Euphoria Season 3 Episode 5 Ends on a Shocking Cliffhanger That Could Change Everything

Season three of Euphoria is hitting its midpoint, and Sunday's episode (May 10) kept the chaos rolling with major developments for several characters.

The installment, titled "This Little Piggy," featured Nate's financial troubles opening up new opportunities for Cassie to pursue her own ambitions. But the real story came in the final moments, when the episode ended on a cliffhanger that has left viewers stunned.

Throughout the season, Rue has been working undercover with the DEA, tasked with helping authorities take down her former supplier Laurie and her current boss Alamo. The arrangement has put her in precarious situations, and things escalated significantly this week.

After Rue attempted to frame Magick, the move backfired when Magick convinced Alamo that Rue was actually an informant. While Rue was out with Maddy, Alamo sent her on a drive with two of his associates, G and Bishop. The men forced her to dig a hole in a remote location and buried her up to her neck in the ground.

Just as Alamo arrived on horseback wielding a mace, the screen went black.

The cliffhanger has intensified long-standing speculation among fans that Rue might not make it through the season. Adding to the mystery, episode six reportedly contains no scenes featuring Rue at all.

With only three episodes left before the May 31st finale, viewers are left wondering what happens next. The show is expected to conclude this season, making the stakes feel higher than ever.
