In no particular order: Lexi gets Gatorade drunk, Nate footballs pretty hard and realizes he probably shouldn’t be with Maddy, Cassie has an abortion and vows to enjoy her single-ness, Kat and Ethan share one of the sweetest scenes of this season, and Fez gets in some shit.īut like the entire season, the finale is at its best when the cameras are on Rue and Jules. It’s a complete jukebox episode (which is saying a lot for this show) set at a school dance that views like an hour-long music video thriller-wrapping up every character’s storyline in a very loud, but very satisfying way. Last night’s episode -the finale of Season One -was Euphoria at the peak of its powers. Euphoria Outlines the Reality of Sending Nudes.HBO's 'Euphoria' Made Me Feel Old and Scared.Who knows if Rue will be alive or dead? Stay tuned. One thing is for sure, this episode doesn’t shy away from how ugly the life of a drug addict can be. Not to mention, even the camera movements are different this episode, which definitely paid off as we felt like we were running right next to Rue. With “Euphoria” being such a visual show, the camera blocking of the foot chase scenes was quite divine. This episode was action-packed, which gave us something different than we’re used to seeing. What started as a soap opera quickly turned into a foot chase like “The Fast and The Furious.” From pool parties to birthday parties, she essentially crashed every type of party just trying to escape the police. I think we all feel so helpless just sitting behind a screen that speaks for itself.Īfter barely escaping that random house, Rue gets caught in the street by police, but she made it known avoiding jail was not above drugs on her priority list. It’s so chaotic and thrilling yet so painful to watch an addiction destroy a young teen and the people around her. She’s so desperate and hungry for drugs and money that she eventually takes it up a notch and enters a random house after seeing the owners leave. With that being unsuccessful, she tries Lexi’s (Maude Apatow) house. Viewers see her stop by her go-to drug dealer Fezco’s (Angus Cloud) house in an attempt to get some pills. Leslie (Nika King), Rue’s mother, sits down feeling helpless as she watches Rue tear the house apart. Honestly, this is basically a family intervention gone wrong. She asks her mother one last time where her suitcase is, and out of nowhere we hear Jules say, “We flushed it down the toilet.” Getting back to the black suitcase situation, Rue eventually calms down or should I say, takes a break from her rampage for about two seconds before she starts it all over again. As a seasoned actress, she knows how to regulate the peaks and valleys of emotions, and that’s what truly makes us empathize with her character, Rue.Īt this point though, I think it’s time for her to win an Oscar. I always knew Zendaya was worthy of an Emmy, but this scene truly validated that. In an attempt to find her suitcase, Rue goes on a rampage, tearing up the house, yelling hurtful statements and obscenities, breaking doors and so many other things that would take a while to even explain. Now conscious of the fact that her mother knows she relapsed, Rue’s mind is only focused on one thing: the black suitcase. Elliot (Dominic Fike) sits on the couch as he watches Rue scream in Jules’ face.
