The second season of the Emmy Award-winning drama Euphoria, which stars Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Dominic Fike and Hunter Schafer, is well and truly underway. The hugely popular HBO high-school series didnât waste any time in setting up for unsurprising chaos.
The drama shares a group of teenagers in high school who navigate difficult issues like toxic relationships, drug addiction, sexuality and mental health illness.
The series started by focusing on Fez, the drug dealer at East Highland. It was revealed that it was his grandma who encouraged Fez to become a part of the illegal trade. Fans of the show were then introduced to how his right hand man Ashtray came to be a part of his dealings.
In true Euphoria style, season two began with a larger-than-life house party set during New Yearâs Eve where Maddy wowed the rest of the group with her outfit, Jules was unsurprisingly looking for Rue and we witnessed that wherever Nate goes, trouble follows.
At the end of the episode, he was the subject of a relentless punch-up caused by Fez. But since Fez spent most of the party cosying up to Lexi on the sofa, how did his fists end up in Nateâs grill?
We see Fez getting ready to leave from Lexiâs perspective, as he calls Ashtray and tells him to start the car. He then takes off his jumper and strolls into the kitchen, where Nate is minding his own business and drinking a beer. However, itâs apparent that s***âs about to hit the fan.
Fez fetches himself a drink and chats to Nate, who remembers that he was threatened by the other teen last time they had a conversation. They then offer âcheersâ to that memory as Fez breaks a bottle of alcohol over Nateâs head and punches the teen.
Itâs not clear if Nate survived the attack at the end of the episode, while Maddy, McKay and the others in the group carry him out to Cutting Crewâs (I Just) Died in Your Arms. Jacob Elordi, who plays Nate in Euphoria, admitted thereâs still more to Nateâs life at home – so this may not be how it ends for the character.

What happened between Nate and Fez in season 1?
As a favour to Rue, who speculated Nate was to blame for Jules’ distant behaviour, Fezco confronted him, warning that he stay away from Rue and her friends. In retaliation, Nate made an anonymous phone call to the police, reporting the illegal drug business Fez runs with his younger brother, Ashtray. The two were then forced to dispose of their stash, leaving them with heavy debts to their supplier.
Nate’s actions land Fezco in trouble as he must now pay the price for the drugs he was forced to flush down the drain. In the end, Fezco finds a way to pay back his supplier, Mouse, and emerges out of the conflict unscathed. However, Fezco is not one to forget and forgive easily, meaning Nate is still in his bad books. Therefore, there is tension in the air when Fezco and Nate see each other across the room at the New Year’s party in the season 2 premiere. After the count down, Fezco approaches Nate. In a surprising turn of events, he offers Nate a drink, hinting at a desire to bury the hatchet between them. As soon as Nate falls for the trick, Fezco hits Nate in the head with a glass bottle. Thus, Fezco’s attack on Nate stems from his desire for revenge on the man who narced on him.
Nate is one of the main characters of the series, and actor Jacob Elordi (‘The Kissing Booth‘) is a series regular. Therefore, killing off a major character in the season premiere would be anti-climatic as there’s still a lot left to explore about Nate. Nate’s relationship with Maddy, his recent hookup with Cassie, psychological issues stemming from his father’s behavior and sexuality are all compelling plot threads viewers wish to see explored further. Therefore, it is unlikely that we have seen the last of Nate. Moreover, Nate’s recent brush with death could help him set things in perspective, or his anger issues could spiral out of control. Hence, viewers should brace themselves to seeing a more menacing Nate in the upcoming episodes.
‘Euphoria‘ returns with its much-anticipated second season and gives viewers another look into the sex-addled and drug-riddled lives of teenagers from East Highland High School. In the second season premiere, all our favorite characters from Jules to Rue gather at a New Year’s party and have their own merry time. However, the spirit of the party dies when two adversaries unexpectedly come face to face. If you are shocked by the fight between Fezco and Nate, you must be wondering about Nate’s fate in its aftermath. Here’s everything you need to know about Fezco’s attack and its implications on Nate. SPOILERS AHEAD!
After Fezco breaks a bottle on Nate’s head, he continues to beat up the teenager. Fezco pins Nate to the ground and punches him until Mckay intervenes. Fezco gives Nate the beating of his life and leaves him bloody as a pulp. Nate has a grave cut that stretches down from his forehead to cheeks. He is bleeding a lot and is seriously injured. McKay and the others carry Nate’s body out as he cannot stand up. However, he does not appear to have passed out. Therefore, Nate isn’t dead, at least not when we see him for the last time.
Fezco is the drug dealer friend of Rue, who runs his own operation with his little brother, Ashtray. In the first season, Rue figures out that Nate is the reason for Jules’ distant behavior, assuming Nate is blackmailing Jules. Rue asks Fezco to threaten Nate and intimidate him into staying away from Rue and her friends. Fezco does precisely that, but his plan backfires after Nate informs the police of Fezco’s drug operations. Fezco threatens to kill Nate the next time their paths cross.
