[@user-px2ot]

@@Celestial96 idk... I suppose she treats maddie more like friend. Girlfriends do many stuff which would look completely different if you switch out them to male. Age doesn't change that much, Maddie is 17/18. She isn't a child... People are friends, talk or work with different age range people.

I think Samantha sees herself in Maddy when she was younger, that's really it. She also most definitely knows Maddy tries on her clothes, but she doesn't care, because again, she relates to what Maddy is doing/thinking back when she was younger.

[@shivaniad]

Younger ppl dont understand how much older ppl like being with them..

[@JustWhattaRuLookinAt]

That also makes a lot more sense considering her tolerance with all that. She probably does see a bit of her younger self in Maddy and feels more compassionate towards her in that way. Maybe a lot of us could be misinterpreting her behaviors as flirting when that could just be a friendly personality trait, but maybe she just wanted a close female friend like a “younger sister” around her since she mainly only has her husband and son at home. Like it’s too soon to know for sure.

[@cowboylikeme854]

This theory is proven by today's episode so great job

[@tehmaimed]

@@JustWhattaRuLookinAt I think the giveaway also is that Samantha always gave Maddy at least a 15 min notice for when she was arriving. Like she clearly knew Maddy was playing dress-up and gave her enough time to change out of her clothes 😂

This is what solidified my opinion of how much Maddy genuinely cares and cared for Cassie because the last thing she asked was, "Did you and your friend make up?" Which leads me to believe that she might want her former friend back.

The euphoria writers know a lot about the target demographic for Euphoria, which is hormonal young people, and sadly i know a lot of hormonal young people who have a thing for older female characters. My guess is they saw the amount of people making Mommy and MILF jokes on twitter and tiktok and took the chance in order to attract that type of viewer.

I feel like Samantha just let’s Maddy wear her clothes even though she watches it through her hidden camera because if she wanted to report or fire her, she would’ve done it a long time ago. She just knows it and informs Maddy whenever she’s getting back home. Plus, she seems genuinely kind to her in their interactions. But we feel odd vibes about her and idk if it’s in a good or a bad way, but it definitely shows there’s something more. I can’t wait for her side of the story to unravel.

[@galindosan_12]

[@michelleta1628]

From what we’ve seen of her character Samantha probably just gets a kick and a laugh out of this teenager trying on her designer clothes, because what teenage girl who lives for fashion wouldn’t do that if given the chance. Obviously she watches to make sure Maddy doesn’t steal anything but if Maddy doesn’t and she does her job well there’s no need to fire her.

[@brooklynnbien-aime3859]

I don’t watch euphoria but I just watch some random clips so do u mind telling me why?

[@chiefbologna5719]

@@yasminyousuf Sure. Maddie is in an on and off again relationship with Nate, mostly on. Maddie is best friends with Cass. Cass got an abortion and was then basically ghosted. While they were off, Nate decided to go to a liquor store that Cass was sitting outside of in a depressed state. Nate gave her the right amount of attention as the mother in this clip puts it and they hook up which leads to a secret relationship. This explanation to the hook up and comparison to the mother is later emphasized by her argument with her sister after Cass’s attempted suicide, there was no valid reason in her sister’s mind for Cass to be with Nate, she’s known him her whole life and was never into him. Along with the right amount of attention at the wrong time, Cass also has abandonment and daddy issues, so do with that as you may. It should also be noted that no one is aware of the pregnancy/abortion except for Cass, her ex-boyfriend and maybe her family (def the mom, maybe on the sister) Tl:dr - The mom’s story is, from a cinematic viewpoint, a form of foreshadowing. She slept with her best friends boyfriend. Cassie slept with Maddie’s (her best friend) boyfriend. The outcome of the mother’s situation was no longer being friends with her best friend. The foreshadowed outcome of this show is that Maddie (best friend) is no longer friends with Cass (mother).

I think what makes me the most upset about this is that Cassie's go-to defense is "Nate was single; they weren't dating!!!" First of all, it doesn't matter. You just don't date your friend's ex. It's very disrespectful. Second, it would be one thing if Nate was just an ex, but Nate literally ABUSED Maddy. Do you know how much it would hurt if someone you trusted and loved and cared for so much started sleeping with and dating your ABUSER?

[@bnnyjay]

say it louder please

[@FabalociousDee]

@kristi kirk Two things: 1) If they're on-off rather than technically off, then Maddy was still dating him. And even if that wasn't the case, Cassie was still hooking up with a guy who abused Maddy AND disrespected Cassie for years. 2) THAT SAID, people are using this to justify OTT vitriol against Cassie. If Cassie was to fuck others' boyfriends with absolutely no remorse, and be on the same energy Maddy was on, nobody would have anything to say. Almost every person on the show has done worse in their lives than Cassie, Maddy included. Cassie's just easy for folk to hate because she doesn't scare anyone.

[@beanerina1226]

@kristi kirk maddie & nate not being together doesn't make things any better LOL. idk what you're watching but when cassie brought that point up - nate himself didn't agree, saying that it was a comfort to nobody but herself. on top of that, cassie knew how maddie would feel and did it anyway. one can understand why cassie would go that far but it's not right. you sound very self righteous, you need to get off youtube if you can't handle other people's opinions 💀💀

"Did you and your friend ever make up?" I don't know why but Maddy asking this question gives me the feeling that deep down she really wants to make up with Cassie. Or at least willing to hear her out(maybe beat her up first.). This is supported by when she asked Cassie to give her a reason why she did it with Nate and if she (Cassie) wanted to throw the friendship away. The balls is in Maddy"s court and has the upper hand on both the relationship with Nate and Cassie, so she gets to choose what she wants to do.

@@love-ip7sz Lexi showed it multiple times in the past. Cassie has treated her like shit all her life tho. I'm sure Lexi is just fed up and annoyed with Cassie at this point hence the play in the next episode

[@zitronentee]

For me, it's not like that. Both actually still have working support system. That includes their friends. The most jarring difference is their level of self worth and confidence. Maddy still has her confidence and strong personality, able to stand up against Nate when she didn't like something. Maddy wants attention. But Cassie has very low confidence that she's willing to give 'everything' to Nate. Cassie wants ideal relationship, which definition can be detached from reality. And everytime something doesn't go her way in her relationship with Nate, she will use emotional manipulation -- crying, self-harm, breakdown, victim complex, etc. Lexi is clearly still care but already fed up to some degree. How do I know? My mom is Cassie.

Can we take a moment to savor that the question Maddy asks is not ‘Did you end up with that guy’?She asks if their friendship ever recovered from it. She’s misses Cassie more than she misses Nate 😢 and I’m totally here for it

[@gigi4266]

it's heartbreaking.

[@user-cu2zi1bd4s]

I love that they made Samantha a likeable character & then had her reveal this about her past. It could’ve destroyed her likability & her relationship with Maddy but instead it just demonstrated that good people make mistakes & lose things like good relationships with good friends but regardless there’s still room for grace and growth. & that eventually everything will turn out okay & you can start over regardless of what you may regret doing in the past. So realistic and relatable

Samantha has such bad advice. A messy life can ruin you no matter what age.

[@joana5337]

I think she meant that Maddy is just too young to believe that her "brain is just wired that way", which is true. A lot of teenagers who go through abuse where they believe themselves to be complicit (Maddy went back to Nate, wanted to go back to him, committed a crime for him when lying to the police) convince themselves that it's all they're good for and that life will never get better. In fact, most teenagers feel this way about any hardship in their life, that it will never change because high school is all that matters. But the truth it, that they're kids, and their life hasn't even actually begun yet. That's why Samantha said that it would only be a problem if she was still dating guys like Nate in adulthood.

[@flamingomingo9810]

She probably doesn’t know about nate’s extreme abuse towards her, just that he’s an asshole and cheater. But other than that she’s right, maddy needs to learn how to make her own decisions on her own. Life won’t always be this way.

Interesting adults drinking with kids is so normalized in this show. I dont know if she is trying to seduce her. But it seems like she is trying to gain her trust. Maybe she wants to use Maddy for something. Like having another kid, seduce her husband? Something weird?

I mean, the kids look literally like adults, for real sometimes I just put in my mind that Maddie has 30 years old to look more real lmao. People definitely shouldn't normalize but we can't blame them cause the characters that have 17 year old just don't look like a 17 years old ;--;

[@MariaClara-jj5hj]

When Maddy asked Samantha if her and her friend ever made up, it made me feel even worse for her. She was wondering if there could be a way back from something like this; it just puts into perspective how much consideration she had for Cassie and how losing her friendship was a lot more painful than having to get over Nate.

[@haeymzmdlcccc]

nobody is out here shipping them. we are saying she could be a potential creep because adults know their limits, and samantha doesn't. or maybe she is just a really lonely lady who wants friends. but the first theory is also a possibility, especially coming from a show like euphoria...

[@cskyla1844]

@@haeymzmdlcccc I rlly don't see Samantha in a weird way, she probably just hasn't talked to a teenager in a long ass time that's female that asks for advice, so she probably was open and empathetic w Maddy.

[@supersugar97]

I rewatched this scene several times and noticed that, at 01:00, it not only shows the time of the cloak but also next to the time, there’s something like a small lense/a hidden camera, which is quite a commonplace to put a hidden camera for security purposes. Therefore confirms that Samantha knows Maddy was in her closet. 🙏

omg I was wondering why they did a close up of the clock but didn't bother to show the time change! thanks for pointing it out

[@faithslovelysubs]

In my opinion it was a blessing what happened between Cassie and Nate bc if it didn’t maddy probably would’ve continued to be in a extremely toxic and messy relationship with Nate for a long time but now since he cheated with Cassie she probably won’t ever talk to him so it was actually a good thing that happened for her

[@corrinadavis9270]

I really appreciate Samantha in this scene. She acknowledges what happened with Cassie and Nate is horrible to Maddy, and admits she did it herself. Doesn’t offer excuses for why she did it, but provides context of what caused her to make that decision and still takes responsibility for it being a stupid and horrible thing to do. She and her friend never spoke again and both moved on. I appreciate that she didn’t try to get Maddy to have empathy for Cassie or herself and acknowledges that she and her friend never spoke again because of her actions. She just looks back on her younger self and basically laughs almost in awe of how naive and messy she was. But now she’s moved on to a wonderful man, found her self worth and is living in a gorgeous house with her kid, and I assume her former friend did the same. At the end of the day the shitty guy was tossed to the side and wasn’t worth it, which in this case would apply to both Maddy and Cassie even if they never make up. While what Cassie did was stupid and horrible, I genuinely hope she moves on from this experience and finds her self worth, finds the love the deserves and grows as a person. And I hope Maddy can grow from this experience and not let a toxic and abusive high school relationship define her, while finding the love she deserves as well. At the end of the day, the guy just wasn’t worth it.

[@PettyPercy]

I feel as if not enough people are talking about the fact that she’s giving Maddy, a TEEN alcohol. That’s never okay in any circumstance no matter how “close” you are to them

[@thillili2163]

Maddie and Cassie's case happened to my friend but minus the sleeping thing. The boy has been gaslighting her, telling her that she is suffocating for asking his whereabouts cause that boy has not been talking to his mother who is abroad. She called it quits because it was tiring dealing with such an attitude. The other girl was her classmate and a friend who witnessed all the cries, drama, and how the guy tried to win back my friend. She saw it all. But a while after the breakup, they are seen in most places together. The boy and the other friend, yes. My friend got herself out of feeling bad about what they did but I'm still fuming mad. People would say, "It's not like they cheated." Yeah, just betrayed her, I guess. The fact that she choose to be with him despite her knowing what happened just invalidated my friend's suffering. It's not about them being together. It's about losing a friend because of this toxic guy.

Nah I think Maddy will be wealthy and fashionable and live a fabulous life once she lets go of her toxic high school life. Cassie will end up knocked and miserable like Nate’s mom. I guarantee it. Maddy needs to forgive Cassie for herself, so she can move on. Fuck Nate. Russian Roulette with a pistol was closure enough. Nate and Cassie will repeat Cal and Nate’s mom Vicki’s cycle. Nate tried to distance himself from his father to not become him but he is wayyy worse than his father. Nate’s mom is trash and her making statements about Maddy being the one who would get knocked up and keep it to spite him…she has it backwards. That is what Cassie would do. Cassie is emotionally unstable and is obsessed with Nate. McKay already convinced her to have an abortion (which all of this could be the product of that). I guarantee she wouldn’t let Nate convince her to do the same. She would keep it to spite him and feel closer to him. I hope the writers don’t let us down and actually finishes up story/character arcs. They have so much potential with this season

It’s obvious that samantha sees herself in maddy. but what i think she is trying to prove is that if she (a person that maddy liked and still likes even after finding out what she did when she was younger) is able to become a better person and grow as a person cassie is able to do the same. i think it’s foreshadowing character development for cassie not so much maddy but maddy’s RELATIONSHIP with cassie. it shows that (hopefully this happens bc i’m rooting for this friendship and both of these amazing fictional women) cassie will eventually realize that she was used . cassie obviously is having trouble figuring out who she is, coping with her thoughts, and trying to figure out why she is the way she is. i just think she is blinded by the attention nate gave her. he didn’t deserve either of them. i really hope their friendship and cassie in general, get redemption arcs.

[@hiidkwhyimhere2597]

What i love about Euphoria is that the clothes and makeup are a direct reflection of what the chravters are feeling and such. This scene it's seen so cleary because you can see on Maddy, she's more bold amd daring with her make up, her earrings are much more slim and her swimsuit/top is also a lot more bold. Basically telling me she in that psrt in her life where she's figured out who she is and she's reveling in it but at the same time is still unsure with herself because of how much she's put on and gone through. But for Samantha? More simple. Her top is a simple piece, her make-up is more muddled down but still bringing out her best features and her earrings though are more bold and bigger, showing that she's wiser and more mature with how she is because she doesn't need to be all bold and daring with her appearance to show that she's happy with herself. But when you look at the two of them from afar, they look the same. Same hoop earrings, same type of tops, same style of makeup (both are showing their best features). This shows to me that Samantha will be who maddy is in the future. Wiser, older, mature, and happier with herself. While Maddy is who Samantha was, bold, daring, wild and reckless. And to me, this scene is like the saying: "One day you're going to look back on this moment, and it's all going to feel so small." Maddy? She'll grow and learn from this. And Samantha? She has grown and she hs learned
