![]() “It’s consequences to your actions, you know?” says Cloud of the outcome. Watching him at that moment shows a Fez torn between who he is and who he wants to become. The true tragedy for the #Fexi audience is seeing Fez, dressed in his best suit, putting down the bouquet of roses designated for Lexi and never making it out the door. “It’s like cute and innocent, and hope and light in a dark situation and world,” he says, adding, “I think it’s dope” about the fandom. The sweet romance between Fez and Lexi stands out amid the Euphoria ensemble, with most of the other relationships being anything but PG-rated, which is why Cloud understands the appeal. I think he just hoped to have a classy player night, and congratulate Lexi on her accomplishments, give her flowers and hand her a note, and be nice and sweet.” “I don’t think he’s really at that time in his life for those type of romantic relationships, so it’s all pretty new to him. “I’m sure it would have meant a lot to him,” says Cloud, imagining how Fez would have reacted if he had made it to the play. Lexi (Maude Apatow) dedicates her play, Our Life, to Fez, who is missing in action. ![]() Loudest of all, perhaps, will be the #Fexi fandom - the devoted legion of viewers who have been shipping Fez and Lexi all season long, from their New Year’s Eve party meet-cute to their “Stand by Me” rendition to their star-crossed finale. It certainly satisfies Euphoria viewers and critics alike that Fez will be back for season three. “I think they wanted it to be as dramatic as possible.” He then adds with a laugh, “You better tell it was Javon who snitched.” ![]() When asked about the swap, Cloud keeps things close to the chest but confirms he was informed about the change. One of the versions, according to Walton, had Fez dying in the raid. But the finale script kept changing, and we “didn’t get the script until we were filming,” he says. Typically, he says the cast will get two or three scripts at a time. He’s going to figure out how to make the best of situations.”Ĭloud wasn’t aware of Fez’s full trajectory going into season two. Though Cloud defers to Levinson when asked about what might be in store for the already ordered season three, he holds out hope for Fez, despite the circumstances: “Everyone can change, you know? He’s just a survivor. Presuming Fez survives his wounds, he faces drug and possible murder charges. When asked about the impact Ashtray’s death will have on Fez, Cloud notes, “It’s hard to say, but I think he’s going to have some time to sit and think on it.” Moments earlier, Rue, in voiceover, spoke about the impact watching her father die had on her, leading to years of addiction and self-destructive behavior. “That was probably the person he cared for most in the world,” says Cloud of Ashtray. Instead, the audience sees Fez being led away in handcuffs, stepping over a now blood-stained note that he had intended to give Lexi (Maude Apatow) at her high school play, culminating their blossoming romance.Īshtray (Javon Walton), locking himself in the bathroom, armed, anticipating the raid. And though viewers hear the gunshot and see Fez’s anguished face, Euphoria doesn’t explicitly show Ashtray’s death. This is scary.’ Because it looks real.”įez gets shot in the stomach in the crossfire before watching one of the red dots land on Ashtray’s forehead. Even when the camera cut, sometimes I would turn around, and they’re still pointing the guns at me, and I’m like, ‘Oh shit. “It was pretty intense in there,” says Cloud of filming the raid over three 12-hour days with ex-cops playing the SWAT team roles. Instead, he locks himself in the bathroom and initiates a shootout. Ashtray, who moments earlier killed Custer for working with the police to take the brothers down over Ashtray murdering their supplier, refuses to surrender. A betrayal by Custer (Tyler Chase) leads to a SWAT team raid on Fez and adoptive younger brother Ashtray’s (Javon Walton) home. The irony of Levinson’s initial trajectory for Cloud is that Fezco once again finds himself narrowly escaping a tragic fate in the season two finale. “He just appreciated what I did, so he kept me going,” says Cloud of Levinson elevating his role. ![]() Jacob Elordi on Why the 'Euphoria' Season Two Finale Is Not a Freeing Moment for Nate Jacobs
