![]() ![]() There is nothing exciting for Maddy this season whatsoever, only life-altering trauma, thanks to Nate.Īfter all the traumatic events Nate has put Maddy through, it almost makes sense that it’s the only way he knows how to act towards her. Besides the Cassie/Nate drama that she gets swept into, all she’s been seen doing is babysitting. Euphoria - Photograph by Eddy Chen/HBOĪnother character who hasn’t been given a worthy storyline is Maddy. Ethan’s departure is the last we see or hear of the two for the rest of the episode, and it’s frustrating. I could forgive the awkwardness of the scene IF we see Kat again, but we don’t. ![]() No matter how boring Ethan may be, he deserves better than being gaslit instead of given the truth. Making Kat come up with a brain tumor and pretend she’s dying in order to gaslight Ethan is despicable. She’s had almost zero screentime that focuses solely on her, and then when she finally gets it, it’s time wasted on her and Ethan. Kat’s erasure from the season screams of problems on set so loud that it’s deafening. I can’t remember the last time I was moved to tears from a scene where I could only hear the actor.īesides Rue, Gia, and Leslie, it’s a hot mess, and not the good kind. All she can think about is losing her daughter and not being able to do a thing to prevent it. With Rue’s admission that all she thinks about is dying, Leslie is rightfully losing her mind. ![]() ![]() She knows that there isn’t much more she can do for Rue personally, and if she doesn’t get help soon, it’ll be too late. Leslie’s heartbreaking plea to the hospital, in the end, is rough to hear.

I feel like I don’t know anything about your life anymore – Rue One thing I’m grateful for is that this episode brings a small moment of closure between Gia and Rue in the end. I want that given to Gia before the end of the season, even if Rue decides to ruin it all right after. Multiple characters in the series have been given scenes that allow them to bask in their happiness, even if it’s immediately ripped out from under them. I get it I’m talking about Euphoria here, but hear me out. Gia deserves to enjoy one day, one overall great day that restores her faith in humanity and brings her peace. Now, she’s only used for dramatic effect in Rue’s storyline, and there could be so much more. In season 1, Gia has a somewhat actual storyline where viewers can see her enjoy herself and even have a genuine smile. It’s time that Euphoria immerses itself in the life of Leslie and Gia for one episode. Leslie and Gia are a focus on the show when it pertains to Rue and her actions, but they deserve more. As someone who’s been in Rue’s shoes time and time again, there’s nobody better to help their family heal. It gives them, mainly Leslie and Gia, some room to breathe and pretend for a little bit as they focus on Ali and learning about him. If anyone can understand being in a position that low, it’s him.Ī family dinner is a perfect way to give the Bennett family a proper introduction to Ali. It’s by far one of the worst moments for Rue, as she alienates herself from most of the people she loves.īeing able to pick the phone up and admit to her wrongs is a big step for Rue, so it’s terrific to see that Ali can forgive her. In one of her lowest moments yet, she verbally assaults Ali and uses his past to attack his character.
