We're already confirmed for season three, so that's really great. We're gonna come back again in three years to do season three. You know, we waited two years for this season two, so we're gonna wait three years, three years for season three. That's what we're gonna do now. Without further ado, there's no need for introduction. Let's just get started. I'm going to say this at the very beginning of my commentary, he's going to die. Or he's not gonna die. No, I'm switching up. He's not going to die, but something bad is going to happen to him. Dude, I knew it fucking fey. Yes, I knew fucking fey was gonna bolt through for us. I know she was gonna be better. I knew that him sharing his sandwich in that first episode was gonna come back around. We gotta figure out what the fuck we're gonna say. Okay? Uh-oh. This is becoming a fucking issue. Why is he so okay with committing murder? Why is he so okay with committing murder? Ashtray is actually a wild card, and now I'm scared of him. I knew that Custer was probably gonna die just because we had to. Why did Ashtray do that so quick? Do you ever think about the future? Yeah, all the time. Really? Is them talking about their futures meant to symbolize or meant to foreshadow that he's not gonna have a future, and they're not gonna have a future together because he's gonna die? I'm on to you before you even fucking know it. Before you even know it, I'm on to you. Oh God. The demon's coming out. Do I look good? Oh, oh, oh, oh, don't do that. Uh-oh. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, what is she doing? Is she gonna beat up herself in the play? Enough predicting. Let's just watch. I'm like scared, like I wanna just predict what's gonna happen because I feel like anything I predict is gonna be better than what actually comes out. Like anything that she's going to do right now is going to really be the point of no return. Every single step she takes is a point of no return. It's very devastating to see Cassie season one turn into this. It's very sad. She's up here unpacking all of her trauma. I have no- Oh, it's up there. I pinch you. I pinch your armpit and make you fuck up. I just think it's funny that she is not speaking loud enough for people in the back row to hear. So the people in the back row are hearing, I have no idea how hard it is to actually hear it. That's what they're hearing. They cannot hear anything she's saying. I don't wanna play it. Is this part of the part? No, if you beat up my Lexi, I will beat you up. I will beat you up if you beat her up. This is embarrassing though. This is very embarrassing because it feels like she thinks she's Santana. Oh please, she has a family, she's a mother. Walk away and tighten up your body before you get to class. She thinks she's Santana Lopez, like going on this rant, like drying her to hell and all she's doing is embarrassing herself. This is your big moment. She's fucking nuts. Is she gonna hit her? Oh really? Then what is this? Well, after we in, welcome to act three where live action becomes live action. Live action becomes reality and there's no turning back. There was no turning back from once we started the play. To be fair, I mean, I'm not gonna just fully be on Lexi's side because if I didn't know my sister was putting on an entire play that also had me in it, first of all, I'd be super mad because I would wanna be a part of my character. Like I would want to be a part of contributing to the backstory and the internal workings of a character because it's me, you know, like if it's my biopic I wanna be a part of it. I would be mad about that but I feel like Cassie only saw the things that were insults or humiliation. It's kind of caricature of Cassie. She still was like, how can you be smart, intelligent and have that body? Like she did say that. And she's also talking about in this play, not just, oh, here's Cassie and here's, we're trying to embarrass and humiliate her. It's here's Cassie and here's how her life has affected mine. And I feel like Cassie's not understanding that because her brain cells are lost. Like there's not a lot of comprehension in that brain anymore. Mom, I'm the one who takes risk. I'm scared. Oh my God, it's so sad. Imagine your older sister doing that to you. That's why you're able to stand up here and judge all of us. You're just a fucking bystander. Mom, stop. All right. No, this is not okay. Like I'm gonna cry because I can't imagine my older sister saying that to me. It's actually making me quite sad because I can't imagine someone that you look up to your entire life. Someone like your older sister who's like there for you, who protects you, who shows you how to do so many things in life. And like, I can't imagine that person saying something like that to me. That would actually be so sad. And it's making me tear up because this little look on Lexie's face is making me so sad. Fuck, fuck you Cassie. Fuck you, boo. Tomato, tomato, tomato, tomato, throw the bucket of tomatoes. They're under your seat. Well, that makes me a villain. She's having a joker moment. She's having a very much of a joker moment in a very uncanny way. Like it's actually a little too close to the joker moment. Okay, well that makes me a villain. Then so fucking be it. Well, let me get this straight. You think that killing those guys is funny? I do. And I'm tired of pretending it's not. You did that to yourself, babes. You can't ride a carousel, children's ride, and like that, and they not expect to be made fun of. Oh my God, and she's running away. She can't even run. Oh my God, and there's so many of them. You can't tell who's who. They're very slow. They're all very slow. I'm so sorry. Beat her, beat her, beat her, beat her. Get her hair. Yeah! Shuff her into the brick wall. No, sorry. Oh, we're not doing this right now. We can't, we just went from ass beating to this. I can't. Why? Can I play you something? Sorry, I would be so upset. I'm so upset if someone said that to me. That's the first thing that comes out of his mouth. Can I play you something? Can I play you something? No, you can't. I don't want to hear you. It kind of reminds me of Nick Donis in Camp Rock specifically. I'm still working on it. Okay. You can't just put a little funky note at the end of the song and be like, I'm still working on it. Like you played perfectly throughout the entire thing and then you were like, I'm still working on it. Like it's finished, babe. It's like, we know, it sounds perfect. It's not even over yet. I should be dangerous. Oh my God, I need to find the TikTok because I was watching TikTok and title of the last episode was a, I think it's a book that this guy wrote. It's this whole idea that about putting the audience into the like, into the art and not having that protection over the audience, incorporating the audience to fully feel the art that's being performed. Which is very interesting being is it actually brought the audience to risk. I should be dangerous. What play in East Highland has started Riot and I love that reference and I'm lucky. I'm lucky that I saw that TikTok which I don't know if I liked it. So if you guys know that TikTok, leave it in the comment section down below because I wanna give credit where credit is due. They're best friends and that's lovely to see. I hope we get more about me in the next season because she's actually so cute. They're so cute. Oh my God, they're so cute. The whole cast is so cute. Just waiting for what she has to say. I'm sorry. Dude, how long is this play? Intermission was crazy, dude. I went to this high school play the other day and intermission was absolutely bonkers. You guys, you guys both need to put, you guys both need to put the gun down because if either of you have a gun while the police come in, they are going to shoot you. What the fuck is this? But oh my God, how dare you cut between that suspense boss scene and the cut to Nate Jacobs speeding, probably gonna get in a car crash, stupid motherfucker. He's gonna car crash and he's gonna run into his dad again and his eyes gonna be like, you fucking crashed into my car? What is that? You're scaring me. I thought he was gonna shoot his own dick. It's everything. Everything. Everything. Nate, look at me. Do not do this. This is satisfying because you know all the stuff he was saying to Nate was just like a little bullshit. Cause if you really meant that, you would have said that earlier before you had this weird awakening after you like got blackout drunk and went to your favorite gay bar. You know what I mean? Why is Ash doing this? You can't take them. They all have bulletproof, they all have bulletproof vests. I'm sorry. Stop. Not okay. This is very much not okay. Answer me. Guys, what the fuck? I just don't, did he, I'm really trying to get into the mind of Ash Stray right now. I'm really trying to get into the mind of Ash Stray to see why he did that. Cause I know why he was kind of like going into the bathroom. He kind of thought that he could like save them or something. And I don't know if it was a full suicide mission. Like let me take out some cops while I like die. Or if it was like, I believe that I can defeat the whole police force right now. I don't know which one it was. And I don't know what the fake out thing was either. Did he think he got all the police? Did he think he killed all the police officers when he was in the bathroom? And that's why he did the fake out and then tried to kill the last one. That's what he thought. Cause I'm really trying to understand how he thought he annihilated every police officer. I understand it. Like I know what happened, but I'm trying to get inside the mind of a character. And to be fair, I don't know. Oh yeah. This is the scene that scars her forever. I'm wondering if this is like what's being portrayed on the play, if it's actually word for word, what Rue says or if we're only getting word for word what Rue says because we're in the position of Rue as an audience member. Oh, and then it's gonna cut to her. Oh my God. And she's gonna experience the same as fucking thing when she visits Fez in the hospital. I miss you until I close my eyes. Thank you. Oh, such a brilliant scene. Such a brilliant scene. So well done. Love it that it's in the play. And I love it that Lexi wrote it in because it resonated so much. Like we saw in the last episode, Rue's dad dying and Lexi's dad leaving happened sort of similarly before they went into high school. And seeing this addition to the play is so vital because it resonated and changed Lexi's perspective on everything so much. I love that tie-in. I love how purposeful it is and I love how it has so much impact on the story and characters. I love it that it's so in character for them to do for Lexi to do. And I fucking love that final shot of Rue closing her eyes. Magnificent. Top tier. Fucking amazing. Fucking amazing. Yeah, just laying in bed. Cool, well, can I maybe like come over? Fuck you. Fuck you, because I feel like we're gonna get, I have to say over the season, this has been one of my favorite arcs ever. And I think why people like Lexi and Rue's friendship and why no one has really ever criticized it that much and in terms of Rue being a bad friend and Lexi's undying loyalty to her, I believe that it kind of is because it's probably one of the most universal experiences portrayed in the show. It's simple yet not. And why I say that is because it's the simplicity of just growing up and growing out of relationships and drifting off, which is so common. Everybody is experienced, everyone will experience it because it's one of the most common things that everybody is going to experience. And it also is attached to both sides of what each of them were going through. And I love it that it's finally coming to this full circle that it's really satisfying to see and that it wasn't just one person being like, I acted a certain way, I drifted away, I'm sorry. It's both of them having to grow up in their own certain ways apart to be able to kind of come back together and have that friendship. I can't watch these serious parts of euphoria with my boobies out. So I'm putting this on. All right, everyone come together like that, beautiful. Mom, no one wants to remember this moment. Oh, you're a little sugar sweet, aren't you? Stop. I'm so sorry. That's so cute. And also a wonderful play, might I add, the switching back and forth between the funeral to how they were growing and what was happening and how it ties up to that. Brilliant writing, I'm on time. That's crazy. That's cute, by the way, that photo. That's so freaking cute. But you've been through a lot and you know what to do with it. I don't know about that. Yeah, it likes what you made. You don't know how to do that. I have a lot to say about the scene. First off, I think Rue confiding and like seeming like I don't know how to get to that point. I don't know what to do with what I've been through and you turned it into something like this, so wonderful. And I don't know how to do that. I think I like that line because it kind of showcases this weird obsession society has with turning trauma into art. And if you don't turn trauma into something good, if you don't turn the dark stuff that has happened to you into this gorgeous masterpiece that resonates with people, then you're somehow living life incorrectly and dealing with what happened to you incorrectly. So I love it in this scene where Rue says that, I think I've been through a lot and she finally says it to really realize that she has been through a lot. And in the beginning of the season, we saw her say to Elliot that, I didn't start doing drugs because my dad died, which was true in a sense. It's true, but it also, her dad dying contributed to these so many feelings that she didn't know how to process. And not being able to process traumatic things leads you to do other things. There's reasons for everything. And that's what I've talked about during all these episodes is that euphoria is this classic example of cause and effect and each character has their cause and effect. But I think what Rue is missing is that Lexi made this play. She made this play, not just because she had this, I'm turning my life and what happened to me into something brilliant and amazing and this is how I'm gonna process all of it. She's processing a lot of it because of the people around her and because of Rue. A lot of the writing in the play has to do with Rue and things that she has said and her dad passing and both of their dads passing and this growing up and growing apart sort of narrative. So I think once Rue realizes that, that might be a game changer. I don't know. Because I know that he loves you a lot more than he loves himself. I don't know if that makes you feel better. I just love this dynamic between Lexi and Rue. And I explained it earlier and I've already had this whole Rue and Lexi like gooing session, but I just love this exchange they had of ways that they could really be there for each other once they grew up a bit. And I think that's a very important thing to learn in life is that sometimes we can't be there for people in the moment. Sometimes we do have to grow up a bit and we have to have a different perspective on life to be that comfort for some people. And even Lexi said in the beginning of the play when she's seeing Rue take these drugs at her own dad's funeral, she's saying, I knew drugs could be a greater comfort to her than I ever could. And I think it's so important to realize that they did become that comfort for each other. It just took a lot of time and a lot of growing up to do. Don't worry. This is just the beginning. I don't want it to be the beginning. I don't want this to just be the beginning. I want this to end now. She's like, immediately please, can it please end? Is it too late to say take back, C's? Is it too late to say I take it all back? A kiss is worth a thousand words, babes. I don't even think that's what the saying is, but a kiss is worth a thousand words at that point. I can't imagine how relieving that must have felt. I remember Ali said, the thought of maybe being. But she doesn't know that Pfezz is trying to be a good person. But she doesn't know anything about Pfezz. Hey, Lord, you know I won't die. Oh my God. We'll listen to that fucking song later. We have things to discuss and things to conclude. So I'm gonna do a really quick wrap up right now. I'm not gonna go on tangents. I'm not gonna go into every little thing that happened. I'm just gonna conclude this entire video and then I will do another video if you guys want me to do like a full season wrap up because I totally will do that. The whole thing with Cassie and Maddie, I do think it is this sort of drawn out thing through euphoria and if you love it, you love it. It's entertaining, it's fun, it's dramatic, it's reality TV show-esque type drama, which I know everyone loves. The only thing I wanna say on that, did we need every single episode to be the showdown between them? No. But I digress. It is what it is. The biggest shame about this show and how it's portrayed and certain plotlines that they take is that they have a hard time differentiating through the actual storyline and that deeper message that they wanna convey versus this shock value, graphic, loud reality TV show-esque drama that they place on top. And I think that's sort of a flaw. I think it's great because it gets so many people watching it but then I think a lot of people watch it and then they go into watching it, wanting it for this shock value dramatic stuff and then when it happens to be a slow scene with a roux or this like more simple scene that's not shocking but it has a lot of meaning and it can be very beautiful if you watch it. They have so much criticism over it and I think that's really a shame and I think that is not just a fault on the viewer. I think it can also be a fault on the writer. I didn't think Fez was going to die just because he's such a prominent character and he's become such a fan favorite that they wouldn't kill him so quickly. I do think he will eventually die since that was the plan for season one and that was teased throughout season two. I think it's eventually going to be his fate and it's gonna set up a lot of characters for this like big shift in their lives. If they wanna drag it out and he dies at the end of season three and they have a season four or whatever, you know? They might just cap it off at three seasons. Please leave your comments on this episode, this finale of you four. Did you like it more than last season? Did you like it less? Let me know all of that and let me know your thoughts on literally everything. I read all your comments. So literally let me know and start a fight with me. Okay, I'll see you guys later. Bye.
