Nothing like a therapist to solve the narrative needs of a character. Easy script resource, especially in times of coronavirus, this episode reveals the mysteries of Jules and her difficulties in establishing a conventional relationship. But that mystery was the one that worked perfectly as a contrast to the character of Rue.
With a soundtrack that looks like a random Spotify playlist, where Zbigniew Preisner and Rosalía also have a place, the episode explains many things about Jules (an excellent interpretation of Hunter Schafer), perhaps too many things, trying to soften the vision that the character had offered at the end of the first season. A way to explain, according to Sam Levinson, the character, to justify her actions and to show another profile of a depressed "millennial" that could perfectly overshadow the main character if it were developed further in the second season (something that probably will not allow to do).
It is clear that "Euphoria" has a powerful visual style, elaborate and certainly "beautiful" aesthetically, but sometimes it falls into a certain superficiality. In this episode, the aesthetic is between the visual imagination of Gaspar Noé and the crudeness of Adrian Lyne's perfume advertisement. Without a doubt, it is an episode that reconciles the character with the followers of the show, but at the same time squanders the opportunity to build a bridge between the first and second seasons.
