SPOILER ALERT: Sydney Sweeney gets a new gig and Zendaya sees God on this episode
Meryl Streep Rejected ‘Devil Wears Prada’ at First So She Could Double Her Salary: ‘They Needed Me. I Was Ready to Retire’ The great cliffhanger of last week’s “Euphoria” was what was to become of Rue as Alamo charged her with a polo mallet.
We learn near the start of the latest episode that Alamo narrowly spares her — but that revelation comes only after we learn in a Zendaya-narrated series of flashbacks about what Alamo’s early life was like.
“The coldest female Alamo ever knew was his mama,” we’re told, and that mama is attempting to raise young Alamo on her own, all while taking on a series of unworthy men as some combination of lover and mark. She cycled through beaus, leaving young Alamo with trust issues toward women and a hazy-at-best idea of how a man ought to act.
Mubi Acquires Na Hong-Jin's Korean Thriller 'Hope,' Starring Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander and Hoyeon, For Multiple Territories Ahead of Cannes PremiereRue finally seems to be out of the woods in at least one sense — her having surreptitiously recorded an exchange between Laurie and Alamo has gotten the feds on her side and seems to clear the way for her to be out of legal trouble. And yet she cannot, still, get out of her own way.
An at-first-flirtatious conversation with Jules as the latter paints on an easel , ends in acrimony after Rue questions Jules’ relationship with her sugar daddy. Jules slaps Rue across the face, and she collides with the canvas, then collapses under it. But Rue has still bigger fish to fry as the episode proceeds.
Seeking some kind of inner peace, she sits down in a church pew and calls her estranged mother, saying, “I guess I just figured if He exists, then so does redemption. If there’s redemption, then there’s salvation. I kind of need that. It’s just – I don’t really want to be stuck with all the mistakes I’ve made.
” They part peacefully, if not reconciled. Something higher seems to be on the show’s mind throughout the episode, too: In the final minutes, Rue is nearly run off the road by an unknown vehicle seeming to have her in its sights, but — once safe from a potentially fatal collision — she walks out of her car and sees a burning bush. ) gets her star turn on “L.A.
Nights,” and it goes better than she might have expected; when she unexpectedly flashes back to the nightmare of her wedding night, her scene partner riffs with her and turns Cassie’s raw emotion into a real performance. Asked by the show’s producer about her background, Cassie declares “I’m a performer that uses my body to tell stories. ” No kidding.
It emerges — of course — that Cassie performs on OnlyFans — and the studio demands that Cassie shut her channel down there if she is to have a future in the new plotline she’s generated for herself on “L.A. Nights. ” Cassie prays on it, calls estranged husband Nate and finally hits delete, some short time before she gets a delivery in the mail — Nate’s finger, sent to her by his unpaid and unsavory lenders. Among the most intriguing aspects of this episode was the continued flirtation between Alamo and Maddy . Before Cassie scampered off to “L.A.
Nights,” she was Maddy’s management client, and Maddy now also manages Alamo’s dancers , posing those two together with Cassie for photos that prove Maddy’s instinct for provocation. Maddy also seems utterly unfazed by Alamo’s atmosphere of threat, even as, as Rue tells us in the episode-opening narration, Alamo had promised himself in childhood that “for as long as he lived, never again would a bitch outsmart him.
” It’s not quite as big as a burning bush or a finger in a box, but it’s one for us to keep an eye on as the season narrows in on its endgame.
