If you’ve been keeping up with Euphoria, then you know the show is always filled with twists and turns. The next episode, which drops on Sunday, January 30, may throw a curveball our way, though.
In the promo trailer, Rue (played by Zendaya) says, “Please God, don’t let Jules find out what I’m about to do.” Additionally, it seems like Nate (Jacob Elordi) and Maddy (Alexa Demie) are getting even closer.
But the kicker is that there seems to be a funeral scene — and Rue and Elliot (Dominic Fike) are in attendance. So, who is dead?
Of course, the internet has a ton of theories — one being that Rue is actually not alive.
One person wrote, “Tonight episode was really really good. You felt bad for Cal. But I felt bad for Rue and was pissed at her for lying to Gia. And what she said to Ali Jules seems like she has a crush on Elliot Rue selling drugs is crazy twist and I don’t like it… Did anyone else notice this??? Jules and Elliot in the church together.”
“No no no no no NOT RUE. I love rue don’t freaking kill her omfg,” another exclaimed, while another added, “i feel like rue has actually been dead this whole time by the way she narrates this whole show, it’s all a recap leading up to her own faults which lead to her death in the very end.”
Others believe that Ali, Rue’s N.A. sponsor, will be killed off — especially after the way Rue spoke to him in last week’s episode.
One person speculated, “Rue/Ali scene was tough. Sadly, it had to happen for Rue character to show how far gone she is. Ppl keep saying F Rue. She’s a drug addict who cares about herself. The show has to show that. I feel if Ali relapse and dies. Rue will be broken with guilt which will be turning pt,” while another said, “Am I the only one that thinks they’re setting up Ali’s death?”
Since Euphoria is known for their daydream scenes — remember when Rue danced around her house like she was in a musical? — it could all be fake. “that funeral scene in euphoria better be a flashback to rue’s dad’s death and not ali’s funeral,” one person said, while another wrote, “Is rue imagining her own funeral in the next euphoria episode?”
Only time will tell!
