The Ending Of Euphoria Season 1 Explained

Sam Levinson's Euphoria is a boundary-breaking HBO series that has gripped audiences since its premiere in 2019. The ending of the season was as gripping as its start, but Levinson intentionally left many aspects of the characters' stories unanswered. Here is the ending of Euphoria explained. The heartbeat of Euphoria Season 1 was Rue and Jules' relationship, which tugged on every emotional chord. Viewers followed both characters working through their traumas while kindling a compelling romance. Jules, played by Hunter Schafer, unintentionally becomes the center of Rue's sobriety while also coming to terms with her own demons following a traumatic childhood. With the threats of conflicted villain Nate Jacobs looming over Jules, she begins to yearn for her old life in the city. In Euphoria's Season 1 finale, the winter formal brought the characters under one roof, where Rue tosses out the idea of running away to the city with Jules. While the pair leave the dance and head to the train station, Rue begins to second-guess her impulsive decision. Ultimately, Rue decides to let Jules go, choosing to stay behind and leaving viewers questioning if this is the end for the duo. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Schafer shared her point of view on the scene, describing the moment as the first time viewers see Rue making a decision with her sister and her mom in mind. That choice leaves the future of the pair unclear.
