Bottling up her pain only makes her situation worse, so figuring out a way to transfer it into something productive could help her immensely. Her sobriety while experiencing the play allows her to come to the realization that she wants to get where Lexi is in her own personal growth. Trust, if she was still using her reaction to the play would be polar opposite. Euphoria - Photograph by Eddy Chen/HBOīeing sober plays a major factor in Rue relating with Lexi and understanding her pain as well, rather than flipping her lid and losing it as Cassie does. Doing so allows Rue to see her situation differently and even love herself a bit more after seeing what she’s been through from an outside perspective. She’s being honest and open about the amount of trauma most of them have endured. Rue understands that Lexi isn’t attacking her by portraying past events and relaying her feelings. Even with airing out everyone’s dirty laundry in her play, Rue never gets upset because she can see where Lexi is coming from. Lexi and Rue’s friendship is an excellent example of needing to separate for individual growth and then reconnecting to thrive with one another. That’s where Rue and Lexi are at in their relationship. But if the connection built between the two is strong enough, it never entirely fades away. It can be easy to fall out of touch with friends and family without even realizing it when that happens. All that matters is getting over the pain. Sometimes life can be so overwhelming that people begin to forget about the important things and people in their life. There are few relatable, or decent, friendships on Euphoria, but Lexi and Rue’s is arguably the best. It’s even more bittersweet that Rue is the one to start the chant for her friend. It’s nice to see Lexi be appreciated and have her name chanted throughout the crowd, especially after her nasty back-and-forth with Cassie. Lexi is very much the background friend that worries about everyone around her but rarely has anyone think about her. There’s little to celebrate on “All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name,” but Lexi’s play having a two-episode arc is one of them. But it doesn’t make it any less dissatisfying.
With so much jampacked into an eight-episode season, it’s not a surprise that many storylines fall flat and don’t get the conclusion they deserve. There’s a lot happening in the season 2 finale of Euphoria, but at the same time, not enough as some plotlines fall right through the cracks. Euphoria Season 2 Episode 8, “All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name,” is an okay season finale to an otherwise lackluster season.
