Angus Cloud made a surprise return in the season three finale of Euphoria.
The late actor, who played Fezco in the first two seasons, appeared through flashback sequences in the final episode of the season, which debuted Sunday night (May 31).
In the season premiere, it was revealed that his character was in prison, and in the finale, it was shared that was in for murder, but he had escaped.
In a previous episode, Rue (Zendaya) had a phone call with Fez where he told her about his plans to escape, which he apparently executed in the finale, as there was news coverage of a prisoner’s escape.
Rue was surprised that his plan had worked.
During the finale, after Rue learns of his escape, she tells Ali, “I have to go get him. I promised him that if he ever got out, I would go pick him up. I have to go.”
She then leaves to go find him and on her drive, she goes by the store he owned, where we see flashbacks of Angus as Fez while Rue remembers him. Rue then ends up at her home, which was blocked off by police so she had to sneak around to go to her own house.
She then finds her mother at home reading a bible, which all ends up being a hallucination.
In a behind-the-scenes video, which aired at the end of the episode, creator Sam Levinson talks about honoring Angus, who passed away in 2023 from an accidental overdose, through this season’s storyline.
“This is a real show about a real problem that we have in this country, and that’s addiction,” Sam says. “People relapse. They fuck up. They’re not ready to get clean. And they weren’t dying like they are now with the influx of fentanyl into this country.”
“I can say with absolute certainty that if I was going through what I went through when I was younger now, I wouldn’t be here either, so… There’s no reason to sugarcoat it,” he continued. “I wanted to tell the story for Angus and for people who weren’t granted a second chance.”
If you missed it, another main character died in the finale.
