Last week,Euphoriabought back all the goodwill it lost from discourse-fueled fans with an undeniably outstanding Rue-centric episode.
I wouldnt call itthis generationsPulp Fiction,but it was pretty great.
Get ready for a whole lot of reckoning.
That is, for Rue at least.
Tears cascade, snot dribbles, Zendaya isACTING.
Rues recovery encapsulates more than just her suffering but the emotional and social consequences of her addiction.
Ridden with guilt from their confrontation over the suitcase, she calls him to apologize.
But Ali hasnt forgotten.
And when Ali asks how she feels, you get the sense that its a question shes rarely heard.
(Star player of the season Sydney Sweeney sheds enough tears to fill the Nile.)
Meanwhile, Nate is doing just fine.
In the end, it takes just one phone call to convince Cassie to move in with Nate.
Ive ruined my entire life for you, she tells him.
Such is the case with the game of Russian Roulette in Maddys bedroom.
He knows how to weaponize her love for him against her.
Of course it all goes back to that disk.
(Again, their relationship is transactional.)
Why give it to her?
Its a far too brief moment for one of the shows most underdeveloped pairings.
Fezs only advice is that its necessary to wake her up.
(Some people need to get their feelings hurt.)
I just adore the will-they-wont-they awkwardness of their scenes together.
(!!!!!!!!!)
I feel like Im watching a romantic K-drama where the couple takes 12 episodes just to share eye contact.
Barbie Ferreira finally gets more than three words to say in an episode!
In a surprise to absolutely no one, Kat finally breaks it off with Ethan.
Or did Ethan break up with her?
I did not, and if you say you did, youre lying.
(I Googled what his name was.)
