In this video, we are going to breakdown the Euphoria Season 2 Episode 8 Promo frame-by-frame.
So close out before the next clip if you consider the promo to be too spoilery for you.
“Lexi!
Lexi!”
“Let’s do this.”
At the end of the penultimate episode, Nate broke up with Cassie, so she walked back to
the auditorium fuming.
We don’t know who she is mad at, but there’s a shot of her stepping on the playbill, so
that might symbolize her being mad at the play, and thus, at her sister Lexi.
But who knows.
Maybe Cassie is mad at Nate.
Or maybe even at herself.
Unfortunately, that’s probably just wishful thinking.
There’s a shot of Rue as well as a shot of Maddy and Kat looking back over their shoulders,
so presumably, they are watching Cassie walk back into the auditorium.
And here’s where it gets fun.
There’s a clip of Cassie yelling and another of Maddy chasing someone with blonde hair.
Jules and everyone are looking over to their right, so in theory, Maddy and Cassie are
having an argument in the middle of the theatre.
Later on, we see Maddy chasing Cassie through the hallway.
Kat is following and there is a fourth person involved in the chase.
Not sure who that is.
Maybe it’s their friend Barbara who doesn’t get too much screen time.
There’s a shot of Lexi where she looks very concerned, but if we go forward a few frames,
Lexi’s eyes change direction.
So it appears that she is not actually looking at anything.
Instead, she is just deep in thought and concerned.
So this may be Lexi’s response to whatever goes down between Maddy and Cassie in the
audience.
We do know one thing for sure.
The show will go on.
When Suze told Lexi that Rue had overdosed, Lexi had been in bed reading.
But there’s a shot in the finale of someone opening up the door as Lexi is sleeping.
So my guess is that this is Suze telling Lexi that Rue’s father has died.
This clip may be paired with the one of Lexi sitting up on a bed in the theatre, and it
may lead into a flashback of a young Rue reading a letter at her father’s wake.
Here’s the letter, and if we flip it around, we can make out some of the words.
“When you died, it didn’t feel real.
It felt like a movie.”
She then wrote, “I watched you die,” but she crossed it out and wrote it a second time.
So the way this letter is written gives us perspective into how much pain she was going
through while writing it.
She also wrote: “And all I could think about was that none of it felt real.
The lights, the heavy boots of the EMTs and their respectful quiet voices.
‘Let’s lift him on three.’
It was so quiet.
And if this was a movie then” “this is the part where the character never
recovers.”
There are shots of a young Kat and a young Maddy, listening to Rue.
There are shots of the Rue actor reading that letter on stage as well as a shot of the Cassie,
Kat, Lexi, and Maddy actors outside of a house on the stage.
Rue and Jules both watch on from the audience.
So this is going to be very emotional for Rue.
And very insightful for Jules.
They had already been looking back and forth at each other in the audience, so you’d
have to imagine that after such an emotional play, Jules is going to run up to Rue and
give her a hug.
Or, at least, we can hope so.
And they might not be the only people to make up in the finale.
There’s a shot of someone walking in on Elliot.
It could be Rue.
It could be Jules.
Or it could be both.
And Maddy is in the bathroom speaking to someone – maybe Cassie.
There’s also a shot of someone hugging Cassie.
It looks like it could be Lexi, which would be great news.
That would suggest that Cassie isn’t holding the play against Lexi.
In fact, if this hug takes place after Maddy and Cassie make amends, then Cassie may even
thank Lexi for the play.
Unfortunately, things aren’t going to be so well for Fez.
There’s a clip of Fez looking back over his shoulder as well as one of him yelling
and knocking on a door.
I couldn’t make out what he was yelling though.
Faye is seen with a worried look on her face, and later, she drops a glass.
She may drop it simply because she is conflicted and nervous.
Or, she may drop the glass when the police break down the door.
There’s a shot of the trigger of a gun, and here’s an image of Nate’s gun.
So we know that it’s not Nate’s gun.
Plus, there’s the yellow background, which means this scene is probably happening at
Fez’s house.
The barrel of the gun is wooden though, so it’s not one of the police guns.
And that could be a problem.
It could mean that either Fez or Ash pulls a gun on the cops.
There’s a shot of Fez on the ground screaming, which suggests that he’s either been shot
or is being arrested.
For Lexi, “this is the scene that scars her forever.”
Last, but not least, let’s take a look at Nate.
There’s a shot of Cassie in a modern looking house with off-white walls, so let me know
if you can place this, but it looks to me like Cassie is going to go to Nates.
But he may not be there.
There’s a shot of Nate with a very serious look on his face while driving somewhere.
And there’s also a shot of him standing in an unfinished doorway.
That suggests that Nate drives to the construction yard.
While he is standing there, there are flashing lights of red and blue.
So the cops are there.
Why would the cops be there?
That brings us back to Jess’s theory.
Ash killed Mouse.
But what did he do with the body?
Jess believes that Fez buried Mouse’s body at the construction yard.
“This is just the beginning.”
