![]() ![]() Between the extremely Hereditary-esque Cassie-Nate drive, the swirling camera at the party, and the opening scene at the drug house, Euphoria looks like it might go heavier on the action this time around. ![]() Regardless, it's great to have Euphoria back in our lives. We'll have to wait until the next episode to see whether that means they'll actually try out long-distance while Jules is at college, but consdiering that we glimpse Rue dragging around Fez's drug-stuffed suitcase in Season Two's trailer, we're betting that she might be too deep in trouble to make it work. In a mesmerizing, weirdly lit, slo-mo scene that's classic Euphoria, Rue and Jules kiss. He teased more time at the Jacobs household in Season Two, so maybe we'll find out the identity of his little brother after all.)Īs for our main heroes, Rue and Jules? After their reunion-gone-wrong in Jules's bridge episode, they circle each other at the New Year's Eve party until they share a brief conversation, where Rue admits that she relapsed the night of the train station incident-and that she still wants to be with Jules. (Unless Jacob Elordi lied to us in his Esquire interview, Nate will be around for at least a little bit longer. Plus, you wouldn't think, really, that they'd kill off Nate in the first episode of this season, but watching a bunch of Euphoria partiers pull Nate away in their arms with Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" is enough to wonder. Speaking of Nate, our tall friend is back to a relatively moderate level of teen-villain chaos: Chugging beers while pushing 110 miles per hour, hooking up with his best friend's ex, Cassie, and doing back-to-back-to-back shots of whiskey.

At the end of the intro, we find out that Ashtray killed Fez's dealer with a hammer, prompting the opening adventure in which Rue, Fez, and Ashtray have to pay the dealer above that dealer a visit. Ashtray even gets a backstory: Grandma Fez took him as collateral for a drug deal, and his mom never came to pick him up. ĭid anyone guess a Fez-centric first episode? He finally gets the cold open treatment, in a flashback sequence where we learn that his grandma indoctrinated him into his unlawful business. When you've cooled down from your reentry into creator Sam Levinson's orbit, here's a quick recap of the episode, and what we think the premiere's impact will be on the rest of Euphoria Season Two. Following the bridge episodes' revelation that Rue didn't overdose during her relapse-and is very much not sober-Season Two picks up with the teenager in the middle of another bender, bugging Fez and Ashtray with her (rather haunting) a cappella rendition of Tupac's "16 on Death Row." ![]() And if you can't already tell, it didn't miss a beat. After a nearly two-year hiatus, excluding the bridge episodes, the series returned to HBO this Sunday night. Jacob Elordi Is Young and Restless and HomesickĮuphoria! How we missed you. ![]()
