Lexi Euphoria

WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Euphoria Season 2, Episode 7, "The Theater and Its Double," now streaming on HBO Max.

Now that Kat is out of the picture, and Ethan has rebounded in the most unexpected way possible, he's bound to get the senior superlative for "Most Likely To Be on Broadway." Ethan gets a standing ovation for his performance, putting him on top of the Euphoria food chain as one of the more likable characters of the series with Lexi. Even if some of the muses represented in the play didn't approve of their dirty laundry being aired to the entire school, they all grow to appreciate the play when Ethan immediately puts on his stellar performance, mocking Nate and the idea of forced masculinity in sports. Nate watches in anger and looks as though he's on the verge of violence, swatting away Cassie's support and leaving the play in a fit of rage. But his show-stopping scene that makes him the next Troy Bolton of musicals, is his portrayal as Nate Jacobs in a choreographed sequence to "Holding Out For a Hero." As Kat's story becomes progressively smaller in Season 2 of Euphoria, Ethan is dragged down with her as a plot device to her story. Lexi's play finally makes its debut at East Highland High School, and while she may be the star of the show, Ethan is the underdog that holds the production together.
