Later on, a week before Cassie's fifteenth birthday, Gus called Cassie to let him into the house one last time, collecting spoons and dishes from the house before disappearing entirely.Īfterwards, Cassie started and ended relationships with multiple guys, every one of which would try to coerce her into taking nudes or filming sex tapes with them. During and after his stay at the ICU, Cassie constantly attended to him and texted him from school however, he ultimately stopped responding as he did before. He becomes addicted to painkillers prescribed to him during his recovery. One night, Gus crashed into a truck while driving home from work inebriated. Afterwards, Cassie was told by a classmate that Gus left Suze because she cheated on him though initially angry, she came to realize that her parents were both flawed and better apart.Īlthough Suze let him visit their daughters on weekends, Gus started spacing out his visits and eventually stopped visiting entirely. The night before she started ninth grade, Cassie's parents had an intense argument which led to their separation.
Though they both loved Cassie, Suze and Gus constantly fought with one another, partially due to his constant flirting with other women and her behavior while drunk.
Upon entering puberty, Cassie formed a close bond with Suze, who provided her with support and love.
When she was younger, Cassie was motivated by her father to pursue professional ice skating however, Gus stopped encouraging her due to being unable to pay for the lessons. The work is done for you it says little about the character as a person other than their desire for control.Cassie was born on Januto Gus and Suze Howard and grew up alongside her sister, Lexi Howard. While it is a signifier of a queen bee, it’s also the simplest way to look put together. When Cassie and Nate walk hand in hand down the hallway-Cassie dressed in a pink crop top and skirt, paired with dramatic eye makeup- Maddy sneers, “Well she certainly looks the part.” But the symbolism of the sets goes further than a visual gag. (She’s grown up but hasn’t totally abandoned her attention to detail.) “She has seen a lot in her short amount of time, so she’s jaded and is imagining herself in the next chapter of her life and is even fantasizing about what it’s going to be like to be out of school and have more freedom,” Bivens says.Ĭassie dressing like Maddy is a joke in the show as well. Her first outfit of the season is a cutout black dress and gloves her last is a green unitard with coordinating eyeliner and nails. This season Maddy mostly ditched her sets in favor of more sophisticated noughties styling-a little more adventurous and high fashion. I can play the fucking villain.” In her perfect little outfit, she’s totally lost the plot. Well, if that makes me a villain, then so fucking be it. As the crowd boos Cassie, she gets quiet again for a second. The dejectedness fades to anger, and Cassie comes back in, clapping for Lexi she proceeds to climb onstage, berating her sister in front of the rapt audience. He dumps Cassie in the hallway, leaving her to walk back to the theater in her skintight baby blue skirt, coordinating ruffled scoop-neck crop top, and heels. Most of the clique is surprisingly cool with having their dirty laundry aired in this way-except for Cassie ( Sydney Sweeney) and her love interest, Nate (Jacob Elordi), who storms out after his stand-in dances to “Holding Out for a Hero” in front of phallically arranged gym equipment. Beautiful Cassie’s bystander, bookworm sister (Maude Apatow) has created a piece of theater based on the lives of their peers. The premise of the final two episodes of Euphoria season two has been exactly that.
To be fair to Cassie Howard, if I had a sister who wrote a play about me and performed it in front of the entire school, I would probably want to interrupt the play to scream at her as well.
