Episode 8 Euphoria Season Finale Recap: And Salt the Earth Behind You

Finale! Here we are it all comes to tonight, the Junior formal. As all high school experiences end – in a dance. Before we get to a night of a million gowns we left off with Rue destroying her insides. She is at the hospital after suffering a kidney infection. They prescribe her Vicodin (5mg) Rue is an expert at this time and watching her try to act like she doesn’t know drugs is despicable. She’s all stuttering “no Vicodin for me, but I remember last time I had my wisdom teeth out they gave me Roxi-Roxi’ and the nurse is like Roxicet? She’s like “yea! 25mg please.” WHAT! She gets shut DOWN by the doctor, they know you have a drug problem now, cuz the last time you were in the hospital you OD’d and were in a coma. The doctor is like due to you history – only Tylenol for you! And put her on Sepro??… I have no idea what half of these things are, but she is also on Lexapro. Now I know Lexapro from people I know who take it, and also that Kanye lyric (I know… he who shall not be named.) HOMECOMING Rue is in the hospital for 3 days this time. Apparently she loves hospitals, there is a certain type of order she can get down with I guess. They tell you when to eat, sleep give you pills and you have controlled exploration at your soft socked feet. She even feels like the beeps of the machines sound like birds and she imagines she at a poolside chair on a hot summer night in the Caribbean. UMMM gonna say da-nae-no, but to each their own.

Jules comes to visit while Rue is in the hos…
