Meanwhile, Cassie becomes increasingly awkward around Maddy, her best friend. Then Elliot shows up, Rue gets weird (she’s been hanging with Elliot and doing drugs, even though Jules thinks she’s sober), and Jules leaves upset. Next, we return to school where Rue and Jules mack in the hallway, Rue narrating, explaining she finally has everything she always wished for. He also imagines his father dying, which frees him from most of his current woes-including the fact that Maddy still has a recording of Daddy Jacobs hooking up with Jules, an object which seems to have become Nate’s grail quest. He imagines a life with her, including her bearing his child. After the PartyĪccording to Rue, Nate begins falling for Cassie as he is transported to the hospital. The rest of the episode proceeds from there. What’s important for episode 2, however, are things we learn about Nate’s post-assault state: he inexplicably loves Cassie now.

Maybe the entire show is a lie Rue tells to a group of addicts in an AA meeting. This unreliability allows the series to dial up full bombast. (Her and Jules’ matching tattoos, for example.)

Her unreliability has been proven several times over, as we often see things that don’t actually occur, or jive with her telling of them. At this point, nothing Rue says should be taken without a pinch of powder. Several times this episode she reminds us she wasn’t there-or sober-to know exactly what happened. How Rue is able to make these moves has always been suspect. Episode 2, though it begins with Nate, will make several character jumps, accessing multiple people’s thoughts and activities. Episode 1 featured Fez, whose adolescence Rue chronicles from criminal witness to criminal. Nate is carried to a car by several people as Rue’s narration begins.Įach Euphoria episode tends to favor a single character with Rue acting as third-party narrator.

The following contains spoilers for Euphoria season 2 episode 2.Įuphoria’s second episode picks up where episode one left off: at the New Year’s Eve house party where Fez attempts to follow through on his threat against Nate, namely, by killing him.
