Euphoria Recap: Nate's Dad Is Out For Revenge
, we see that Cassie is utterly and completely afraid of Maddi, her best friend who has proven that she's not afraid to rough people up. Sleeping with Nate was her first mistake but it was apparently so good, Cassie can't help but want more. Her mom and Lexi are aware that Cassie is losing her mind but the girl won't open up about it. And in her frazzled state, she makes another huge mistake: She tells Cal that Fez was the one who put his son in the hospital.
And Lexi isn't perfect; she's ashamed to admit that she's a pushover who's afraid to speak up to people. We learn that the one time she decided to speak up was just before Rue overdosed. She told her best friend that she was going to tell her mom about the drugs but when Rue called her on her bluff, she backed down. Since then, she's vowed to speak up the next time something happened and Cassie's slip-up presented her with the opportunity to warn Fez.
But when she goes to the gas station, she loses her courage. It doesn't necessarily matter though, because Cal is already there, gun in his pocket and a smug look on his face. There's no gunfire and every one is okay, Cal just wanted to warn Fez that he knows he's responsible for Nate's hospitalization.
