The bulk of the episode took place at the school’s winter formal dance, but the disjointed formal went back and forth in time, with several randomly placed flashbacks to several days and even months and years ago.

Perhaps the biggest revelation, though, is that the death of Rue’s father seemingly lead her down her downward spiral with drugs, and her casual wardrobe choices.

At one point in the episode, when Jules getting dressed up for the first time, with Jules (Hunter Schaffer) mentioning that Rue dresses like Seth Rogen, and at the end of the episode, we find out why.

The maroon hoodie Rue is often seen wearing was revealed to be her father’s, with Rue taking the hoodie from his bed shortly after he died, sniffing it to remember him, which fans picked up on.

‘Rue was really wearing her dad’s clothes all season. How did I miss that???’ said @BottegaVanessa.

Another fan, @boogums_, added, ‘Rue wearing dads clothes all season and Jules clowning her ommmfffffgggggggggg,’ plus the #EuphoriaFinale hashtag.

Fans also realized how, despite falling hard for Jules, Rue really shouldn’t be with her, with @reignsasickf**k stating ‘me after realizing Rue relapsed because the person she was staying sober for left her THEN realizing Nate was right.’

Another fan, @galielle_ added, ‘What Jules had me looking like rooting for her this season,’ adding a clown meme.

Others were pleasantly surprised that the end of the episode, an incredibly bizarre song and dance number based on Rue’s drug-addled nature, featured Zendaya’s return to music, since she sang the new song.

‘Zendaya just using euphoria to reband her music career and I love to f***ing see it,’ said @n9omi.

Still, others were quite disappointed that so much was left up in the air, with some feeling that the final scene represented Rue dying.

‘Can somebody explain to me what the f**k just happened? Did Rue die?? It looked like she overdosed again,’ said @JAlchemisttt.

@umasurampudi added, ‘So they… they just gonna leave me like that,’ while others addressed Fez’s (Angus Cloud) fate, since he was left with his drug dealer boss Mouse who was ready to kill him until he delivered the money he promised… by ripping off a prominent doctor.

One fan said ‘the only good thing’ about the finale is Kat (Barbie Ferreira) and Ethan (Austin Abrams) getting together, after Kat admitted she wanted to make him feel bad for flirting with a girl at the carnival (which he actually wasn’t doing).

‘jules left rue and tried to say ily to get her to get on the train,’ began @tkalovell. ‘Fez is probably gonna .2 away from being shot. Cassie just had an abortion. Nate and Maddy JUST realized their relationship is s**t.’ The only good thing that happened was Kat and Ethan.’

Euphoria has already been renewed for a 10-episode second season by HBO, which will likely debut in 2020.
