Rue Bennett is on a path of destruction on “Euphoria,” and Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) had the misfortune of being in her manner. Throughout Sunday evening’s episode, Rue (Zendaya) escapes her mom, Leslie (Nika King), after Jules (Hunter Schafer) and Elliot (Dominic Fike) reveal to her that Rue’s still using drugs. Rue first runs to Lexi’s (Maude Apatow) place in hopes of discovering extra prescription medication. Whereas she’s within the rest room, Lexi and Cassie’s mother, Suze (Alanna Ubach), calls Leslie. Leslie finally ends up staging an intervention in entrance of Lexi in addition to Maddy (Alexa Demie) and Kat (Barbie Ferreira), who occur to be hanging out with Cassie on the identical time.
When Rue expresses that she does not assume she has the aptitude to remain sober for a protracted time period, Cassie advises, “You do not have to simply take it in the future at a time.” That is when all of it goes left. “Hey, Cass? How long have you been f*cking Nate Jacobs?” Rue retorts again in entrance of Maddy. Cassie makes an attempt to disclaim it by discrediting Rue’s reminiscence as a result of her habit. “I do not even know why you are believing her; she’s a drug addict,” Cassie tells Maddy, who threatens to “get violent.”
Rue exposing Cassie for sleeping with Maddy’s ex Nate (Jacob Elordi) and Cassie’s diminutive response has sparked controversy amongst “Euphoria” followers about who’s extra within the incorrect within the scenario. We knew that it was only a matter of time earlier than the truth about Nate and Cassie got here out, however Rue did not need to be the one to reveal them. On the opposite finish, Cassie continues to victimize herself by crying in entrance of Maddy and immediately flipping from being loving in the direction of Rue to being unstable.
One other aspect of the argument concerning the showdown is that Maddy should not have continued to yell at Cassie amid what was presupposed to be Rue’s intervention. Their screaming match turns into a distraction and Rue’s good alternative to flee. Whereas it is easy to position blame right here, Cassie is the frequent denominator. Our not-so-hot take? Everybody’s within the incorrect — besides Maddy.
