‘The White Lotus’ Gone Wild! Carrie Coon and Michelle Monaghan Dish on Dancing and Jaclyn’s Betrayal: She ‘Hits the F– It Button’


"The White Lotus" stars Carrie Coon and Michelle Monaghan discuss all the moments that were improvised and break down Jaclyn's final decision.

After leaving the resort in Thailand and going out for a night of drinking and dancing at a club with a group of Russian guys — their dedicated wellness instructor, Valentin (Arnas Fedaravičius), and accompanied by his two friends — Laurie unexpectedly finds herself having a blast. “Her marriage is falling apart, she’s struggling with her teenage daughter, she didn’t get a promotion at work, and to admit that to her friends, who are outwardly very successful, would be a huge blow to her ego,” Coon says. This episode is full of memorable moments that were often improvised over the course of the two-night shoot, including the dancing scenes, and when the men argue with women at the club whom they obviously know well, who yell at them in Russian.
