Paired with Maddy's spiky bun, it's a look that's both elegant and edgy. There are lots of looks here worth loving, but my favorite is the black off-the-shoulder number with a portrait neckline and spiky back.

Maddy is the unchallenged style queen of 'Euphoria,' as she proves this week during her outfit try-on montage. Is Maddy into the mom of the kid she's babysitting, or does she just want to be her? We at the very least know she envies her glamour, as we see her play dress-up in the family's walk in closet earlier on.īest Dressed: I felt bad giving Lexi best dressed last week after seeing Maddy's Akna Damien Black minidress hit big on social media after the premiere, but I won't make that mistake again. When Maddy does, the woman holds her hand and thanks her for being 'so sweet,' and there's a weird flicker of something between them. Kelly's character comes home drunk, in a beautiful purple gown that she asks Maddy to unzip. I don't want to freak us all out unnecessarily at this point, so I'll just state for the record that I wouldn't wish co-parenting with Nate Jacobs on anyone.Īnyway, the only other Maddy moment we get is by way of an introduction to her boss, played by Minka Kelly.

Even the shot of Nate's blood on Cassie's thighs is visceral in a way that calls to mind childbirth. In the first half of this episode alone, we have Nate talking about having babies with Cassie and imagining her pregnant, plus this comment from Maddy, and the baby's cry that brought Nate back in the hospital. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but this season seems to have already dropped a lot of hints about the idea of Maddy or Cassie getting pregnant. Cassie's mom (Alanna Ubach), though, is more suspicious, watching Cassie's emotionally volatile phone calls and saying, 'Those aren't the emotions of a single person.' For now, though, Maddy seems to have no idea about them, despite a (possibly imagined) moment in which Maddy glares suspiciously at Cassie in the hall. Cassie had better be careful wearing a ponytail, because it seems like there's a pretty good chance Maddy will yank it if they ever face off about Nate. The girl is a fighter, and has apparently been ramming classmates' heads into lockers and sinks for years now. When Nate tells Cassie that Maddy will kill her if she ever finds out about them, we get a montage of Maddy's greatest hits - literally. She's never really been single before, Maddy points out, and even though Cassie wants to be pure like a monk, Maddy says she loves being loved too much to make that happen. Cassie alternates between depressed and frantic in this episode, with quick clips revealing she isn't showering or cleaning. Its biggest talking point will likely be the rising tension between Cassie and Maddy, which at this point might just be in Cassie's head. The sequence ends with Nate opening his eyes in the hospital as a baby's cry rings out.

Before the series title appears, we see a frenzied montage of birth, sex, and death, with injured Nate thinking not only about Maddy and Cassie, but also his dad - and even, briefly, Jules. This episode is frenetic, a nesting doll of interludes stacked on flashbacks stacked on montages.

'Nate was beginning to think he had brain damage,' Rue quips. He tells her he wants to start a family with her. In quick flashes, we see a montage of what seems to be the sex he and Cassie will have over the coming weeks, presented like a fantasy–her, naked on a bearskin rug, then gyrating under red light in the back of a pickup truck. We learn that Nate thinks it's Maddy who made him a bad person, and that if he'd dated Cassie instead, she might have brought out the best in him. Though we don't get new Nate backstory, this may as well be called a Nate episode, because Rue lets us into his messed-up head more than usual.
