Here’s where every major ‘Euphoria’ character ended up on the series finale

Rue dies from an accidental overdose.

Rue struggled with opioid abuse since the death of her father when she was a teenager. Her character arc on “Euphoria” was marked by addiction, relapse, and striving for redemption.

Rue also struggled with suicidal ideation, but the cruel irony is that she has a plan for freedom and survival when she dies in the series finale. She collaborated with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to bring down the drug kingpin Laurie (Martha Kelly), and believed she had regained the trust of her new employer, Alamo Brown (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), a strip-club owner and notorious crime lord.

However, Alamo caught wind that Rue had tipped off the DEA. He gave her Percocet, intentionally laced with fentanyl, to kill her as payback.

As Rue lay dying, she hallucinated happier times with her friend Fezco (Angus Cloud) and her ex-girlfriend Jules (Hunter Schafer), and a reunion with her mom that would never come to pass.

“In the end, I wanted to tell an honest story about addiction,” creator and showrunner Sam Levinson said. “The honest ending is people like Rue don’t make it.”

Jules continues to paint and live as a sugar baby.

In her final scene, Jules is still living in the fancy apartment owned by her boyfriend-slash-sugar daddy. She paints a tribute to Rue, her ex-girlfriend and former best friend.

In a behind-the-scenes clip, Schafer said the painting was inspired by Rue’s dreamscape scenes and the warm sensation induced by opiates.

Nate is still dead.

Nate dies in the seventh episode of season three, bitten by a rattlesnake while buried alive in a wooden coffin. No, really.

He doesn’t appear in the series finale.

Cassie continues to make OnlyFans content after her husband’s death.

In a final scene between Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and her sister, Lexi (Maude Apatow), we learn that Cassie is telling people her husband disappeared. Friends and family assume that he ran away to evade his debts. Only Cassie and Maddy (Alexa Demie) know that Nate is actually dead.

The scene between the sisters is tragic. They lack the emotional connection necessary to support each other through their losses; Lexi is reeling from the death of Rue, her best friend since childhood, and Cassie is an abandoned newlywed, hustling to recover from the financial ruin Nate left her in.

The final shot of Cassie shows her sitting in her empty bedroom, illuminated by a ring light, with a single tear rolling down her face.

Lexi will probably keep working as a Hollywood screenwriter.

Lexi tells Cassie that she harbors a lot of guilt over Rue’s death. She says she’s been reading the Bible that Rue left at her apartment, and she believes the core message is to keep living through tragedy and trauma.

Cassie asks Lexi to help with her content creation as an in-house “storyteller,” but Lexi declines.

Maddy is still acting as Cassie’s manager.

At the end of the show, Maddy seems to be living in Cassie’s mansion, helping her make content. Cassie also tells Lexi they use the empty rooms to stage content for other girls, and then they take a cut of the girls’ profits.

Maddy owes Alamo after she asked for his help in the penultimate episode. Nate had been kidnapped, and Cassie was being extorted for $1 million to save him; Maddy asked Alamo for a loan, but instead, he shot and killed the man whom Nate owed money to.

Alamo has a self-admitted soft spot for Maddy, but he still won’t let her off the hook for the $1 million. She and Cassie labor to pay him back in installments, with Maddy delivering wads of cash to his strip club — that is, until Alamo himself is shot and killed in front of her. His death seems to release Maddy from her debt.

Levinson told The Hollywood Reporter that he wanted fans of Maddy to “feel like she is finally free.”

Alamo is murdered by Ali as revenge for Rue.

Ali Muhammad (Colman Domingo) begins spiraling after he finds Rue dead on his sofa.

Ali met Rue at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting and worked hard to keep her clean. Although his efforts never quite stuck, he loved Rue and treated her like a daughter.

He decides to renounce Islam and quit NA. In his final meeting, he says that, rather than sponsoring young addicts, he wants to find a more effective way to make the world a better place … which apparently involves murdering drug dealers. He visits Alamo’s strip club, the Silver Slipper, and shoots him in a Western-style standoff.

Ali visits a Christian family in Texas, who previously helped Rue.

In the season three premiere, Rue stays with a family in Texas after returning from a drug run in Mexico. She later tells Ali they were the happiest, most peaceful people she’d ever met.

After killing Alamo, Ali travels to Texas to visit the family. He tells them his name is Martin McQueen and that his daughter is “in a better place.” They all sit down for dinner together, and Ali leads the family in prayer, asking the Lord to bless Rue’s memory.

“When we were growing up, my brother Rick was always searching for religion. I went to a mosque with my brother because he was curious about different religions and philosophies. I took a lot of that to Ali,” Domingo told Variety. “All these ideas about how to be in the world, about trying to be a good person in service to humanity. I think it takes a curious heart, and Ali has that curious heart. He’s searching.”
