I kind of got the impression that the third season may reveal that Portia and Tanya were wrong in their deductions (given none of those they were accusing seemed to know what it was she was talking about before / while being shot), even if only in a short scene showing Greg again, say with Tanya’s ashes.

That something was; yes, and that would be the most obvious thing it could have been. I was just thinking that with how Tanya had misinterpreted people’s intentions in the first series is, and how those she thought were trying to kill her made no open attempts to do so or admitted to doing so while being killed by Tanya, introduced a flicker of doubt there — that it would be fitting with the themes of The White Lotus if we later found out Tanya and Portia were mistaken, that the ‘something’ was something else (say like they too expected to benefit from Mia’s and Alessio’s scam, given that they briefly crossed paths) and that like Armond in the first season, Tanya (and those she killed) died for nothing — that she (like Shane) had made the wrong assumption.

As in if there were not meant to be a flicker of doubt, why not have them admit to it. When Tanya had shot the others and was about to shoot Quentin, she herself a look indicating she may have been wondering the same thing.

It just fits the theme too perfectly to be a misinterpretation. I'd be shocked if Tonya is referenced again.

Oh, I know it fits — it was just that genuine look of uncertainty at the end the actress portrayed which would form the inkling of this interpretation (one which I am not the only person to have had).

To say that Tanya did not know when she died as to whether or not she had been right, that her distraction and aelf-doubt were partially (if not entirely) responsible for her own death.
