![]() Exposing the DVD works as blackmail against Nate, breaking up his family even more and ruining his superb reputation among his peers. Maddy may never see Cassie as a friend again, but she might be reasonable enough to understand who the true culprit is - Nate Jacobs. The promo for Episode 6 shows Maddy contemplating the infamous DVD that Nate has been hiding, whose contents have never been shown but is likely the sex tape between Jules and Cal. There is a hint though, of who Maddy will be seeking revenge on. But where does their relationship go from here? It might never be the same. If they were once soulmates, they may be enemies now, and all because of an abusive man who doesn't deserve either of them. Maddy has been nothing but a supportive friend to Cassie, and she very quickly turned the tables on her. It's a heartbreaking moment that is meant to make the viewers feel both bad for Cassie (because they're hating Rue for being petty) and feel she got what she deserved. RELATED: Euphoria Just Used the Worst LGBTQ Trope to Humanize Its Villain ![]() While Cassie is trying to convince Maddy through tears that Rue is lying, Maddy berates her about being a horrible friend and a liar, and threatens to beat her up for it. Maddy's reaction to Cassie is about what she expected. She uses harsh language and violence to convey her anger, which makes her both a confident-oozing and terrifying person. Just a few episodes earlier, Rue narrated that Cassie was terrified to tell Maddy the truth since Maddy is not exactly the most forgiving of people. A spiteful Rue then asks how long Cassie has been having sex with Nate, which Maddy immediately slams Cassie for. Rue expresses hopelessness in becoming sober, and Cassie innocently responds with encouragement. Either Lexi or her mom call Rue's mother to take her to rehab, which results in an intervention. Maddy, it turns out, never needed to fight Cassie in order to win the war.After a sloppy escape from her mother and sister through ongoing traffic, Rue expects to find a safe place at Lexi and Cassie's house, which Maddy and Kat are also at. Then, without lifting a finger, she gets the ultimate revenge at the end of the episode, when Nate gets so fed up with Lexi’s play that he breaks up with Cassie on the spot. For once, Maddy has the upper hand and she revels in it, laughing at Nate’s embarrassment. The play also pokes endless fun at Cassie and Nate (though the homoerotic splendor of the Nate-centric football scene was undercut by a weirdly homophobic tone). She’s also warmly portrayed in Sunday night’s episode, with Lexi’s controversial play shining a kind light on the Maddy character and emphasizing her role as a surrogate big sister, reminding viewers that Maddy moved in with Cassie’s family because her parents fought all the time. In the previous episode, she got to hang out with her mentor, Samantha ( Minka Kelly, in a role written for her), and hear some kind, sensible words of wisdom for how to get over Cassie’s betrayal. Yet the underlying current of the episode is the rising zen of Maddy. (Achingly portrayed by Demie, taking the baton from season 2 scene-stealer Sydney Sweeney.) Then, Maddy leaves, closing the Cassie chapter of her life. Just a girl crying over the betrayal of her best friend. All the huffing and puffing that was promised actually turns into a tender teen breakdown. “Open the door and tell me it was worth it!” Maddy says, sobbing while Kat rubs her backs and comforts her. Maddy charges behind and bangs on the door (the second time this season Cassie’s had to lock herself in a bathroom to hide from Maddy). Instead, right after Rue reveals Cassie’s secret, Cassie sprints up the stairs and locks herself in her bathroom. But surprisingly, it wasn’t the violent showdown that fans imagined it might be. This Sunday night’s episode retraced last week’s steps and flashed back to the Big Reveal, showing exactly what happened after Maddy ( Alexa Demie) found out about the affair. ![]() To the grave disappointment of fans, the episode glossed over the feud entirely, skipping straight to the part where Maddy licks her wounds and moves on. At last, Maddy had found out about Cassie and Nate, a reveal that promised to pave the way for biggest fight East Highland had ever seen. ![]() Ī week ago, the nation settled in to watch the Rams battle the Bengals in the Super Bowl, but over on HBO, Euphoria fans gathered to watch a showdown of a different nature: Maddy vs. ![]() This post contains spoilers for Euphoria. ![]()
