Premise[]
Kat decides to try webcamming and has her first session. Jules starts falling for a boy online and asks Rue to help her take suggestive photos. Maddy finds something odd on Nate's phone. Cassie and McKay spend the weekend at his school and go to a party at the frat he's rushing. Rue is confronted about her lies at NA.
Plot[]
The episode begins with an introduction to Kat's past. Her childhood, weight gain and loss of her first boyfriend Daniel Dimarco act as the catalyst for what follows from there. We see her rise to the top of Tumblr, courtesy of her erotic fiction, before bringing us right back to the recently uploaded sex video. Determined to ride this wave of newfound internet fame, she dons a mask and twerks in the doorway, recording it for a porn site.
The episode then returns to Rue, who makes the decision to stay clean off drugs for a while. Not 60 days, as the rehab center would believe, but clean nonetheless. While she grows closer to Jules, her best friend starts falling in love via text with ShyGuy118...who happens to be Nate in real life. From here, Euphoria boasts a beautiful split-screen shot of their text conversation as Nate and Jules continue to fall deeper into conversation together.
They're not the only ones having text conversations either. Kat starts talking to Johnny_Unite_USA, a guy online who's willing to pay her for a Skype session. Unsure how bitcoin works, she heads off to ask Fez for advice on the matter.
Rue continues to feel conflicted over her feelings toward Jules, and on her way out her house, she steals some narcotics and throws away two weeks of rehab for a quick fix. However, she comes across a man named Ali Muhammad on her way home, who speaks some truths about being clean and lying, inspiring Rue to head home and spend time with her sister, Gia.
Meanwhile, Maddy prepares for her night with Nate and, after screwing around together, she checks Nate's phone while he's in the shower and comes across an abundance of pictures of other men's penises.
With renowned confidence following her Skype conversation with Johnny, Kat dons a new appearance and shows up at school a changed girl. While Kat turns heads left and right, Rue has a heart to heart with Jules, ending with Rue leaning forward and kissing her before running out of the room in shock.
Unable to deal with her feelings, Rue heads to Fez's for a fix but he refuses to give her any more drugs after the incident last week. Extremely frustrated, Rue calls Ali, finally ready to take a proper step forward and get clean.
