‘Euphoria’ Finale: How Does [Spoiler] Die? Breaking Down This Character’s Death

We all knew that Euphoria would come to an end with a dramatic note, but the season 3 finale truly broke hearts. After a handful of characters died earlier in the season, the final episode concluded with the death of one major character.

Below, News47.us breaks down one main character’s death from the season 3 finale. (Warning: spoilers are ahead from the season 3 finale of Euphoria)

Most fans should know by now that quite a few major characters die in season 3. Laurie (Martha Kelly), G (Marshawn Lynch), Alamo Brown (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi). Nate’s death, of course, satisfied a lot of viewers since even Elordi acknowledged that he saw it coming.

In the season 3 finale, Rue Bennett (Zendaya) dies after unknowingly taking fentanyl.

Rue’s death is a gradual revelation for viewers. After escaping Laurie’s henchmen, Rue and G get away, and Alamo rewards her with drugs and money as his “employee of the year.” Once he assesses her injuries after the lassoing, Alamo offers Rue a Percocet, reminding her that it’s only for the “physical pain, not that s**t up in your head.”

As Rue sits with Ali (Colman Domingo), she becomes manic upon seeing a news report about Fezco (Angus Cloud) breaking free from prison. She tries to track him down and busts through a police barricade at her home before seeing her estranged mother, Leslie (Nika King). The two embrace, but unfortunately, this is only Rue’s fantasy.

Afterward, Ali discovers Rue dead on the couch along with the pills, which turn out to be fentanyl.
