Rue: I’m still alive because of what you did
Elliot: anyway here’s wonderwall
i wanted to see more of maddy beating the shit out of cassie, not elliot singing
lexi and fezco saved this episode
very frustrating season. a lot of flashiness for not an ounce of the nuance of the first ones, abandoned plotlines (not even a word about the suitcase business, what?) at the expense of cool cinematography and interesting montages. other than those and zendaya's acting chops, this is a real shallow show compared to what I felt at the end of season 2.
no way this season was written by the same person who wrote season one...
I never thought Euphoria would reach a point where it would make me feel indifference. There's a lot of redeemable moments this season, for sure (and please, give Zendaya all the awards), but to me the show retains only a few glimpses of its original charm and emotional potency. Which is a shame. Euphoria has always been over-the-top, but this season barely feels grounded in reality anymore. It's still undeniably entertaining, but I often struggle to feel the heart and intention that used to shine through these characters and their stories. Something's missing, and the result is underwhelming.
everything that happened with ashtray in this episode was horrible writing. absolutely awful.
ASSHHHHH! ASSSHHHH!! ASSHHHHHHH!!! poor Fez man.... that scene hit me hard
There are no words to express it. This is a masterpiece show. This show touches my deep heart every time, and I can't even wait for season 3 to come out.
Much better season and still a lot of story left here to tell. I think they wrapped up the play fantastically weaving it into their present day stories.
Anyone else feel like there’s little to no closure from this episode? Everything was left so open ended which is fine in certain circumstances but this was too much. Mainly the thing that bothered me was killing off Ash in only the 2nd season of the series. I get he was a minor character that didn’t get a ton of screen time but he started to get more and I really grew to like his character much more in this season. Due to the more screen time, I started to believe Ash was gonna have a crazy arc throughout the series since I always thought he and Fez were way more interesting than the other characters and the high school drama bull shit and collectively they had much more screen time this season so I really enjoyed it. They did it all just to kill off Ash. Whether it was for pure shock value, or they needed to use it as a plot device to further develop Fez it just feels so cheap. Unsure if I’m even going to return next season.
So this show has brought tears to my eyes at least once every episode. []But when Elliot sings to Rue... my heart sobbed. How can you not forgive him after that?[/] Never took the time to listen to his music before but I'm now obsessed. And I've read some comments about how the show is over the top with ridiculous scenarios that would never happen, (probably from sheltered upper middle class folk) it's really not. I know this for a fact. I have experienced and witnessed a lot of this and then some. This show brings me back. []RIP Ashtray.[/]
All season's been amazing, so I had high expectations for this one. Got pretty disappointed tbh, bc there are still a lot of problems and questions unsolved, and now we have to wait 2 years to (maybe) get all the answers.
Ash dying was heartbreaking tho. I hope Fez won't spend a lot of time in jail.
End of an era, gonna miss not having this show in my life for two years. I've seen a decent amount of season finales and I will say this is not one of the better ones I've seen. Not all the blame can be placed on Sam, some of the acting in scenes in this episode were just not up to par. Angus Cloud for one is a really one track actor, he doesn't do high emotion scenes well, that scene where he's hyping up Ashtray to let him take the fall was terrible. Don't even get me started on Nate. He was just so flat this episode, every line he said sounded ridiculous and didn't allow me to suspend disbelief. Now for the writing. Wow there was so many just straight bad parts of this episode. I thought the Ashtray death was incredibly ham-fisted. Sam wanted to kill him off but the motivation just didn't seem to follow. Felt overly dramatic. Nate tying up the Cal storyline might've been the worst sequence of writing I've ever seen on this show. What even was that. I guess that's all the bad. What I think Sam did amazingly this episode was the perspective shifts. Rue comforting Lexi from the perspective of an addict was just stellar. And although I saw it coming, when Maddy told Cassie "it was only the beginning" in regards to dealing with Nate I smiled, I couldn't help it, such a hard line. That was my synopsis for this episode. Sam had an ending in mind, you could see it in certain parts, but he just couldn't glue it together.
This show is a Fucking Masterpiece !
This season has been a jumbled mess and Sam Levinson needs to get his shit together because this is heading the same direction as Riverdale from the looks of it
the feeling i got watching that entire scene between maddy, lexi, and cassie is the exact same type of feeling i get when i watch maury clips on youtube: screaming and cackling my ASS off. anyway, i felt underwhelmed in parts, but damn, i'd be LYING if i wasn't bawling during ashtray's death and the speech w/ rue.
I guess I see things very differently.
I see Cassie as a very broken girl
Maddy’s boss kind of explained it best with her own backstory of why she did the same thing in high school that Cassie did to Maddy.
Cassie is a girl with real daddy issues that just wants love and attention and she goes about it the wrong way. Everyone is different and Cassie seems like she handled things about her dad in a more self destructive way.
While Rue is handling her heartbreak with drugs Cassie is handling it (or not handling it) with sex and male relationships.
Some of us can have sympathy for Rue but not for Cassie and that is sad.
Is it great that she slept with her friend’s ex? No, but they were broken up at the time and Nate just happened to be there when Cassie was at her most needy and vulnerable. (She had just had an abortion and a break up).
Cassie is a teenage girl with issues and it is kind of sad that she has become the villain. I see so much hate towards her and it tells me we no longer have empathy for imperfect people and enjoy piling on to people already in pain. (Yes, I know these are not real people and just characters.)
Another unpopular opinion is that her sister is fucked for putting EVERYONE’S business on public display with this play but the worst is to humiliate her own sister in such a public way. Worst of all to see the mom is not only NOT horrified that her daughter is being dragged through the mud on a public stage but she is also totally onboard, applauding and proud of what Lexi is doing to her sister on that stage.
In other news, I still want to know what the consequences will be about that $10,000 worth of drugs that Rue had. Has she told her mom that she owe’s a drug dealer $10,000??
The season finale was very satisfying. It feels like all of season 1 and 2 was building up this entire episode. However, Season 2 as a whole was not as good as Season 1.
This episode was all over the place. Better than episode 7, for sure, but still not a good episode. I've no idea what happened to this season - it started off so well! The first 5 episodes were great, especially episode 5! But it was just downhill from there, and the final 2 episodes weren't good at all.
The season's major chaos energy finally paid off, everything clicked from the eulogy and the flashbacks to jumping in and out of the play scene by scene, even wedging Nate's scene with the guns clicking to the police coming through the door, like in terms of connections and editing this episode is what I wanted the previous one to be, except I didn't expect that it would have a series finale feeling as well. I have no idea where are they going from here, but I'd really like some special standalones again between the seasons.
Phew! I think we managed to come out on the other side alright, all things considered. I really thought Fez would be dead, and they even ramped up that fear with the insertion of Nate's storyline right then. :cold_sweat:
I'm happy for Rue and Lexi to have ended on that note. I'm very concerned for Cassie, and I'm curious about what's next for Kat and Maddy.
The kinda sad note is how Rue leaves things with Jules. I guess that show of affection was supposed to be of some comfort to her, but damn, even Elliot got a few words...
Finally, Nate kinda detonated a nuclear bomb right there. I wonder how much fallout will there be. We already know that the previous one might come knocking on Rue's door any day now to fulfill her promise to get her money back.
S3 can't get here soon enough.
The problem with this show is that you have Zendaya's story and talent that keep you hooked, but half of each episode is about some teenagers drama that I find completely pointless.
I regret watching this season, I think I'd be better off watching just Zendaya's scenes or a YouTube recap to follow her story.
did i really care about nate or cassie this season?
no fucking way.
it was all about lexi & fezco (even in the season finale awww) <3
i feel like the showrunners made this conclusion so up in the air & i now i'm just not going to emotionally handle the trauma that this season left behind.......like whyyyyyyy mfers, what am i supposed to do with my life for 2 YEARS
i'm more of a rue than a lexi in this specific scenario, so i guess i'm just gonna mope around for a while oop
Not as big as last season's finale, but did end on a good note
why are we still watching this, as a society?
Never let Elliot sing again, that shit took up way too much time in an episode that left most of us with more questions. Next season is 2024...my ass def will forget a lot of shit by then lmao
Sydney Sweeney you will always be famous!
I’m so proud of Rue for the progress she’s made! She looks so healthy and happy now, which I’m so happy about because she’s genuinely a sweet person at her core. It’s so good to see that she not only got clean, but that she also put her obsession with Jules behind her and that she’s reaching out to genuine friendships like the one with Lexi <3
wow.....
Fezco really had a great ending
majorly fucked up after finishing this shit.. also can we take a moment of silence for the perfection that was elliot's "little star" song?

How is Rue gonna catch no consequences from losing that suitcase of drugs? They better answer this in season 3
