Wisely, “Euphoria” hasn’t let Rue off the hook once sober, instead forcing both her and viewers to witness the consequences of her behavior head-on. In her worst moments, She has cruelly preyed on her loved ones’ insecurities and fears, blaming her mother (Nika King) for her addiction and telling Jules she regretted ever meeting her. We had a long, long break between seasons 1 and 2, so long that the show did Rue and Jules interim.
