The episode’s promise, however, never materializes, as Rue finds a way to further distance herself from her support, seemingly pushing away Jules for good, de-friending Elliot, betraying Fez, Gia, and Lexi. With Rue now alone, episode 5 represents a desperate attempt by everyone in her life-including her schoolmates-to intervene, to make Rue see the damage she has caused, to make her seek rehab once more. The episode ended with Rue alone in her room doing oxycontin and having a vision in which she was reunited with her dead father. Elliot, who feels he has enabled Rue’s drug usage, then told Jules that Rue had relapsed. Last episode, she cut herself off from Jules after she expressed concern over Rue’s drinking. Two episodes ago she brought up Ali’s abusive past, threatening to sever her connection to him as sponsor. (Or, rather, at the end of last season.) Since relapsing, Rue has been slowly alienating herself from her support group.
In the general arc of the season so far, episode 5 punctuates a pattern of self-isolation that began with Rue’s relapse early in the season. Episode 5, however, runs as a sobering, no-frills withdrawal, an episode which never leaves Rue’s side and makes only the occasional meta textual nod in the form of Rue turning to the camera before robbing a house.

The episode before referenced itself-and HBO and the fact that the audience was watching a television series for entertainment. Last episode opened on an extended montage that referenced both Botticelli and James Cameron (the same?). We’ll be the first to say: Euphoria often skeeters into the bombastic.
