The Redditor noted: "When the Girls' Trip crew is at dinner watching the Khon performance, Kate and Laurie have to remind Jaclyn about a dance they did in college where they were each subordinate in some way to Jaclyn, who was the face and body of the shared character.
When the inevitable blow-up between these three occurs, I think it's going to be an issue of Kate and Laurie fighting for Jaclyn's approval or attention, rather than one of them having an issue with Jaclyn.".
In the opening episode, which premiered on Sunday, February 16, audiences met three long-time friends on a swanky getaway: Kate (played by Leslie Bibb), Laurie (Carrie Coon), and Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan).
Laurie, a single mum, seems to struggle with controlling her alcohol consumption and might be concealing something heartbreaking, as the episode ends with her returning to her room to weep uncontrollably while Jaclyn and Kate stay up gossiping.
"White Lotus enjoys keeping outlier characters like Quinn (Fred Hechinger) and Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) safe, and Laurie seems to fit into this category as well.
