Tanya is the only main character from Season 1 to return for Season 2 of "The White Lotus." This time, she's joining her new husband, Greg, in Sicily at another White Lotus hotel. She brings along her assistant Portia, much to Greg's dismay as he has an elaborate plot to have Tanya killed so he can inherit her money. Having Portia there was not part of his master plan, as he doesn't want any witnesses or loose ends to figure out his scheme.
As such, Greg demands that Tanya send Portia home. However, Tanya doesn't want Portia to leave, so she tells her to stay hidden in her room, which Portia is understandably not a fan of. Once Greg leaves Italy for a couple of days to "get back to work," Portia is free to hang out with Tanya in the open. Tanya suspects that something nefarious is going on with Greg, so she decides to get a tarot card reading to gain insight into her relationship with him.
Unfortunately, the reader is a little too honest with Tanya, revealing some dark truths about Greg. Tanya calls her negative and runs the woman out of her room, leaving her and Portia alone. Tanya decides that she needs to lie down after this experience, so Portia tries to leave. However, Tanya demands that she stay, as she doesn't want to be left alone. However, to soften the blow of Portia having to sit there while Tanya sleeps, she tells Portia that she has the new Vanity Fair magazine, suggesting that Portia can read it while she sleeps. What a lucky girl.
