether Greg’s history will finally confront him. Could Belinda, who was acquainted with Tanya when she first encountered Greg, recognize him and begin piecing things together?

We’ll have to be patient and see.
