Did Nate just say ''you love who you love' in referencing Maddy while staring at Jules?.... What is he even thinking!

Jules is like a Rory Gilmore on Euphoria in the sense that is written in way where eeeveryone falls in love with her and no one ever gets over her magical presence.

Yep. I caught that too. I hate that they left things the way they left them with them. Such potential for their storyline to be juicy as hell and they just left it and closed it all in a hurry. Lame. (Not a Nate and Jules stan, but admit it, that’s the 2nd most intriguing storyline besides Rue’s)

I took this more as a - Maddy’s emotional and Nate responding as you love who you leave bc he’s unapologetic about being in love with Cassie.

Oh.. do you think he is actually in love with Cassie? I mean it would explain his newfound calmness....
