The third season of Euphoria is coming to an end — but viewers are still left confused by several story lines including Alamo and Maddy’s relationship and Angel’s disappearance.
Based on the Israeli series of the same name, Euphoria follows troubled high school student Rue (Zendaya) as she struggles to remain sober after rehab. The series also explores topics including mental illness, toxic relationships, sexuality and more. After its premiere in 2019, the show’s ensemble cast, which includes Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Maude Apatow, Colman Domingo quickly skyrocketed to fame.
The HBO series was quickly renewed for a second season, but it took nearly three years for the episodes to air, with the network ordering two individual specials about the aftermath of Rue and Jules’ (Schafer) breakup in the meantime.
Euphoria’s third season was originally set to air on HBO in 2025 before it faced several delays, including creator Sam Levinson’s commitment to his short-lived series The Idol. The delay was extended during the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which took place in late 2023.
Since season 2 concluded, the cast went through a loss when Angus Cloud died at age 25 in July 2023 following an accidental overdose. The show addressed the fate of his character, Fezco, while Eric Dane‘s Cal made an appearance in two episodes after the actor’s death following a battle with ALS. He was 53.

Angel’s Disappearance

Priscilla Delgado was introduced as Angel, an exotic dancer at the Silver Slippers strip club. She relapsed on drugs after her friend disappeared — who viewers saw die on screen. Angel ultimately spiraled and Rue was told to take her to rehab but the scene felt ominous as fans questioned if the character would ever be seen again.
After Alamo’s safe was robbed, Laurie’s people kept some of the stuff they found. Rue got a glimpse when she saw IDs — including Angel’s — in there. While some audience members thought that meant Angel died, others pointed out the obvious conclusion that Angel was human trafficked by Alamo.
Euphoria fans have watched the cast change on and off screen since the series first debuted.

Alamo and Maddy’s Relationship
Maddy (Demie) and Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) formed a bond that turned sinister when she had to ask for money when Cassie (Sweeney) found out that Nate (Elordi) only had 72 hours to live.
A scene then showed Alamo making Maddy put on a bathing suit to get in the hot tub with him. He ultimately agreed to help Maddy get the $1 million needed to save Nate and the scene cut off. Viewers, meanwhile, wondered if the scene hinted at Maddy having to sleep with Alamo to secure the deal but that wasn’t clarified.
The DEI of It All
While Rue working as a double agent made sense for the most part, there have been some questions about how the government officials were able to listen in on Laurie and Alamo’s plans when she wasn’t around. Viewers have questioned whether the authorities planted wires without Rue or if she was involved — but it wasn’t shown.
