Euphoria season 3 finale: Who lives and dies?

Euphoria season 3 trailer teases return of core cast

Warning: Major spoilers ahead

Well, that's it. Euphoria Sundays are officially over, and season 3 has come to a rather explosive close.

Fans have waited four years for season 3, and despite the absence of some much-loved faces including Barbie Ferreira's Kat, and Angus Cloud's Fez, the reviews for the newest episodes have generally been rather positive.

To recap, this season takes place five years after the events of season two, and the group have left high school.

Cassie's (Sydney Sweeney) OnlyFans career took off and subsequently flatlined when she landed a role on LA Nights, forcing her to delete her account. But, unfortunately for her, her new venture would prove unlucrative, after she gets dropped from the show, leaving her with no income at all, all while trying to pay Nate's debts.

Meanwhile, her new, yet estranged husband (played by Jacob Elordi) has seemingly been losing more fingers and toes every episode thanks to the aforementioned eye-watering sum of money he owes. That is, until things come to a head in episode seven, when he's buried underground by his debt collectors with nothing but a pipe to breathe out of - except, a rattlesnake gets to him before Cassie can, marking our first major death of the season.

Maddy (Alexa Demie) is taking her role as an adult model agent more seriously, even convincing Silver Slipper owner Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) to let her manage some of his best dancers, enlisting his help when she needs to recoup Nate's debt money for Cassie.

Not only that, but prior to the finale, she's pretty much the only thing standing between Alamo killing Rue (Zendaya), who also happens to be relaying information to the police about his operation, to keep herself out of jail; which Maddy appears to accidentally confess.
The finale episode, titled 'In God We Trust', ties up the stories of all the main cast - which, of course, means not everyone gets their happy ending.
