Euphoria Season 3 on HBO wrapped up with a nerve-wracking finale this Sunday. From Rue's tragic end to Ali's revenge to a bittersweet tribute to Angus Cloud, the finale kept the viewers hooked to their screens. The penultimate episode ended on a tragic note with Nate's sudden death due to a rattlesnake bite.

The finale began with Rue in serious trouble after Faye betrayed her during a heist. Rue was serving as an informant for the DEA. Alamo was aware of her double game, and he decided to leave some Percocet tablets that were secretly laced with fentanyl for Rue. Rue stole them and went to Ali's house. Elsewhere, Maddy and Cassie were grieving over Nate's death.

Eventually, the viewers saw some flashback moments of Rue's early days. Before that, Rue learnt that Fez had escaped from the prison. This was followed by some heartwarming scenes of Rue, her mother, and even Fez. Soon, the viewers realised that those were Rue's hallucinations. In reality, Ali found out that Rue was dead. Later in the episode, Ali killed Alamo to seek revenge for Rue's death.

Here's a full cast list of Euphoria Season 3 Episode 8.
