![]() For all the traumas we’ve seen Jules endure, from her ups and downs with Rue to getting catfished by a violent sociopath, we’ve never really seen her stop to process them. Hearing Jules speak at length about what she generously calls “a really hard six months”-her accurate synopsis of Euphoria Season 1 is that “a bunch of shit all happened at once”-highlights how novel her vantage is, both within Euphoria and entertainment at large. Like “Rue” and its exploration of recovery, “Jules” expands Euphoria’s purview-but unlike “Rue,” “Jules” builds up a viable contender for co-protagonist of the show going forward. But there are still scenes with partners other than the therapist, set in locations other than her tastefully appointed office. ![]() (A cold open showed Rue and Jules together in a city apartment living out a fantasy of connubial bliss.) Produced under coronavirus protocols, “Jules” is still claustrophobic by Euphoria standards, a constraint Levinson leans into it’s a full seven minutes before his camera cuts away from a tight close-up on Schafer’s bare face, a stark departure from the elaborate eye designs that were Jules’s signature in Season 1. Partly as a result of its scope, “Jules” is less formally ostentatious than “Rue,” which was largely an old-fashioned bottle episode set at a single, sparse location. Subtitled “F*ck Anyone Who’s Not a Sea Blob”-“Rue” was captioned “Trouble Don’t Last Always”-“Jules” is framed around the title character’s first session with a new therapist ( Looking’s Lauren Weedman), when she discusses the events of last season, her relationships with Rue and her mother, and whether to stop the puberty blockers she takes via implant as part of her medical transition. Following the season finale’s cliffhanger, when Jules runs away from home and Rue declines the chance to join her, we learn that Jules has returned to Euphoria’s dreary suburb. (Levinson wrote each of Season 1’s eight episodes.) And where its companion was carefully calibrated to feel substantive without advancing the plot, “Jules” does some real scene-setting for a pandemic-postponed Season 2. “Jules” is directed by Euphoria creator Sam Levinson but cowritten and co-executive produced by star Hunter Schafer, another first for the show. Some fans even think the fact that Laurie knows Rue's name is so concerning, she should leave the country.The ‘Euphoria’ Special Barely Resembled the Show. It was definitely a shock to hear, for a couple reasons.įirst of all, how the hell does Laurie know Rue's real, full name? Like, has she been looking into Rue's background? And if so, why? What is she planning? To say this makes us leery of Laurie would be an understatement. But when Rue shows up to Laurie's house, she calls her Ruby Bennett. There'd been no indication that Rue's first name was anything other than Rue during the whole first season and into the second season, since no one had called her anything else. What fans ended up with was an answer to what Rue's full name is. What she ends up with is not exactly what she bargained for (or is it?). In the end, she shows up at Laurie's (Martha Kelly) apartment looking for forgiveness and more drugs. ![]() And Rue finds herself running from her family, friends, and the cops to avoid being taken to rehab. Rue outs Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) to Maddy (Alexa Demie) for sleeping with Nate ( Jacob Elordi). ![]() 6 episode of " Euphoria."
