So, did Tom Hollander’s character really just bang his nephew in The White Lotus? (Picture: HBO)

The White Lotus season 2 left viewers screaming after episode 5 ended with Tom Hollander’s character Quentin having sex with his ‘nephew’ Jack, played by Leo Woodall.

And, to make matters even more jarring, the Night Manager actor can’t even remember whether they are actually related or whether their familial tie is all a rouse.

‘Well, there’s a whole load of stuff about what’s real and what isn’t real, by that point in the story,’ Hollander said.

‘And consistent with that I’m not sure I can even remember whether we’re nephew and uncle.’

Desperately trying to get answers out of his co-star Woodall, he asked: ‘Are we actually? We’re not, are we?’

‘I think no,’ Woodall replied. ‘I don’t know. I think you’re supposed to ask yourself all the questions at the end.’

Frustratingly though, it might be that White Lotus viewers will never get closure on whether Quentin and Jack are in fact uncle and nephew.

‘I’m not sure that you ever really get an answer to that,’ Hollander added to Decider, while pointing out that one clue that they might not be is their strikingly different accents.

Quentin and Jack’s graphic sex scene took place seconds before the episode five closing credits and left very little to the imagination.

Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya walks in on the pair at it like rabbits, although she escapes from their room unseen.

Quentin, of course, befriended Tanya and her assistant Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) in episode three after spotting her at dinner.

He later invited her to join him and his fellow European gays at the beach club, where Portia became acquainted with Jack.

Viewers are struggling to get their heads around the possible incest as they grapple with the scenes online.

‘HOLD ON!!!!!! The nephew AND THE UNCLE?????’ screamed one, while another begged the question: ‘That’s not his real uncle then right???? RIGHTTTT?!!?!?’

Others, however, have been busy sharing their theories on what really could be going on.

‘I don’t think that guy is his uncle. I think it’s all part of a ruse to trick Tanya out of her money,’ one shared. ‘While the nephew keeps the assistant busy he can try to work Tanya.’

Will we ever get closure? We’ll have to wait and see…

The White Lotus season 2 airs Mondays on Sky and NOW in the UK.
