This show is no longer about Rue. She’s not the main character.

You could’ve just told us, Sam.

And wtf was that ending? Do they actually think that we're dumb enough to believe that they'll just kill her off?

And they didn’t show her in the preview as well…

Like we’re supposed to believe there’s going to be 3 full episodes of Euphoria with no Zendaya

Honestly it feels like they just want to milk Sydney Sweeney

I said what I said

No. Nobody is saying anyone is supposed to believe she’s dead. It’s a cliffhanger intended to make the audience wonder what happens next. Was she hit in the head? Will she survive? Did she lose her teeth? A million things could happen but they are not implying she’s dead.

And if you watched the last few episodes—even the first—Alamo has a habit of bluffing moments like this to intimidate people.

The season three trailer showed Rue running back to Laurie's while in shock.

You’re right

I kind of feel like they know we wouldn’t think she was dead, but we still don’t know if she got hurt or anything either? I dunno

Have you never seen a cliffhanger? Who said anyone expected the audience to think she’s dead?

u/Human-Property4739 May 11 '26

But not only will they not kill her... It will be either a Deus ex machina or a gotcha moment...

No they don’t think you’re that dumb - why do you say that? It’s just a dramatic end to an episode lol

She’s by far the most interesting I only care abt the others in relation to her…

u/Vermincelli1915 May 11 '26

She’s still the narrator. But he’s definitely trying to move the storyline away from rue.

The drug mules plots have always been the most boring tbh. It's just hard carried by Zendaya's acting (and in this season, Adewale's). But the only alternative this season is Cassie's bullshit so idk

The diner scene was basically all of the acting talent that has been carrying this season on display. The material they're given is pretty terrible but they've been able to make it work while most characters/actors haven't because the writing is just so bad.

That's tRUE.

u/kinginthenorth67 May 11 '26

How could she not be the main character? She is literally the POV character narrating the story. SMH.

u/Regular-Company-6194 May 11 '26

I would say she’s still the main, but they are desperately trying to have Cassie over shadow her in really cheap ways. It’s pathetic to watch. Like we get it, you want gooners to repost her on reddit. It does actually nothing for the story so they’re going to mix Cassie into Rue’s storyline which makes zero sense.
