Euphoria goes completely off the rails as Zendaya's Rue frantically searches for drugs
experiencing a tumultuous case of withdrawal. At the start of the episode, our strung-out protagonist finally gets caught after Jules informs Rue’s mother Leslie that she’s been using. The fallout from this revelation is something we’ve seen previously in season one. There’s a lot of cursing, screaming, and crying. Rue kicks in a door and physically assaults her mom. Gia is traumatized.
Beneath all of Rue’s hysterics, there’s the terrifying revelation that Leslie and Jules got rid of Laurie’s suitcase. I think this scene would’ve felt less sloppy if Rue was primarily reacting to this news. It feels unnecessary that Jules and Elliot are also present for her to yell at.
Rue ends up making it to a bathroom where she can’t find the drugs she needs. When she returns downstairs, Leslie is waiting for her in the living room along with everyone else, who look like they’re being forced to interact with Rue against their will. This is another moment when the episode descends into utter chaos. For some reason, Levinson decides to expose Cassie and Nate’s affair in the middle of an intervention for Rue.
