At the end of season 1, some viewers found it implausible that Shane would be allowed to leave so soon after the stabbing (pointing out that under normal legal circumstances he would at least be booked and have to make a court appearance, even if the determination was that the death was accidental or self-defense). In a New York Times interview with Jennifer Vineyard, Jake Lacy (Shane) addresses this seeming inconsistency and explains that this is actually one of the points of the show. Vineyard says to Lacy, "Shane appears to escape all accountability and just walk away from the death he caused. On the other hand, Kai (Kekoa Kekumano) will likely be severely punished for stealing the Mossbachers' jewelry." And Lacy's reply is, "I think that's intentional. In this 'White Lotus'-reality, here's how one class of person is treated by the criminal justice system and here's how someone with access, money and privilege is treated. Yes, you would normally be told, 'Don't leave the island,' or 'Don't leave the state.' But Shane's dad probably called in a favor-a senator? a judge? That's how at times a certain level of this world operates. Kai will be a felon, but Shane will not have to serve any time-and Shane will still paint himself as a victim, because he might become a social pariah. He might not be invited to summer parties in the Hamptons because of this."
