Wait, What Happened to Faye On Euphoria?

The season finale ends in heartbreak.

Spoilers ahead for the Euphoria Season 2 finale.

Everything fell apart for Fezco (Angus Cloud) and Ashtray (Javon Walton) in the Euphoria Season 2 finale. Ashtray stabbed Custer (Tyler Chase) in the throat once he realized Custer sold them out to the police, and locked himself in the bathroom with a bathtub full of guns. When police burst into the house, a massive shootout ensued, which led to Fez getting shot in the side and Ashtray getting killed. The only person in the house whose fate was left relatively unknown was Faye’s (Chloe Cherry); she seemed to have been thrown to the floor when the police broke in. So is Faye dead on Euphoria?

While we saw Fez get shot and later taken away by the police, the only image we got of Faye is when she was lying face down on the floor — seemingly still alive — as the police first come in. But then a huge shootout ensued, and we never saw what happened to Faye. Was she also caught in the crossfire? And if she’s alive, has she been arrested along with Fez? She really had no hand in Custer and Fez’s business, so will she just be let go? Alternatively, did she somehow manage to run out before the bullets started flying?

Faye has remained largely in the background for most of the season, but in the finale she stepped up and tried to defuse the situation between Custer, Fez, and Ash. After Custer revealed to her that he was working with police to take down Fez for Mouse’s murder, he told her to just shut up and play along. But she was clearly conflicted about the whole situation. After all, Fez and Ash took her in without question while Custer laid low, and Fez in particular seemed to always speak kindly to her.

So when Custer revealed to Fez that the cops found Mouse’s body and tried to get a confession out of him — with cops presumably listening in on his phone — Faye intervened. She reminded Custer that he told her that Laurie (Martha Kelly), Mouse’s boss, killed him. Even as Custer began to berate her, she kept insisting that Mouse’s death was Laurie’s fault only.

We’ll sadly never find out if Faye’s plan to shift attention to Laurie would’ve ever worked. (Though fingers crossed for that moment to somehow help Fez get out of jail.) Still, her revealing her loyalty to Fez and Ashtray made her the new Euphoria Season 2 fan favorite. We may be typing this through our tears in the wake of Ash’s death, but Faye, you a real one.
