THAT’S ALL? Euphoria left us hanging after the finale Whole characters seemed to drop out of the story this season (remember Kat?), but, for like the last three episodes of Season 2, Sam Levinson left us worrying that something would happen to Fez. A fellow fan posted the window knocking gif as soon as the finale ended and it’s the only reaction. —MV
Disbelief SUSPENDED After seeing the way the school never objects to how female characters dress for class (left), viewers have to assume normal rules don’t apply here. But the finale might be a bit much. The plot bends time to show Lexi’s real life inspiration with the premiere of her original play (on top of new action in East Highland). Lexi’s audience rolls along with huge delays between scenes, but the sets are Broadway quality. PopSugar hunted down some answers, learning that’s how high school kids see their own productions. The TV audience has to be as compliant as the theater audience, though.
BREAK OUT STAR If you thought the girls’ faces looked toned down Season 2, you weren’t wrong. Doniella Davy told CNN she pivoted to 1960s modern minimalism to follow each character’s journey. The interview not only recaps how she got into the business but also the massive popularity of the looks she created for Euphoria. Davy said it’s a “super collaborative process,” sometimes discussing the crying in one scene and whether the actress would still have eyeliner in the next. See Davy’s work on Instagram @donni.davy
DRUG DEALERS WORRY ME The main character, Rue, is a drug addict. We see her dealer, Fezco (right), and his adopted brother, Ashtray, try to keep Rue safe. Meanwhile Rue promises to sell thousands of dollars worth of drugs for a different dealer. Then what?! The finale has Rue all, “I stayed clean.” But... But...
Jules • Cassie • Faye
A warning to the face-blind
I don’t feel so bad about sometimes mistaking the newest blonde in the cast (Faye, far right) for other characters now that I know Chloe Cherry was discovered in parodies of Euphoria, playing Jules (Hunter Schafer, far left), not Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) like I would have guessed. Cherry told NYLON, “It was just absolutely unreal to see everybody in person. Everybody’s so beautiful and so nice, and they all have amazing personalities.” —MV
