'The White Lotus' Season 2 finale was a gift to the internet
The White Lotus Season 2 wrapped up on Sunday (Dec. 11) with a stunning finale. If you haven't watched the episode yet, then what the hell are you doing here? Please don't read about memes and theories before watching because, yes, obviously, there are spoilers ahead.
OK, glad that warning is out of the way.
One more line break just to be sure.

One of the best parts of The White Lotus is the online community, where folks churn out compelling theories, shareable memes, and timely jokes. Some of the theories even proved to be right, considering show creator Mike White does his best to layer in metaphor, foreshadowing, and symbolism throughout the entirety of the series.
The minute the finale ended, people were already turning the episode's best moments into online fodder. There were jokes about Albie and Portia, who escaped Italy with their lives but not much dignity.
