We’ll be the first to claim: Euphoria repeatedly skeeters into the bombastic. Last episode opened on an prolonged montage that referenced both Botticelli and James Cameron (the identical?). The episode earlier than referenced itself—and HBO and the incontrovertible truth that the viewers was once looking at a television series for leisure. Episode 5, then again, runs as a sobering, no-frills withdrawal, an episode which in no device leaves Rue’s facet and makes only the occasional meta textual nod in the plan of Rue turning to the camera earlier than robbing a condo.

Within the overall arc of the season to this point, episode 5 punctuates a sample of self-isolation that started with Rue’s relapse early in the season. (Or, moderately, at the cease of ultimate season.) Since relapsing, Rue has been slowly alienating herself from her enhance community. Two episodes ago she brought up Ali’s abusive past, threatening to slash her connection to him as sponsor. Last episode, she prick herself off from Jules after she expressed subject over Rue’s drinking. Elliot, who feels he has enabled Rue’s drug usage, then suggested Jules that Rue had relapsed. The episode ended with Rue on my own in her room doing oxycontin and having a vision in which she was once reunited alongside side her ineffective father.

With Rue now on my own, episode 5 represents a desperate try by everybody in her existence—alongside side her schoolmates—to intervene, to create Rue see the injure she has precipitated, to create her gaze rehab all yet again. The episode’s promise, then again, in no device materializes, as Rue finds a technique to extra distance herself from her enhance, apparently pushing away Jules for moral, de-friending Elliot, betraying Fez, Gia, and Lexi. And announcing some somewhat terrible stuff to her mom.

Here’s the device in which it all went down.

Rue Lies

The episode opens with a muffled offscreen argument between Rue and her mom. The camera lingers on Gia in this 2nd as she attempts to get away the upcoming storm by listening to tune. (Sound distortion with be a recurring motif in the episode.) Her door then bursts delivery and Rue begins accusing Gia of narcing, of telling their mom about Rue’s weed exhaust. (Rue had earlier than lied to Gia, announcing she was once only doing weed to point away her other inebriated symptoms.)

Rue’s mom then accuses Rue of doing more than weed, announcing that Rue is additionally doing pills. Rue calls her bluff and suggests they say out a drug take a look at. Rue’s mom counters by announcing she knows Rue is doing treatment, because of Jules suggested her.

Rue then realizes her mom must hang chanced on Laurie’s suitcase and begins tearing the condo apart shopping for it. On the identical time, she begins insulting her mom, announcing it was once her fault that she got addicted, that Gia will have to live her existence making up for Rue’s failure, and that had their father lived long sufficient, he would hang chanced on what a terrible mom his partner became. Damn, Rue.

Rue cycles via every emotion earlier than returning to madden and demanding her mom snort her the assign she effect the suitcase. (The suitcase contains some $10,000 worth of narcotics that Rue must sell or threat Laurie’s threat of sex trafficking.)

After asking the ask, Jules’ snarl from the kitchen answers, “we flushed them.”

Rue goes to the kitchen to search out both Jules and Elliot. She calls Jules a “leach” and a “vampire” and says she in no device wants to see her. She then sits in the hallway and continues to collapse as both her mates leave. She has the same opinion to her mom riding her to the ER.

Rue Runs

Within the car, Rue begins talking about how she was once days remote from killing herself. The car wander calls abet the outlet of season 1, when Rue first returned from rehab. Gia, her mom, and Rue are abet in the identical seats—because of dependancy is a cycle. As Rue says terrible things, we all yet again hear the scene from Gia’s sense trip, Rue’s snarl becoming muffled with traffic as Gia zones out. (By the cease of the night time, Gia will hang fully checked out, polishing off her blueprint from the very first scene at the exhaust of earbuds to block out the family disaster.)

When she realizes the “ER” moral capability rehab, Rue will get out of the car at an intersection and runs.

Hours later, she wakes up in some culvert/alley and goes to see Fez. Fez is long gone. Rue then goes to Lexi and Cassie’s condo, the assign she’s greeted by a fervent community, alongside side Lexi, Cassie, Maddie, and Kat. She makes exhaust of the bathroom and steals some jewelry earlier than emerging on the steps to that identical community—now alongside side her mom, whom Lexi likely called—confronting her about her drug usage. Rue then drops a bomb.

She tells Cassie she knows she’s been hooking up with Nate. The room then erupts, and Maddie begins yelling at Cassie. Within the chaos, Rue escapes out the door. She runs some more.

Rue returns to Fez’s. Fez is dwelling and invitations Rue in barely to gaze she is experiencing withdrawal. Rue tries to retract pills from Fez’s grandmother. Fez then kicks a aloof-sober Rue out.

Rue continues to bustle, passing a condo the assign couple is leaving their storage, riding out, it appears to be like, for the night time. Rue Indiana-Jones geese under the closing door and heads to the bedroom the assign she begins stealing jewelry and loose cash. The couple returns. Rue hides. Rue is chanced on. Rue runs again.

Rue Retains Running

You know, if she doesn’t extinguish herself from addition, Rue must truly retract into fable long distance video display events.

Persevering with to bustle via neighborhoods, Rue is noticed by a patrol car. She retches. They delivery chasing her. The high-tail crashes via backyards and marriage ceremony events and pool events and BBQs. Rue escapes by hiding in a trash can.

She then goes to see Laurie, bearing price in the plan of the jewellery and cash she has been stealing all night time. Laurie, unsurprised by Rue’s failure, insists she must pay her in cash. After telling Rue a legend about how she herself was once bent on oxycontin, Laurie says she will be able to be able to motivate retract away Rue’s anxiousness and affords morphine. Rue has now not yet taken opiates intravenously. She hesitates nonetheless finally relents. When Laurie is popping up Rue, she comments on how when she first noticed Rue, she thought to herself, “this girl goes to be in my existence for a actually long time”—sinisterly implying how Rue’s debt to Laurie is some distance from over.

Rue wakes up in Laurie’s condo hours later and realizes she is locked in. She escapes out of a window.

The episode ends with Rue’s mom sitting on my own at the kitchen desk because the entrance door opens.
