Throughout Sunday night time’s episode, Rue (Zendaya) escapes her mom, Leslie (Nika King), after Jules (Hunter Schafer) and Elliot (Dominic Fike) disclose to her that Rue’s nonetheless utilizing medicine. Rue first runs to Lexi’s (Maude Apatow) place in hopes of discovering extra prescription medication. Whereas she’s within the lavatory, Lexi and Cassie’s mother, Suze (Alanna Ubach), calls Leslie. Leslie finally ends up staging an intervention in entrance of Lexi in addition to Maddy (Alexa Demie) and Kat (Barbie Ferreira), who occur to be hanging out with Cassie on the similar time.

When Rue expresses that she would not assume she has the aptitude to remain sober for an extended time frame, Cassie advises, “You do not have to simply take it sooner or later at a time.” That is when all of it goes left. “Hey, Cass? How lengthy have you ever been f*cking Nate Jacobs?” Rue retorts again in entrance of Maddy.
