All the while, an electrifying score by Labrinth sculpts the montage’s soundscape, imbuing it with energy and anxiety. It’s kicked off when Rue starts to trip, cutting to each of the characters sitting with the mistakes they’ve made-Jules sitting in bed after hooking up with Elliott Kat sitting next to her boyfriend, whom she resents Lexi sitting in the theater where she’s working on a not-so-fictional play about her sister. That’s what makes the montage scene, marvelously lensed by cinematographer Marcell Rév, so exquisite and redemptive. It’s a mortifying fall from-well, not grace, exactly, but an already graceless state. Nate eventually sees her, crying and caked in vomit. It’s at once tragic and funny, with Sweeney fully leaning in to the moment of gross-out humor.

She gets wasted and throws up in the hot tub, blubbering a vague apology to Maddy to assuage some of her guilt. At Maddy’s birthday party later in the episode, which Nate attends, she’s glum and self-loathing.

She gets into a screaming match with Nate, essentially blackmailing him into staying with her and bragging about how crazy she can be. Episode four is particularly unflattering for Cassie. She’s sensitive and volatile, radiant and miserable. Sweeney handles Cassie’s numerous breakdowns with aplomb, offering variations on emotional ruin. None, however, are more indelible than one particular image: Cassie, the heartbroken heartbreaker, trapped in her vanity and surrounded by garlands of flowers.

It’s a dazzling sequence that marks a high point for the season, allowing the show to flex its fantastical dream logic and deliver a series of indelible images: Jules guiltily swathed in golden sunlight, Lexi worrying in an empty theater, Kat cruising down a black street. The episode culminates in a stunning montage that bounces from character to character, observing their respective crises through Rue’s euphoric, druggy lens. In season two, no trip has been more affecting than her downward spiral at the end of episode four, in which Rue imagines herself in the arms of a church singer (played by Labrinth), and then her late father. She dips in and out of consciousness, plunging the show into her vivid hallucinations. More often than not, that mind is on drugs, and those drugs have been taken by Rue. This post contains spoilers for season two, episode four of Euphoria.Įuphoria is a state of mind. If you're planning your Halloween looks, shop these pieces from Urban Outfitters to create the ultimate Euphoria style. Everyone seems to be into a bold makeup look too, which is always fun. Rue's look is a little more oversize and masculine, while Kat is full-on leather and latex. What does it take to dress up like a Euphoria character this holiday season? Well, if you're going for Maddy, that means supersexy matching sets and retro hair clips. We have a feeling the girls would definitely shop here, because there's something for everyone, and every piece has that touch of cool that all the characters are lusting after. Whether you want to look like Maddy, Cassie, Rue, Jules, or Kat, there are endless options at Urban Outfitters. Their style is so on point, and we love that some of these picks we'd wear in real life, not just on Oct.
