The fourth episode of Euphoria Season 3, titled “Kitty Likes to Dance,” culminates with a gripping scene as Laurie’s (Martha Kelly) crew seeks vengeance for Paladin’s death. This intense moment intricately ties multiple plot threads together, incorporating a touch of dark humor that cleverly highlights one of series star Chloe Cherry’s most notable features.
**Warning: Spoilers for Euphoria Season 3 Episode 4 “Kitty Likes to Dance,” now available on HBO Max**
The episode resumes from the previous cliffhanger, with Rue (played by Zendaya) being stopped by two DEA agents, portrayed by Hemky Madera and Bill Bodner. They pressure her into becoming an informant. Yet, Rue nearly exposes her new role when Magick (Rosalía, sporting a neck brace) overhears her questioning the newcomer, Kitty (Anna Van Patten), about whether she’s being coerced into both stripping and prostitution. Rue has just seen surveillance footage of Kitty enduring a brutal assault by intoxicated patrons, following Magick’s chilling revelation that Angel (Priscilla Delgado) has vanished after supposedly “running away from rehab.”
As Rue tries to shift suspicion onto Magick, Laurie’s gang—led by Wayne (Toby Wallace) and Harley (James Landry Hébert), sporting eerie Obama masks—storms the club, holding Big Eddy (Kadeem Hardison), Rue, and Magick at gunpoint. Amidst the chaos, a visibly shaken Kitty is the only one who seems to perceive the danger unfolding around them, questioning another person about a loud noise she heard.
What unfolds next? How does Faye (Chloe Cherry) inadvertently reveal Laurie’s intentions? And who is the actress portraying the mysterious new Kansan, Kitty?
Euphoria Season 3 Episode 4 “Kitty Likes to Dance” Ending Explained: How Does Faye’s Lips Give Laurie’s Game Away?
In a tense and terrifying sequence, Wayne and Harley eventually wear Big Eddy down by first threatening the girls, huddled against each other in horror, and then by shooting him first in the gut and then threatening to blow off his genitals. A worse for wear Big Eddy eventually reveals the safe is behind the painting and opens it. Wayne and Harley exuberantly steal everything inside and leave, driving off with the help of Faye.
When Rue calls Bishop (Darrell Britt-Gibson) for aid, he ignores Big Eddy’s life-threatening injuries and asks Magick to zoom in on footage of the getaway car. She tells him that the truck has no plates and the robbers still are masked. However, Magick is able to make out that the driver is a woman with absurdly large lips.
Rue betrays herself with a glance. Magick asks if she knows this woman and Rue explains the getaway driver is a woman named Faye who works with Laurie. So, at long last, Faye’s most distinct feature becomes a literal plot point in Euphoria.
Of course, Faye isn’t the only girl drawing attention in Euphoria Season 3 Episode 4…
