We also get two hotel employees, Mook and Guy Talk, which I didn't know until about 30 seconds ago.
This is Lisa from Blackpink. I had no idea.
It's funny. It's like it's different from the idol where Jenny was playing like still an idol, you know. But here she, Lisa, is playing this health mentor because this hotel has this like extreme sort of wellness meditation focus. Guy Tuck is a security guard. He's like very clearly in love with her who wouldn't be. She seems to be keeping him a little bit more at the distance.
We can't really tell whether she's just being demure or if she's like, no, no, no, you're my friend. Please leave me alone.
I honestly, I love their vibe. There's that one scene where later in the episode where they're flirting and she is talking to the bodyguards of the hotel's owner. And he's sort of being protective. And I found them to have really wonderful, very sincere chemistry. Do you know what I mean?
And I kind of feel like maybe they will. I don't know. And then we have our recurring character.
Okay, then there's the Ratliffs, the family of five, an upper-class family from North Carolina, clearly extremely invested in tradition. What did you think about the accent work here?
I grew up in Texas. I went to school at the University of Virginia. This exact kind of family is as familiar to me as the back of my hand. I was legitimately, you know, this is as the kids say, but I was literally screaming.
So Jason Isaacs and Parker Posey play Timothy and Victoria Ratliff. Victoria, the mom, just seems to really be on a steady drip of lorazepam. But that part at dinner where she's like, scratch my arm.
Their three impeccably named adult children are Saxon, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger, Piper, played by Sarah Catherine Hook. Piper, incredible name today. She would be Hadley, but this girl this age is Piper. and Lachlan, played by Sam Nivola. They normally vacation in the Caribbean. They are in Thailand because Piper is a senior at Chapel Hill.
She's writing a thesis on Buddhism, and Parker Posey's character also went to Chapel Hill. Lachlan is deciding whether to go to Duke or Chapel Hill. The oldest son went to Duke, as did the dad. This is a classic sort of house divided. Victoria assures the sort of Very funny staff member named Pam who's assigned to them.
There's a part where she's like, how good for you, how good for you, or whatever.
But she like assures them they're a totally normal family, which, yeah, you know, why not?
Yeah, yeah. Well, like, yeah, they – like not only normal but also kind of the best, clearly. They're invested in that idea. They're all – the men are upset about there not being sort of Wi-Fi privileges in the villa. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. We don't actually have Wi-Fi in the villas.
I think it's a great idea.
Okay. But... It probably would have been better for the father if he had just locked up that phone because at some point of the episode, he gets like the nightmare call from a journalist being like, hi, we're trying to close this story in two days and we need to know. Can you give me a call back as soon as possible?
Nightmare call that it sounds like he deserves it every way.
I'm actually astonished he called that guy back.
Like he wouldn't have called, like in real life.
