WARNING: This article contains spoilers that some readers may wish to avoid
Since before the pilot aired, HBO’s new teen drama Euphoria has garnered much controversy. While many have praised the show’s honest approach to issues drug use, sexual identity and other facets of the Gen-Z zeitgeist, others have deemed it as marketing “graphic adult content” toward teenagers.
On Euphoria, the show’s main character, a recovering drug addict named Rue Bennett (Zendaya Coleman) quickly befriends a trans girl named Jules Vaughn (Hunter Schafer) when she moves to town. Rue and Jules have a deep connection and throughout the four episodes that have aired so far, it is heavily implied that Rue is in love with Jules.
With each episode that airs, fans have theorized that Rue has actually been dead the whole time and is narrating from beyond the grave. While many of the fans’ “Rue is dead” theories make sense, it also makes sense that Jules may actually be dead, and that Rue is narrating the events that lead to her death.
While the idea of any of the characters being dead is disheartening, below are four reasons why it is possible that Jules may actually see her demise by the season finale of Euphoria.
