Paula’s relationship with Kai, the hotel employee, moves from flirtation to conspiracy. In this episode, she encourages him to steal from her own family. On the surface, this appears to be an act of rebellion against her parents' wealth. However, the paper argues that this is the ultimate manifestation of white privilege. Paula uses Kai’s financial desperation to act out her own anti-capitalist fantasy, risking his freedom while she remains safe in her bubble of wealth. She treats the indigenous employee not as a person, but as a prop for her political performance.
