TV ART INTIMIDATING LIFE –
April 13, 2023 – Rue’s father passed away sometime before the events of season 1, and Rue never properly healed from his death, which heavily influences her drug use. Euphoria also showcases the chaos her addiction causes within her family and relationship with Jules. The biggest drama on Euphoria, other than Rue’s issues, centered on Maddy and Cassie’s feud over Nate Jacobs. However, Rue mostly stays out of their fighting, as she has bigger fish to fry. Rue gets herself into a lot of trouble with a drug dealer named Laurie, who lends her drugs that Rue never pays her back for. By the end of season 2, Rue admits she stayed sober for the rest of the school year. It’s unclear if she will remain sober in Euphoria season 3, but if she does, the series will be drastically different.
