![]() As much as I hate to say it, you can’t put on a good show without hurting a few feelings. I’m done.” Cassie slowly makes her way back to the auditorium with crazy eyes. As the audience stands, Nate rushes out, telling Cassie to pack her bags. Who knew he had it in him?Īs Nate watches, clenching his fists, the rest of the audience is screaming and clapping. But all of that goes out the window once the play gets to a boisterous locker room scene, and Nate, played by Ethan in the production, declares, “let’s pump some iron, boys!”Īll hell breaks loose as “I Need A Hero” kicks off a whole, fully wild dance number that includes boys in shiny gold pants thrusting their pelvises and spraying water bottles, spanking, and lots of booty shaking. ![]() When Cassie leaves the theater during a scene, Maddy looks back at her, and it seems like Cassie might finally realize the mess she’s made. “They became inseparable,” she says, as Maddy and Cassie sit far apart in the auditorium, unable to even look at each other. It was before we grew apart.”Īs she continues to reflect on her relationship with those around her as the play’s narrator, Lexi talks about how close her sister and Maddy (respectively, Hallie and Marta in the play) became when they entered high school.

Beginning with a flashback of Lexi and Rue (Jade, in the play) smoking weed for the first time and sitting on top of Fez’s gas station talking about their lack of social status. Though we don’t know how much time has passed since Rue’s intervention, or even if she’s currently clean, we see a smile come over Rue’s face as she watches moments from her and Lexi’s friendship play out on stage. After the last two episodes, which were some of the darkest ones we’ve seen, Lexi finally putting on her play is a welcome breath of fresh air. I am now a theater girl.Īs the most relatable character on the show, Lexi has had an ample amount of well-deserved screen time this season. Lexi is a genius,” Bobbi, the soft-spoken stagehand, says, and I couldn’t agree more. Is she really doing this, I thought to myself, as Maddy turns to Kat and says, “Wait, is this a play about us?” That feeling quickly morphs into a standing ovation by the end of Lexi’s play, leaving everyone that’s watching smiling, except for Nate. Starting off with the awkward tension of watching the Euphoria cast watch a version of their life play out via a version of themselves on stage, we get a sliver of second-hand embarrassment.

And in seeing this moment played out onstage, Cassie is confronted with how deep she twisted the knife in Maddy's back-all for Nate ( Jacob Elordi), who regards her as nothing more than a plaything. While Cassie sought to replace her father with relationships, often toxic ones, and Rue relied on drugs, Lexi turned inward.Īnd while no one seemed to notice Lexi, she was keeping tabs on everyone and everything.
