'Euphoria' episode 4 sees Rue face DEA pressure and Cassie turn to OnlyFans amid mounting debt

The fourth episode of Euphoria season three, titled “Kitty Likes to Dance”, advances several major storylines as characters face escalating consequences.

The episode continues developments from earlier instalments, including Rue’s confrontation with authorities and Cassie’s financial struggles.

Rue, played by Zendaya, is shown undergoing questioning by the DEA following her involvement in illegal activities.

The situation intensifies when Laurie is mentioned, placing Rue at risk of a lengthy prison sentence. As a result, she appears to consider cooperating with federal agents by providing information about Laurie and Alamo.

Cassie, portrayed by Sydney Sweeney, addresses mounting financial pressure linked to Nate’s reported $1 million debt. Seeking a rapid source of income, she agrees to launch an OnlyFans account.

The episode depicts her undergoing a transformation as part of this decision, shifting her public image while attending a high-profile party hosted by influencer Brandon Fontaine.

Elsewhere, Lexi commissions Jules to create artwork for a television production, though the result disrupts filming due to its content. The situation leads to a direct response from producer Patricia, who highlights the impact on the project.

The episode also features a nightclub sequence involving Kitty, set against a contrasting musical backdrop, intercut with Cassie’s interactions at the event.

Tension rises when Rue becomes involved in a confrontation at a strip club, before an unexpected robbery interrupts proceedings. The incident temporarily diverts attention, allowing Rue to avoid further scrutiny.

In a final development, Rue identifies the driver assisting the robbers as Faye, suggesting a connection to Laurie’s network. The episode concludes with multiple storylines unresolved, setting up further developments in the series.

Euphoria season three continues to stream on HBO Max. Episode 5, titled "This Little Piggy," will be released May 10.
