Euphoria<\/em> went out with a bang after the season 3 finale killed off an important primary character halfway into the episode.<\/p>\n In the course of the Sunday, May 31, episode of the hit HBO series, Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje<\/strong>) killed Rue (Zendaya<\/strong>) after he discovered that she was working undercover to take him down. He gave her pain killers that were laced with fentanyl \u2014 and he or she ultimately overdosed halfway into the episode.<\/p>\n Ali (Colman Domingo)<\/strong> found Rue dead on his couch and the remaining of the episode followed his mission to get revenge on Alamo. The ultimate episode of the show was Ali on the farm that Rue hung out at within the season 3 premiere where he said grace on the dinner table in her honor.<\/p>\n While Rue\u2019s death may come as a shock to some, other fans were prepared for Zendaya\u2019s arc to get wrapped up within the presumed series finale. The actress was previously asked by Drew Barrymore in April whether the show was over for good after season 3.<\/p>\n \u201cI believe so, yeah,\u201d she said on Barrymore\u2019s eponymous talk show. \u201cThat closure is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n Creator Sam Levinson<\/strong>, meanwhile, was more vague.<\/p>\n \u201c[I write] every season prefer it\u2019s the last season,\u201d he told Variety in April. \u201c[I have] no plans [for season 4].\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI would like to complete this as strong as I can. I\u2019m cutting [episodes] 7 and eight still. I\u2019m putting some ending touches. I just need to deliver a f***ing slam dunk season.\u201d<\/p>\n Rue wasn\u2019t the one major casualty within the show\u2019s third season. Jacob Elordi<\/strong>\u2018s character, Nate, also suffered a grim fate when he was killed in a box in the bottom from a rattlesnake bite.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was a cool strategy to go. Nate was someone who has made so many mistakes and made so many dark selections,\u201d Elordi explained in a segment that aired after the May 24 episode. \u201cIt\u2019s cool to see all of it come to what it\u2019s come to.\u201d<\/p>\n Elordi recalled having to film in a coffin, adding, \u201cMy shoulders were touching the side they usually couldn\u2019t move my arms. Then they might drill the lid on it and it will get dark. \u2029It was very nice, actually. It was quite peaceful in there.\u201d<\/p>\n The stunt team, meanwhile, stressed how essential it was to make sure that the actor had oxygen. They praised Elordi for agreeing to spend \u201cminimal time within the coffin.\u201d Levinson, for his part, said he \u201cdesired to shoot it with an actual snake\u201d so a rattlesnake and a boa constrictor were each featured on screen.<\/p>\n \u201cSnakes were rattling, which was really alarming when you find yourself locked in a box,\u201d Elordi noted. \u201cThat they had a boa constrictor that they put a fake rattler on the tip of it.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cHe was super cute. He was really cuddly. So he form of just sidled up next to me and it was nice. But he was really sleepy. He was a sleepy snake. I needed to form of nudge him to get him to come back up. And that was it.\u201d<\/p>\n At the tip of the segment, Elordi reflected on his time playing Nate.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\")
