"She's Right, Oklahoma Is Not a Play You Read": The End of Euphoria’s 2nd Season

***This episode contains spoilers for Euphoria (seasons one and two) and Love Story: John F Kennedy Jr & Carolyn Bessette.--Euphoria aired on HBO in June 2019. Starring Zendaya as Rue Bennett, a 17-year-old struggling with addiction in the aftermath of her father’s death, the show was one of the first to spotlight Gen Z’s aesthetic and dig into what it means to grow up as digital natives. Since the second season aired four years ago, the cast has become who’s who of young Hollywood: Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow and more.  Ahead of the show’s third and likely final season, Mallika and Rachel dig into the second season finale — a.k.a. “Lexi’s play” — plus as many Euphoria controversies as they can fit into an hour and a half, which is not all of them. –30 Sec: Our life this week as a season finale 4 Min: What we’re watching this week (Love Story: John F Kennedy Jr & Carolyn Bessette, The Pitt, The Drama, Love on the Spectrum)18 Min: Summer House drama and Alex Cooper’s new reality show 25 Min: HBO’s Harry Potter trailer, Brian Cox talking about Jeremy Strong (again), Connor Storie to be on Criminal Minds30 Min: Introducing Euphoria 47 Min: One-minute season one and two recap 49 Min: Season two overview 53 Min: The season two finale 1 Hour 30 Min: Favorite and least favorite lines 1 Hour 33 Min: Our finale rankings
