Last night was our last Euphoria Sunday until 2024. The TV drama wrapped up on February 27th, in a whirlwind of a season finale.
There was a lot on the line for episode 8. Going into the finale, we knew Fez was absent from Lexie’s play, Rue owed money to a drug lord, Cassie was furious with her sister Lexie, and the Jacobs boys were up to no good.
Fans speculated a death going into Sunday’s finale, and they were not wrong.

While Fez was getting gussied up for Lexie’s play he was greeted by Custer, who was cooperating with the police to solve the murder of Mouse, who was killed off earlier in the season by Ashtray, Fez’s younger counterpart.
Custer’s ‘airheaded’ girlfriend Faye, came through in the end, during a tense scene in Fez’s apartment where she dropped her glass of water and gestured for Fez to keep his mouth shut as Custer was recording the conversation about Mouse’s death.
My apologies to Faye. When it counted, she held it down #Euphoria pic.twitter.com/NpkecGydlf

Unfortunately, Faye’s effort couldn’t save the day. Once Ashtray clued in that Custer was a ‘snitch’ he acted quickly with emotion and stabbed Custer through the neck.
With one strike, Fez and Ashtray’s lives were over.

Fez held the knife and pleaded with 13-year-old Ash to let him take the blame, as the police began breaking down the front door.
Ash refused to listen and gathered all his firearms with him in the bathroom, locking the door, preparing for fire.
The SWAT team abruptly entered. Fez had his hands in the air, screaming for Ash to surrender. Seeking shelter in the bath, Ash began shooting through the walls, destroying the apartment, killing officers, and shooting Fez through the gut.
Eventually, the bathroom door gets broken down and Ash shoots down another officer point-blank. No longer protected by walls, Ash is shot dead by the police, right in front of his bleeding out ‘brother’ Fez.
If this scene didn’t make you bawl your eyes out…
Elliot serenading Rue probably did.
