Shocking sex

In a report in Page Six, the show’s creator, Mike White revealed that Piper Ratliff (Hook) and Zion Lindsey (Duvernary) were supposed to hook up in Thailand’s resort and go on to have sex. He said, “The part that was cut, which is very disappointing, is that she decides to lose her virginity in the script in the last episode, and she actually has sex with Zion, which is Belinda’s son.”
