“Euphoria” Recap: Episode 8 – My Heart Has Yearned For a Thing I Cannot Name

Last night was the night, the season finale of “Euphoria” Season 2. And we are not okay! So much happened but so little at the same time; every second of this finale counted, and we are here to break it down for you. Here are all the highlights from Episode 8! 

1. Little House on the Prairie 

Right at the start of the episode, we get more much-needed “Fexi” phone calls, where Lexi (Maude Apatow) and Fez (Angus Cloud) talk about their future and what they want in life. During this phone call, we learn that Fez wants a lot of kids and to live on a ranch like they do in "Little House on the Prairie". Never saw this coming from him, but we are totally here for it! 

2. Cassie Storms the Stage

After Nate (Jacob Elordi) breaks up with Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) because of Lexi’s portrayal of him in her play, Cassie decides enough is enough and is done being embarrassed. So, what does she do? Tries to embarrass her sister but ends up embarrassing herself even more. After her plan backfires, she just attacks the actor playing Hallie! Oh Cassie...

3. Suze Thanking Ethan 

Trying to mediate between her girls, Suze (Alanna Ubach) also storms the stage. But before she fixes what’s going on, she calls Ethan (Austin Abrams) up to give him a round of applause for how great he is portraying her up on stage. Proving once again that Suze is an absolute icon. 

4. Maddy’s Revenge 

While sitting in the crowd watching Cassie make a fool of herself, Maddy (Alexa Demie) decides she can’t hold back any longer. She storms the stage and ends up slapping Cassie, then chases her all around the school. Eventually, Maddy ends up being the bigger person when Cassie tells her Nate has already broken up with her. Maddy then tells her, “It’s only the beginning” and walks away. 

5. The Return of BB 

Fans have been wondering where BB (Sophia Rose Wilson) has been, but the wait was over as she made her return to the screen last night. In typical BB fashion, she was hyping up Maddy while she was fighting Cassie, and that’s why we love her. 

6. The 4-Minute Song

In this episode, Rue (Zendaya) goes over to Elliot’s (Dominic Fike) to tell him she forgives him and that he probably saved her life. Elliot then sings Rue a song, which was amazing as he is a great singer, but a lot of fans were annoyed that the song went on for 4 minutes when every second counts in a “Euphoria” episode. 

7. Faye to the Rescue 

When Custer (Tyler Chase) shows up wired to Fez’s house, Faye (Chloe Cherry) knows what he is up to and isn’t going to take his side. She drops her glass so she can lean down on the floor to warn Fez to stay quiet. We love this scene because it shows how much Faye has grown to love Fez. Sadly, things don’t go her way and something major happens... 

Wow, what an episode this was, but we still have so many more questions that weren’t answered. What is going to happen to Fez? What about Laurie and the suitcase? What about Rue’s mom’s phone call? We don’t know about you, but we miss when seasons were 22 episodes instead of 8! Hopefully, we will get Season 3 sooner than later!
