After four years, Euphoria<\/em> is back to let fans in on what its collection of chaotic characters has been up to.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For those unaware, the second season of the hit HBO show ended back in 2022, leaving viewers unsure of the fate of the dynamic cast of troublemakers. The third season, which premiered on Sunday, April 12, saw most of the principal cast return to continue their character\u2019s stories, which pick up five years in the future and long after graduation. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n No longer in high school, the characters are attempting to carve out their paths in adult life, separating them from each other (for the time being, at least) as they trek around the world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In case you missed the premiere and were hoping for a quick catch-up, here\u2019s where all the characters were to start the new season!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first episode of Season 3 began with Rue (Zendaya) trekking around Mexico in a beat-up Jeep with a mysterious duffel bag in the back. \u201cA lot of people ask what I’ve been up to since high school,\u201d she opined to start the story. \u201cHonestly? Nothing good.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And whew, buddy, was that downplaying her situation, especially once her Jeep got stuck as she attempted to drive over the border wall. This caused her to seek help from a nearby family before hitching a ride on a Greyhound bus. Before long, she ran into Laurie (Martha Kelly) and had to face the debt she owes (a minimum of $100,000) from last season. \u201cAnd that is how I became a drug mule,\u201d Rue declared, setting up her path for the rest of the season. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This also explained her location, as she\u2019s been tasked with moving the illegal substances across the Mexican border by Laurie. And when Rue wasn\u2019t working for Laurie, she drove for Uber, which was how she was able to visit the other characters. Rue ended the episode delivering a bag of substances to a party, where she crossed paths with Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) for the first time\u2014and let\u2019s just say things got heated quickly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n During her narration, Rue revealed that she sometimes crashed on Lexi\u2019s (Maude Apatow) couch in Los Angeles. This was where we also learned that Fezco (Angus Cloud, who passed away in 2023) had been sentenced to 30 years in prison and was currently serving his sentence.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For work, Lexi had continued cultivating her passion for writing, which fans saw last season via her dramatic school play. In the present, she worked as an assistant on a nighttime soap opera in Hollywood, fetching drinks and driving her boss around the set while she sat in on writers\u2019 room meetings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rue also noted through the narration that Lexi\u2019s sister, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney), was living in \u201csome right-wing suburban bubble.\u201d After high school, Cassie got engaged to Nate (Jacob Elordi), and the two lived in a massive mansion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cassie was actively trying to go viral on TikTok with her salacious posts. Dressed in a corseted ensemble, she acted like a puppy dog as she was filmed around the estate by their housekeeper. She was also in the middle of planning her wedding with Nate, with the voiceover noting that \u201ctheir wedding was around the corner, and Cassie was dreaming big.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Later in the episode, Cassie chatted with a friend while lounging by the pool, discussing her potential plan to use OnlyFans to make some extra money to pay for what she wanted for the wedding, since Nate had been \u201cnickel and dimming\u201d her.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nate arrived home after work to see what Cassie was up to, and was clearly frustrated with his bride-to-be. Since we last saw him, Nate had taken over his father, Cal\u2019s (Eric Dane, who passed away earlier this year), real estate development business, but was having difficulties expanding for several reasons, including the Southern California location and his business ideas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He\u2019s also been stressed around Cassie\u2019s aforementioned spending on the wedding, as she was looking to get $50,000 worth of floral arrangements. Toward the end of the episode, the couple sat down for a candlelit dinner, where Cassie approached Nate about her aforementioned idea of starting an OnlyFans account. While Nate laughed off the comment at first, his answer was \u201cabsolutely not.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The two argued as Nate told Cassie he was \u201ctreading water\u201d at work, but she stood firm on her flowers. Ultimately, Nate appeared to give in, asking, \u201cWhat kind of pictures are we talking about?\u201d while referring to her potential account, to which she simply responded, \u201cPretty ones.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like Lexi, Maddy (Alexa Demie) was also finding her footing in Hollywood as an assistant to a talent manager, with the narration noting that her job \u201cappeared more glamorous than it was,\u201d adding that \u201cmost days, she was stuck behind a desk.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Still, she had cultivated \u201cgood relationships with the talent\u201d and was making \u201cgood money\u201d\u2014at least, she was making \u201cgood money\u201d for her boss. Also, the actor her boss managed just so happened to work on the same show Lexi worked on, causing Maddy and Lexi to cross paths.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally, viewers learned that Jules (Hunter Schafer) was living as a \u201csugar baby\u201d while attending art school. This was mentioned in passing, as the character didn\u2019t appear in the premiere episode (though she\u2019s set to appear in future episodes this season).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The next episode of\u00a0Euphoria<\/em>\u00a0will air on HBO and be available to stream on HBO Max this Sunday, April 19, at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes will release weekly through the series finale on Sunday, May 31.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhat happened to the Euphoria<\/em> characters after high school?<\/h2>\n
