![]() Lexi doesn’t find out what happened or if she does we don’t get to see it - and prison is going to halt the blossoming romance. He hits Fez by mistake (though not fatally) and after a massive standoff, Ash is killed. When we do return to the drug dealer's house it is clear not everyone is going to come out of this alive, as Ashtray locks himself in the bathroom with an arsenal of weapons. ![]() Ash (Javon Walton) reacts with violence as he tends to do - he killed Mouse - stabbing Custer in the throat.Ī sweet montage of Lexi and Fez’s phone conversations (that Rue mentioned in episode 7) follows directly after this bloody encounter and it paints a picture of a life that is about to be ended in one way or another. Custer (Tyler Chase) announces that the cops have found Mouse’s body and Faye's reaction points to the fact that Custer is likely wearing a wire. The episode opens at Fez’s home as he is about to leave and Faye (Chloe Cherry) subtly lets him know that something is awry. The other incident involving the police is far more fraught and we already know from the empty seat that Fez (Angus Cloud) doesn’t make it to the play. Nate has called the cops on his dad and gives them evidence of Cal's illicit activity, but does this also include the video of Jules? Nate claimed he gave Jules the only copy but, in the digital age, there could easily be duplicates. The redemption arc of Nate has been tough to swallow and, while his relationship with his father explains a lot of his behavior, it also feels like he is being let off the hook. One other distraction is Nate going to confront his father Cal (Eric Dane) with a gun that is never going to go off - twice this has been used as a red herring. This is what extra content on YouTube is for and it has the unfortunate effect of killing some of the tension. ![]() ![]() For some reason, Sam Levinson also decided this would be a good time for Elliot to sing an entire song - while the sentiment (and Zendaya’s reactions to it) is lovely it also drags. Rue thanks him for saving her life and they talk about Jules (Hunter Schafer) and whether they can still be friends if she is clean. He also broke up with Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and her fake smile turns to fury toward her sister after she is dumped. Half of the thrill of last week’s episode is from watching the audience reactions and the big dance number was enough to send Nate (Jacob Elordi) stomping out. The first half of the play is a narrative mess for those watching in the school auditorium but hits on some salacious and tension-building moments. “Our Life” covers a series of vignettes that we have already seen play out across two seasons, whether through flashbacks - such as Rue’s father’s memorial - or as present-day events. Much like the second season as a whole, this finale is emotionally effective in places but suffers from the fragmented structure and it cannot address the many loose threads left dangling. Memory, anxiety, and trauma are a foundation of Euphoria and in the first-ever episode, Rue’s (Zendaya) opening voiceover explains she was “born three days after 9/11.” However, it is the death of Rue’s father when she was 14 that is a rupture she struggles to reconcile and it is this defining event that Lexi’s (Maude Apatow) play “Our Life” keeps revisiting.
