The White Lotus episode 5 synopsis: What is the episode about?

The fifth episode of the satire comedy is titled “The Lotus-Eaters,” and if you watched episode 4, you can get a pretty good idea how this title was inspired.

“The Lotus-Eaters” will see Armond (Murray Bartlett) doing his best at damage control, but we have a feeling Shane (Jake Lacy) is so over it. Meanwhile, Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) is struggling in getting Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) to focus on her business proposal, which, as you may all remember, was Tanya’s idea in the first place.

Rachel (Alexandra Daddario) is beginning to question her marriage as she feels trapped and unable to decide her own future. And, finally, Paula has a change of heart about her friendship with Olivia and her crazy family.

What time does The White Lotus episode 5 come out?

To watch the upcoming episodes, and all episodes before it, you’ll need HBO. The episodes air on HBO Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET, but you can also watch (or stream later) on the HBO app and HBO Max at the same time.

We are more than half way through the series now, how are you enjoying it so far? With it being a 6-episode limited series, are your expectations high for the final two episodes?

The White Lotus episode 5 premieres on HBO at 9 p.m. ET. on Sunday, August 8, 2021.
