Levinson’s script is typically audacious in its structural energy, whipping from one intersecting character and relationship to another while mirroring all of them in the play that we view from a variety of perspectives in the audience, on stage, and behind the scenes.
#Euphoria free online season 2 episode 7 series#
It was a heavy episode, but one bound to be followed by another stress-fest, as Nate’s precarious love triangle has finally collapsed, and Rue has reached the point of no return somebody’s going to have to pay for that suitcase.‘All That Heaven Allowed’ Trailer: Rock Hudson’s Legacy Captured in HBO DocumentaryĮpisode 7, “The Theater and Its Double,” is the show’s most exciting high-wire act yet, a commentary on the series itself baked into the narrative in the form of a school play written by Rue’s friend Lexi (Maude Apatow). Contrary to numerous fan theories, Rue makes it out alive, heading back home to safety, but not out of the woods. It’s an incredibly tense scene, in stark contrast to the levity of the police chase - it really feels as though Rue is going to get trapped in this dreadful place. Rue wakes up in Laurie’s apartment, which is filled with sleeping men, suffering comedowns, on the brink of waking up. A subsequent flashback emphasizes Rue’s grief for her dad, another trauma she didn’t really process, pushing her into the numbing embrace of drugs. It’s pretty clear what Laurie’s intentions are for Rue, and for once, Rue seems like a vulnerable kid, out of her element, and completely at the mercy of this school-teacher-turned-monster. Gently, Laurie coaxes Rue into injecting some morphine, and casually remarks on the fact that Rue, being a girl, always has “something people want.” Despite her previous warning to Rue, Laurie acts almost like a nurturing grandma, seemingly understanding that Rue is in no state to pay her back. This is followed by a ridiculous chase, as the police realize something is up, and Rue dodges fast-moving cars like a Looney Tune, seemingly indestructible, just for one scene.īut Rue’s dumb luck doesn’t last, as her desperation takes over and she heads to the house of Laurie, terrifyingly soft-spoken kingpin. Then, another comical attempt at criminality, as Rue bungles her way out of another thievery, managing to calm down a family dog, and escape, despite being caught. After so many episodes teasing the big reveal, this scene feels like another tease, pushing back the fallout for the next episode, as we focus on Rue hitting rock bottom.Ĭlearly, Rue’s still lucid enough to know that Maddy will never, ever wait for the right moment to express her feelings - as soon as her rage bubbles, it bursts like a water balloon, providing a distraction for Rue to grab some jewelry and go.įez has always been there for Rue during her darkest moments, so Rue heads to his house, but tries to steal Grandma Fez’s medicine, leading to the tolerant dealer forcefully throwing her out - even Fez can’t help her. For such a laid-back, seemingly unflappable character, the guy was really good at sparking unnecessary drama.Īfter setting her most valuable relationships aflame, Rue gets to work destroying her friendships, fleeing to Cassie’s house, where her body is beginning to break down from withdrawal, spurting acidic fluids out of both ends, trembling and drenched in sweat.įeeling threatened by the resulting intervention, Rue, unexpectedly, blurts out Cassie’s big secret - her affair with Nate. I hope this isn’t the last we see of him - Dominic Fike has felt like a core member of the Euphoria gang ever since he sauntered into their lives. Elliot seems to be done with all this, and simply walks out, having made Rue’s life exponentially worse.
