In this episode of Previously On, Jillian and her husband Tyler are diving into Euphoria Season 1 Episode 2, “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy,” and things escalate FAST. After the character introductions in the premiere, this episode wastes no time getting darker, messier, and way more scandalous as the storylines really start taking shape.

We break down Nate Jacobs’ deeply disturbing backstory and the early warning signs that he might be one of the scariest characters on television. From his obsession with control to the shocking reveal about his secret identity online, we talk about why his dynamic with Jules is both unsettling and weirdly compelling. We also highlight the top 5 “I don’t like where this is going…” moments that includes Kat's new entrepreneurial spirit, Cassie questioning her self-worth, and the reality of Rue's drug addiction.

If Episode 1 cracked the door open, Episode 2 kicks it wide open! Tune in as we recap every jaw-dropping moment, analyze the characters’ choices, and continue our full Euphoria Season 1 rewatch.

We're dropping a pod recapping every single episode of Euphoria leading up to the April 12th premiere. Then we'll recap each episode of Season 3 weekly. Subscribe to our channel so you don't miss an ep!
