Rue was there to reassure Lexi that it’s okay to be an outsider, but Lexi can’t provide that same comfort when Rue is consumed by grief and addiction. In their halcyon days, they played pranks and talked for hours on the roof of Fez’s store - but they began to drift apart once Rue’s father passed away. The disintegration of their friendship has been only vaguely addressed, and here, it’s a topic Euphoria still traipses around - perhaps because Lexi is reluctant to even admit they’re no longer best friends. Rue is (or, rather, was) naturally a major presence in Lexi’s life. The big question “The Theater and It’s Double” ends on is: What happened to Fez? It looks like they’re setting him and Ash up for tragedy. Ash seems to have caught on to the deception, but that empty seat is pretty compelling evidence he’s too late. Last episode revealed that Custer is cooperating with the police, and as Fez gets ready to leave, he prepares to turn him in. Lexi saves him “the best seat in the house,” but every time she looks over, the most important audience member is suspiciously missing. (It does.) The one person Lexi can’t possibly upset is Fez, who calms her down through long phone calls and spends the episode adorably getting suited up for the performance. But still, fear and doubt creep in as she worries her play will make everyone angry. And in writing herself as the main character, no one can overshadow her. She commands her crew with unshakable authority and relishes the spotlight. Taking on the role of director, writer, and star, Lexi flourishes in ways she rarely exhibits. But the formal experimentation has its purpose in enriching Lexi’s character in contrast to the show’s typical indulgences. (Revolving stages! Multiple dance numbers!) Complete with Lexi’s meandering narration that darts from thought to thought, the play is as frenetic and overly ambitious as, well, a Euphoria episode. For a high-school play, it’s both expectedly clumsy and unbelievably extravagant. Lexi is, as we come to learn, the Bad Art Friend: Inspired by her childhood on the sidelines, her play about a fractured group of friends is an autobiographical patchwork of perfectly recreated memories, observations, and dream sequences that strike a nerve with just about everyone. The curtains rise for her much-hyped play, and “The Theater and It’s Double” cuts between the stage and her backstory. Fez and Lexi continued to bond, but Mouse’s murder continues to be investigated, so things don’t look good for him.You asked, begged, and relentlessly pleaded for a Lexi episode - and Euphoria certainly delivered.Kat feigned a terminal brain disease to break up with Ethan and then accused him of gaslighting her for pointing out that she was obviously lying.He then gave it to Jules and invited Cassie to stay with him. Nate, due to inherit Cal’s business, went to retrieve his dad’s illegal sex tape from Maddy (who still isn’t talking to him) and employed some psychopathic techniques to acquire it.Despite being able to apologize to Ali, who cooked her family dinner, it looks like Rue won’t be able to get a place at a rehab facility. Rue battled her way through withdrawal with the help of her mother and some medication, but she’s a long way from sober.Euphoria season 2, episode 7, titled “The Theatre and It’s Double”, will presumably continue to develop some of the following developments: After last week’s episode of Euphoria focused almost exclusively on Rue as she rapidly spiraled into madness after the reveal of her relapse, this week’s finds her having hit rock bottom and widens its focus a little to check in on the other characters, several of whom are affected by Rue’s frantic outbursts.
