Zendaya (Dune, Spider-Man: No Way Home) returns as Rue Bennett for the final chapter of her turbulent journey. After escaping captivity and violence, Rue finds herself caught in the fallout of Laurie and Alamo's criminal empire, leading to one of the most devastating twists in the series. The finale delivers heartbreaking emotional weight as Rue's struggle with addiction reaches its ultimate conclusion, while the DEA closes in on the drug operation that has haunted the season. The episode's most powerful moments center on grief, redemption, and the lasting impact Rue leaves on the people around her. Meanwhile, Colman Domingo (Rustin, Fear the Walking Dead) as Ali takes center stage in one of the episode's most memorable arcs. Devastated by tragedy, Ali confronts the forces responsible and delivers a powerful statement on addiction, accountability, and the systems that enable destruction. Elsewhere, Hunter Schafer (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Cuckoo) as Jules Vaughn processes her loss through art, while Sydney Sweeney (Anyone But You, The White Lotus) as Cassie Howard and Alexa Demie (Mid90s, Waves) as Maddy Perez attempt to reinvent themselves in the aftermath of the season's chaos. Maude Apatow (Hollywood, Knocked Up) as Lexi Howard also faces decisions about her future as the story comes to a close. Filled with emotional farewells, shocking confrontations, and poignant reflections on faith, addiction, forgiveness, and legacy, "In God We Trust" serves as a powerful and unforgettable conclusion to one of HBO's most talked-about series. #Euphoria #EuphoriaSeason3 #Zendaya #ColmanDomingo #SydneySweeney #EphoriaFinale #TVReaction #ReelRejects #react #reaction #reacting #moviereaction #movie #firsttimewatchingmoviereaction #firsttimewatch #firsttimewatching #HBO #HboMax - Euphoria Season 3, Episode 6 Reaction: https://youtu.be/EiT1faLuPao - Euphoria Season 3 Episode 5 Reaction https://youtu.be/0VzzK9vdXZw - EUPHORIA Season 3, Episode 4 Reaction: https://youtu.be/iqqRVv_CrC8 - EUPHORIA Season 3, Episode 3 Reaction: https://youtu.be/tfshDXtWCSM - EUPHORIA Season 3, Episode 2 Reaction: https://youtu.be/c79bsJlis6Y - EUPHORIA Season 3, Episode 1 Reaction: https://youtu.be/pUYI-xj5N5M Follow *Tara Erickson* https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson 0:00 Checking in! 1:24 ADAM AND EVE 2:22 Euphoria 3x8 Reaction 54:17 Euphoria Series Finale Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

Ali calling rue his daughter at the end and seeing her spirit at the table was so damn beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time😢

You can tell that Rue's death was directly influenced by Angus Cloud's death in real life. Rue probably would've been written to survive otherwise, but the idea of turning her death into a PSA about the fent crisis in America is strong and real, and seeing Ali realize he needs to take it out at the source, and then successfully doing so, hit hard.

Colman Domingo is one of the greatest actors of our generation. I love how this was basically a showcase for him as well. He's having a stellar year playing someone evil in Michael, someone compassionate in Euphoria, someone with wonder in Disclosure Day, and also someone hilarious in The Four Seasons (which I think y'all should react to!).

Rue's true memory gets to live on in that family. The good memory, untainted, the way it was supposed to be before drugs. Heartbreaking.

46:30 So basically when Bishop told Rue the story about the python ignoring the rats because it was looking for bigger prey he straight up said he knew she was the rat but he was watching Alamo. Up until the last episode it seemed like Rue was the rat and Alamo was the python but it turns out the real yellow snake was Bishop himself. His name literally means bishop. And that scene in the car with Maddy where he says he likes surprising people and she says human mercy would actually surprise her well he ended up showing her mercy and indirectly Ali too so I guess he really did surprise her after all. Quick update: honestly you get way more meaning and depth when you watch season 3 through a biblical lens. Take Nate - he quotes scripture earlier but ends up buried alive by a snake, classic Old Testament justice. Then Faye - she betrays Rue for nothing, screams to wake Wayne, that's literally Judas handing over Jesus for thirty silver coins but here she gets zero. And Alamo - first episode, green apple, asks Rue if God believes in her, that's the serpent in Eden making her question everything. Once you see it, it all makes sense.

I 100% knew that Rue would expire at the end of this season, however, the actual event has hit me way harder than I expected. Every time I think I'm fine, I fresh batch of tears starts flowing. Rue's dream/death sequence was so well shot. The motion, the colors, the lighting, all the clues that it wasn't reality even before the reveal...perfection.
