Partially through season 2, viewers were eager to check whether the truth with regards to Cassie and Nate would come out. This episode came near that with the two at Maddy’s birthday celebration and Cassie going on a drinking binge after seeing Nate be nice to Maddy.
There was some contention in this episode, however, as fans were pretty furious with the choice to have Jules and Elliot hook up. They felt it conflicted with Jules’ personality and harmed considering they stood by so long to see Rue and Jules be a cheerful couple. Unfortunately, there was sufficient drama and surprising cinematography to keep everybody locked in.
we get two incredible sequences, one after the other. To begin with, the Cassie hot tub scene is greatly revolting and in a split second iconic.

Coronavirus caused an extensive break between the seasons however fans were fortunate to get two extraordinary episodes recorded during the time. They were kept to a generally small cast and crew to work inside CDC rules and the second of these portions focused on Jules.
This Euphoria episode was somewhat composed by Hunter Schafer and dealt with a lot of her encounters as a trans young lady. She likewise rambled about the unjustifiable tension she felt that Rue frequently put her balance on Jules’ shoulders. The performance by Schafer was widely praised.
Jules’ episode uncovers a ton about her backstory and what her relationship with her fanatic mother is meaning for her relationship with Rue. While it’s an impeccable, independent pearl of an episode, there’s a roof as to exactly how great it is, very well, maybe without the strength of the full Euphoria cast to bolster it. The show is at its best when the entire group is together, and in this episode, it’s only Jules from the main cast as her discussion is with a therapist we hadn’t seen previously or since.

5. Ruminations: Big And Little Bullys(Season 2, Episode 3)
No one truly expected that a flashback episode of the series could at any point focus on Cal Jacobs. As one of the show’s greatest villains, Cal isn’t somebody who fans needed to feel for however, this portion shed some light on how his childhood was like Nate’s.
Cal’s father was homophobic so he needed to conceal his actual self. The lengthy sequence prompting his romance with his closest companion Derek was applauded, just like the scene where Cal faced Fezco and Ashtray. Rue additionally set up a storyline where she got drugs from a dangerous dealer.
‘Ruminations: Big and Little Bullys’ witnesses a few key occasions. Rue, while reliably high, concludes it is really smart to go into a business association with Laurie. The same Laurie who threatens to sell her if she messes around her.

4. The Theater And It’s Double(Season 2, Episode 7)
Most of season 2 moved toward Lexi’s play. Normally the calmest person on the show, she at long last moved forward and worked on something for herself by putting on a school play. The twist was that the play was about her and her friends, uncovering shocking bits of truth in the process.
The episode amazingly exchanged between the play’s adaptation of scenes and what occurred, remembering revealing insight into Maddy and Cassie’s friendship, Lexi’s friendships with both Rue and Maddy, and that’s just the beginning. The feature must be the “I Need A Hero” melodic number that functioned as a method for uncovering a piece about Nate’s sexuality, which he frantically stows away.
Lexi’s play was saucy, amusing, and daring. Some way or another, none of the characters thought about what was going on with it until very far into it, despite them having scenes of their life in a real sense worked out before them in front of an audience. The projecting, ensembles, and view were stunning for a high-school play, yet besides that, it was a carefree decent show. Nate stomped out as the homo-erotic locker room scene played out, trailed by Cassie, who then gave her best Kubrick gaze while intensely breathing on the auditorium doors.

3. Shook Ones Part II(Season 1, Episode 4)
Part-way through season one, Rue is at present clean, and this episode follows her and the main characters at the towns’ fun fair for the night. Some light drama happens in ‘Shook Ones Pt II’ (incidentally, there is no part one); Kat sees Ethan converse with another young lady and misinterprets it, prompting her to hook up with somebody working in the fair.
Jules is arguably the most fascinating person on the show, so it’s a good idea that the episode dealing with her past would be extraordinary. At the point when she was 11, she was conceded into a psych hospital because of her gender dysphoria. The present-day stuff occurred at an amusement park where a ton of drama went down.
That incorporated a fight between Maddy and Nate, Rue finding her sister stoned, and Maddy and Cassie taking MDMA. Virtually every scene with Jules was extraordinary, from her defying Cal to him observing her later in the evening to the ending where Jules discovered that Nate was “Tyler” and he intended to blackmail her.
Shook Ones Part II(Season 1, Episode 4)
2. Trying To Get To Heaven Before They Close The Door(Season 2, Episode 1)
The profoundly expected season 2 debut of Euphoria is conveyed in spades. Rather than occurring throughout an extensive time, the majority of the portion is based on a New Year’s Eve party where each of the main characters interweaved. For instance, it’s difficult to top the intensity of Maddy almost observing Cassie in the restroom after the latter hooked up with Nate.
The show is generally adulated for how staggering it is outwardly, and that was clear in this episode. A portion of the shots twisting through the party is great, similar to the utilization of lighting in the last couple of moments. The genuine kicker was the beginning of the delightful Lexi and Fezco romance, as well as Fezco whipping Nate, giving fans what they had been needing for quite a long time.
The episode centers around Fezco’s backstory, opening in a weird, 70s looking flashback that shows his childhood by his grandmother and introduction to Ashtray. This segues into Fezco meeting Lexi and managing everything well with her: a healthy, wholesome moment in the disarray. This is just short and isn’t to endure as Rue meets Elliot for the first time and literally nearly dies while they ingest drugs together.

1. Stand Still Like A HummingBird(Season 2, Episode 5)

Rue then rushes to Laurie’s house while Maddie lays into Cassie. There are weak tearing sounds coming from it – consequently, why Rue takes off once more. Cassie in the meanwhile, has totally dropped her hardcore act and folds right away. Once more, the emotional and conceivable performances make this episode.
While the whole cast of Euphoria is great, there’s no question that Zendaya is the star. This episode offered her the greatest chance to show that as it followed the alarming journey that Rue encounters because of her addiction.
