Watch new episodes of EuphoriaSundays at 9 p.m. Can he truly overcome what’s he mostly forced to do for a living? He has a difficult journey ahead to try and do that. But with each moral dilemma comes a new challenge for Fez, where he tries his best to be kind in less-than-kind circumstances. From the audience’s perspective, Fez is a hard character not to like. Overall, I think Fez is a good person, but given his circumstances, he ultimately won’t be viewed that way by characters in the show with different lives. But how much will that change going forward? No matter what happens, it’s pretty certain that the conflict between Nate and Fez isn’t just going away. She even pushed back on Cassie telling Cal what happened.
What will happen now that he’s assaulted Nate in front of a crowded room, especially now that Nate’s dad, Cal, knows? Lexi still seems to like Fez. While justified, Fez could face consequences for his actions. What will happen to Fez in Euphoria season 2? Although this time, Fez sought out the violence, even making the premeditated decision to have his brother start the car before he went up to Nate. At the start of the episode, Fez was taken aback when his brother committed an act of violence on two drug dealers. She can’t believe the man she was just talking to would do such a thing. Nate’s moral decisions are relatively easy but he never makes them, while Fez’s are difficult and he tries the best to do the right thing, while occasionally falling short in ways that can be morally gray.Īfter the one-sided skirmish between Fez and Nate gets broken up, Lexi looks at the drug dealer with utter shock. Nate terrorizes his friends and called the cops on Fez in order to get his house raided. Fez’s hurting Nate can surely be justified. If it looks like Nate is ever acting nice for even a short period of time, he quickly heel turns later on. Nate is a stark contrast to Fez in that he comes from a seemingly wealthy background, but basically makes no moral decisions - to the point where he’s a one-dimensional villain. That was never more present than at the end of episode 1 of this season when he hit Nate over the head with a bottle and started punching him in the face. Without much of a choice, Fez became a drug dealer and did the best given his circumstances.Īs he navigates the world of drug dealing, Fez’s moral decisions become all the more complex. Fez is a middling player not on the level of El Chapo. But it should be pointed out that he’s not really the CEO of McDonald’s - he’s more like an employee working there. Lexi replied, “Yeah, but if I were God, I don’t know if I would let McDonald’s CEO into heaven.”įez didn’t have even a decent rebuttal to that. This is where Fez reverts the McDonald’s analogy back to drug dealing. Lexi asks Fez how someone like him can believe there is a man upstairs judging his every action and still be a drug dealer. Are Fez’s actions justified in Euphoria season 2?īut can you entirely not count that? The justification for his actions bubbles up as he’s discussing God with Lexi at the party.
In season one, he was arguably one of the most moralistic characters in the show, if you don’t count the fact that he’s a drug dealer. He acts rationally and shows that he has a kind heart, like when he’s hanging out with Rue or talking with Lexi at the New Year’s Eve party. In both cases, the onus is on the individual (more on that later).įor someone in his situation, Fez has always been cool headed. In a way, that can act as an allegory for drugs.
His grandma, who raised him, helped show him how to deal drugs in the first place, doing so by treating him less like a kid and more like a business associate.įez’s grandma even gave moral rationalization for the trade as a whole when she said people don’t blame fast food chains like McDonald’s for killing people. The start of season 2 gives a backstory to Euphoria’s favorite drug dealer, detailing his upbringing and showing how he learned to navigate his current landscape. In the show’s season 2 opener, he was finally the focus. Fez has always been a lovable fan favorite in HBO’s Euphoria.
