Storm Reid Jokes About Euphoria Exit as HBO Series Concludes with Rue's Fatal Overdose

Storm Reid is having fun with her minimal screen time in the Euphoria finale.

The 22-year-old, who portrayed Rue's younger sister Gia Bennett during the show's first two seasons on HBO, sat out most of the third and final season, which wrapped Sunday night. Her presence in the concluding episode was reduced to a fleeting moment—a hallucination as Rue's consciousness faded.

The climactic installment delivered a devastating end for Zendaya's character. Rue succumbed to a fentanyl overdose after being deliberately given painkillers containing the lethal substance. The poisoning was orchestrated by Alamo Brown, her former employer, who sought revenge after discovering she had been cooperating with federal drug enforcement agents.

Nika King, who plays the Bennett family matriarch, managed a brief cameo in the same sequence. Storm's appearance, however, came only as part of Rue's final hallucination featuring loved ones.

Taking to TikTok, Storm posted a clip of herself in a recording studio working on music. "sorry rue I'm busy in the stu," she captioned the video.

The post drew reactions from viewers. One follower wrote, "it's fine, you weren't in her last 7 minutes," accompanied by crying emojis. Storm fired back with a witty response: "were you?"

The exchange showcased Reid's playful attitude toward her reduced role as the HBO series concluded its run.
