Before Euphoria hosted the marriage of the yr for Cassie and Nate, Hunter Schafer returned with a graphic nude scene — and one other character revealed they were a virgin.
In the course of the Sunday, April 26, episode of the hit HBO series, a flashback sequence showed Jules in art school before her roommate suggested she try occurring dates with wealthy men for money. That became Jules dropping out of faculty due to how her lifestyle got funded — specifically by one client who became her only sugar daddy.
A specifically racy scene showed Jules stripping down before her client wrapped her up in cellophane. Elsewhere within the episode, Jules reunited with Cal (Eric Dane), where they reflected on their history. Cal updated Jules on what happened after his arrest, which included him taking a plea deal and having to register as a sex offender.
Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate’s (Jacob Elordi) wedding served as a reunion for a lot of — but not Rue (Zendaya) who was called away for business. She took a call within the automotive from Fez (Angus Cloud) before stopping at Laurie’s house. Back at the marriage, Lexi (Maude Apatow) made a comment to Jules that exposed she’s a virgin.
Jules’ return to the show comes after Sweeney, 28, stripped down in a past episode. Cassie’s evolution into creating explicit content for subscribers featured her filming photo shoots that ranged from her topless while licking ice cream to a skin-tight shirt that had the design of the American flag to her pretending to be an adult baby.
“Cassie was precisely the form of girl you’d dream of signing. Beautiful — but directionless,” Rue said in a voiceover. “So desperate for attention that she was willing to humiliate herself.”
Before Euphoria returned for season 3 earlier this month, Sweeney spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about her evolving relationship together with her body — and the way it inspired her lingerie brand, Syrn.
“I grew up with boobs. I used to be wearing a 32DD in sixth grade, and I never felt confident,” Sweeney told Us. “I never had anything I felt good in, and I just desired to hide. It wasn’t until [I played] Cassie in Euphoria that I began realizing it’s actually powerful to be confident; our bodies are incredible. We should always embrace [them] and feel really good in our skin.”
Sydney Sweeney has been candid about what goes into stripping down for nude scenes in Euphoria and other projects. After Euphoria premiered in 2019, Sweeney, who plays Cassie, opened up in regards to the downsides of being naked on screen. “I don’t think as many individuals took me seriously in Euphoria because I took my shirt off,” […]
Sweeney recalled facing challenges with the road.
“I’d all the time be like, ‘Oh, this fit doesn’t work,’” she says. “‘I don’t have the support I need. The straps are digging into my shoulders or it’s form of itchy and riding up,’” she explained. “I began a complete Pinterest board of 1000’s of photos of inspiration, and I [thought], ‘I should actually do that.’ And we put it together.”
She continued: “That’s form of why I wanted to construct all these different worlds,” she explains, “So [fans] could truthfully select what they desired to be [at] the beginning of the day or the top of the day.”
Euphoria airs on HBO Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
