With only one episode left in The White Lotus season 2, audiences are racking their brains trying to figure out who exactly will die in this explosive sophomore season.

Theorizing who will live and who will die is especially difficult considering most of these problematic yet beloved characters could be in danger, as they are all wrapped up in situations where someone is embittered by their actions. But of course, there are a few characters who are closer to death’s doors than others.

Here’s who we think will die in the second installment of The White Lotus.

Who will die in The White Lotus season 2 finale?

To begin with, we’re going to rule out that Daphne Sullivan (Meghann Fahy) was amongst the dead bodies found on The White Lotus’ beach because the first episode of season 2 showed us that this character is alive and well. We’re also going to rule out Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore) for the same reason.

Aside from Daphne and Valentina, many characters could lose their lives in the season 2 finale. However, we believe that the three who are most likely to die are Portia (Haley Lu Richardson), Lucia (Simona Tabasco), and — you guessed it — Cameron Sullivan (Theo James).

In Portia’s case, this young girl, unfortunately, made a string of poor decisions that caused her to be alone with Jack, a man who is as mysterious as they come, Jack (Leo Woodall).

For some reason, Jack refuses to let Portia return to Taormina, or anywhere, for that matter. We want to assume that the lad is protecting her from his “uncle” Quentin (Tom Hollander), especially since she and Jack share a somewhat strong bond. But with Jack’s message about how no one is perfect and how some have to do what they don’t want to do, our suspicions lead us to believe he may wind up taking Portia’s life for some larger scheme that will soon be revealed.

From the very moment we met Lucia, she had death written all over her. Not only was she a woman tied up in the affairs of the hotel’s guests, but it was later revealed that she was being relentlessly stalked and harassed by her controlling boss, Alessio.

Lucia seems to owe Alessio a percentage of her escort earnings. Except she doesn’t have the money since Cameron Sullivan has yet to pay his dues. We don’t yet know if Lucia has explained the situation to Alessio. But we know that he is a man who may do dangerous things to assert his dominance over Lucia. What’s more, Albie (Adam DiMarco) has shown us he doesn’t have what it takes to protect these “broken birds” he claims he attracts, meaning Lucia may not have anyone in her corner to fend off Alessio if and when things hit the fan.

If Lucia reeks of death, Cameron is practically drenched in it.

Cameron is everyone’s worst nightmare. He’s selfish, arrogant, rude, and downright entitled. His wife, Daphne, may have found her way to cope with such a problematic individual, but his college friend, Ethan (Will Sharpe), is completely fed up with the nonsense. Cameron’s incessant goading and insults are all things Ethan dealt with for the sake of peace. However, Cameron flirting his Ethan’s wife, Harper (Aubrey Plaza), is where he draws the line.

Though Cameron denies it, Ethan is privy to the subtle ways his frenemy is coming on to Harper. So much so that he is no longer using words to help Cameron understand why he should back off.

See Ethan and Cameron exchange blows in the official teaser of The White Lotus season 2 finale below.

Perhaps Ethan will get too carried away and wind up killing Cameron in a fit of rage. Maybe Daphne will reach her limit and finally remove her cheating husband out of her life. Or maybe some other person wants his head on a stick. As we said before, Cameron is everyone’s worst nightmare, so there may see to this man taking his last breath.

We would be overjoyed if our theories check out. However, there’s only one way to find out who will live and who will die in the season finale of The White Lotus season 2!

Stream the final episode on Sunday, Dec. 11, at 9:00 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.
