Guest Paula (Brittany O'Grady) and hotel staff member Kai (Kekoa Kekumano) bond over their disdain for the wealthy white tourists vacationing at the resort, leading to their brief fling. Guest Nicole (Connie Britton) and her husband Mark's (Steve Zahn) sex life is nonexistent when they arrive at the resort; however, after Mark rushes to his wife's aid while their hotel room is being burglarized, the couple end up reconnecting emotionally, leading to their physical connection being reignited. During the couple's one and only sex scene in Season 2, Tanya dissociates while staring at a sculpture in the room before rocking herself out of the trance-like state while Greg is on top of her. "I was seeing all of these faces of men with these very effeminate hairstyles, and then I saw you, and your eyes were like shark eyes!" she told Greg. After arriving at the Italian resort, Hollywood director Dominic (Michael Imperioli) begins seeing Sicilian sex worker Lucia (Simona Tabasco) nightly, and eventually he has a threesome with her and her best friend Mia (Beatrice Grannò). After meeting Jack (Leo Woodall), Tanya's assistant Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) is whisked away from the hotel for extended dates and day trips. Portia eventually ends up in bed with Jack, whose tight tush is on full display when they wake up together the morning after. In one of the most memorable sex scenes from not only Season 2 but the series as a whole, Mia and hotel piano player Giuseppe (Federico Scribani) do the deed after Mia offers Giuseppe sex in exchange for music industry contacts. The pair settle on a chapel as the location of their tryst, but after Giuseppe can't perform, she gives him what she thinks is Viagra that ends up being molly, and hilarity ensues. After Portia ditches Albie (Adam DiMarco) for Jack, Albie hits it off with Lucia, who slept with his dad Dominic in the first two episodes. Despite Lucia being a sex worker, the pair's connection and friendship with one another seems genuine, and Lucia appears to care for him in some way. Tanya is shocked after she catches a glimpse of Jack and his supposed "uncle" Quentin (Tom Hollander) having sex at the end of episode 5. Viewers later learn that the act may have been one that is transactional after Jack confides in Portia and tells her he feels indebted to Quentin after he helped him out of a "deep hole." The hole in question is never revealed, however.

Mia and front desk manager Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore) share a sweet moment of intimacy after Valentina learns that her crush, Isabella (Eleonora Romandini), is engaged to fellow hotel staff member Rocco (Federico Ferrante). Mia offers Valentina the companionship she yearns for in exchange for a piano playing gig at the hotel bar. After Quentin takes Tanya to his villa for a few days, he throws a party in her honor and introduces her to Niccoló (Stefano Gianino), who has rumored connections to a crime family. After a night of doing drugs, kissing and dancing, the pair sneak off to do the deed, even though Tanya is still married to Greg. Harper and Ethan finally get it on in the season finale after Ethan asks his wife if she cheated on him with Cameron. While she admits that they kissed and it didn't go farther than that, Ethan storms off to the beach, where he runs into Daphne (Meghann Fahy), Cameron's wife. Though it is not shown, it is implied that the pair hook up, and when Ethan later returns to Harper, they have passionate sex for the first time in ages. After Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) "almost died" in a robbery, she and Rick (WaltonGoggins) share a sweet night of gentle love making together. Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan),who is on vacation with her longtime best friends Laurie (Carrie Coon) and Kate (Leslie Bibb), climbs into bed with resort health mentor Valentin (Arnas Fedaravičius) after a night of partying with her friends and his. Undoubtedly the most talked-about sex scene of the series, the incestuous act between brothers Lochlan (Sam Nivola) and Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) while Lochlan is having sex with Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) is something viewers will never forget. Though Laurie and Valentin had been flirtatious from the beginning, the latter ended up sleeping with her best friend Jaclyn. After Laurie ditches her friends to meet up with Valentin and his Russian friends, Laurie and Aleksei (Julian Kostov) get hot and heavy at his house. Her post-coital bliss is interrupted, however, after Aleksei asks her for $10,000, but thankfully Aleksei's girlfriend comes home before she can answer him, and she escapes out of the window.
