Euphoria is back, and while it’s no Love Story (a show that, while imperfect, at least immersed me in the visual culture of ’90s New York, as opposed to this particularly bleak vision of an unnamed city that’s clearly present-day Los Angeles and its suburbs), it’s still nice to catch up with Rue, Maddy, Cassie, Nate, and all the other troubled characters each week. Let’s dive into Season 3’s second episode.

Here are all my thoughts on Season 3, Episode 2 of Euphoria:

We love to see Maddy in bell-bottoms.
Is that Versace… or not?
“I’m not a victim, I won’t be an HR nightmare, and I believe in capitalism.” Does saying that out loud summon the ghost of Bari Weiss?
Wait… are they really covering COVID and the 2020 protests on this show? Now?
I’m usually great at spotting LA beaches on screen, but I have no idea where they are.
…Leo Carrillo?
God, remember hype houses?
And the foot-pic economy?
Is that the Friends couch?
I have a lot of questions.
Is Maddy going to manage Cassie?
Someone needs to.
I have to say, I kind of love farm Rue.
Well, that was a brutal shot of Tish’s hair in a drain.
From Laurie to Alamo… I guess that’s a lateral move, but I see why Alamo’s vibe (and stripper access) would appeal more to Rue.
Hmm, is a bit of a gender journey being hinted at for Rue?
“Mr. Rolex wants to party.” Don’t they always?
Okay, I kind of love Angel for Rue!
You can miss Jules and still hook up with hot girls, babe.
Hey, it’s Jules herself!
God, Zendaya really has incredible range as an actress.
This phone scene where she leaves a voicemail for her mom is heartbreaking!
Why does Rue as a strip-club house mother make so much sense?
ROSALÍA!
In a gem-encrusted neck brace!
Yay! I understood a whole Spanish sentence!
Maybe it was context clues, but still—thank you, Duolingo (and three years living in LA).
Rue and Maddy as unlikely besties always makes me so happy.
“I’m not a fucking hooker.” Another Emmy-worthy line delivery from Alexa Demie!
Saying “I have a meeting” while dressed in full lingerie is amazing.
Speaking of (ex-)besties… are Cassie and Maddy up to their old tricks?
“I miss high school,” said no one ever.
Glad Sam Levinson is treating Sydney Sweeney’s much-discussed bust with all the, um, respect it deserves.
Ah, to drive down the PCH in a bright-red convertible.
Rue’s living the dream!
…sort of.
Someone’s dream, anyway.
Maddy’s kiss curls are everything to me.
I love how clearly upset Cassie is by how good Maddy looks.
To sip Aperol spritzes poolside at the Peninsula with your frenemy… ah, the joys and struggles of youth and beauty.
Aw, it’s Eric Dane 🙁
“I’m not getting into the morality of OnlyFans with you.” Fair boundary, Nate!
Oh, Rue, let’s not hit women.
Are men still making mother-in-law jokes?
Very Henny Youngman-core.
It’s crazy how hot I found Jacob Elordi in Wuthering Heights and how sexually allergic I am to him on this show.
“Why are you dressed as a baby?” Amazing question, SAM LEVINSON!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never show a man your phone when he asks you to, girls.
I hate this Pucci (?) dress on Cassie, sorry.
Okay, how nice could these wedding flowers possibly be?
Justice for Juana!
“I just grew up in a house with a lot of secrets and lies” —the worst, most controlling man you’ve ever met (Nate).
“Is that a dinosaur?” LOL.
Nope, it’s a pig!
Never talk crazy to Alamo!
Jules looks so pretty 🙂
“Cali sober” mentioned!
Need the details on Jules’s iridescent lavender eyeshadow, stat.
I’m so scared to meet Jules’s boyfriend.
Sapphic bathtime!
