Once the meeting is done, he gives her a ride home and walks her to her door so he can introduce himself to her mum. He immediately spots that she’s high and tells her she’s on a “suicide mission”. Once she’s at the location of her NA meeting, she lazily takes a stairlift up the stairs and finds her sponsor Ali is waiting for her at the top. ![]() On her way, Rue sees Cassie running to Nate’s car and kissing him when she gets in the passenger seat. Elliot suggests he and Rue might not bring out the best in each other and, as we watch Rue cycle off to her NA meeting incredibly high, he might have a point. Between imbibing, Rue tells him drugs are the only way she can be herself, which leads into a conversation about love and loss, the death of her father, and keeping her addictions hidden from her girlfriend. “I feel like we should do drugs,” he suggests as a solution and the new friends head off to his house – where they’ve been holed up a lot since NYE – to smoke weed and rack up lines. Later, Elliot sees the pair fighting and asks Rue if he got her in trouble. Jules walks away from it thinking Rue has a crush on him and goes to cry in the girls’ bathroom. Instead of buzzing with romance, she’s thinking: “If this asshole says anything about doing drugs I will literally slit his throat in the quad.” She doesn’t have to worry about that, but she should be doing more to check her own behaviour, making Jules and Elliot’s introduction incredibly weird and awkward. All seems well until Elliot ( Dominic Fike), with whom Rue spent much of the party doing dangerous amounts of drugs, appears in the corridor, distracting Rue when Jules tells her she loves her. Meanwhile, another New Year’s rendezvous is threatening another of East Highland’s relationships, the reunited Rue (Zendaya) and Jules (Hunter Schafer). Seconds later, she received a phone call, with him warning her: “Don’t ever put that in writing again.” Back at the dining room with Cal, that caution ringing in her ears, Cassie cracks and snitches on Fez. ![]() ![]() After New Year’s Eve, Cassie decided hooking up with Nate in the bathroom at the party had been a mistake and texted him to tell him as much, but did little to cloak what she was talking about in the message. Should that happen, Cassie and Nate could be in big trouble – not over the assault, but their joint betrayal of Maddy, Cassie’s best friend and Nate’s ex-girlfriend. She repeats the lie about not knowing who beat up Nate, but Cal forces her hand, threatening to get the chief of police involved and have him subpoena everyone’s phones and text histories. ![]() When she returns home from school, her mum and her sister Lexi are sat at the table with her new fling’s father waiting for the interrogation to begin. He sharply pinpoints Cassie as a weak link in the student body, who it’s implied have all claimed not to know anything about the assault, and pays a visit to the Howard house. Perhaps to his credit, even after having his head used as Fez’s personal punching bag, he doesn’t rat the drug dealer out, shutting down his dad Cal’s questions about his attacker on the ride home from the hospital.Ĭal, though, is unsatisfied with his son’s refusal to give him a name and decides to take another route. After some time in hospital spent fantasising about starting a family with Cassie and – more bleakly – his dad dying of a heart attack, he’s released to wreak more havoc on the interpersonal relationships of his classmates at East Highland High School.

Last week, Euphoria season two kicked off with a wallop – or should we say several wallops, thanks to Fezco (Angus Cloud) ringing in the New Year by beating Nate senseless.
