Warning: This article includes spoilers for Euphoria season three episode two
We're two episodes into Euphoria's highly anticipated third season - and the fan theories are rolling in.
The HBO TV show, starring huge names like Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Jacob Elordi, kicked off its first season since 2022 on 12 April, with the episodes rolling out weekly.
Whether it's taking up OnlyFans or working for a drug lord, five years after high school ended, it's safe to say the characters are all living very different lives from when we last saw them.

Season three has also welcomed an array of new cast members to join the OG crew, including 24-year-old Puerto Rican actress Priscilla Delgado, who plays the role of Angel - a stripper who works for Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) at the Silver Slipper, the underground club where Rue (Zendaya) works.
The two characters hit it off immediately and began a flirtatious relationship that saw them sleep together in a car, although the scene wasn't actually shown, reportedly due to Zendaya's alleged famous 'no nudity clause'.
But episode two saw Angel heading on a downward spiral after Rue broke the news that her best friend Tish (Emma Kotos) had died of an overdose and her death had been covered up.
Working for Alamo, Rue got rid of every trace of her in the club owner’s home and business, burning all of her personal belongings.
After the traumatic event, Angel begins struggling with drug addiction, prompting Rue to take her to Hope Springs - a specific rehab centre that Alamo 'has on speed dial'.
But when they get there, it's extremely sketchy vibes, with Rue being told she doesn't need to fill out any paperwork.
Viewers have picked up on a number of details in the scene that they think mean Angel could be headed towards a dark fate.
Namely, a close-up shot of the receptionist at the facility having really dirty fingernails, and an ambulance pulling up outside as soon as Angel has been dropped off.
Not to mention the eerie foreshadowing as they drive there in the car, when Angel tells Rue that more people go missing in California than in any other place in the world.
Taking to social media, one X user penned: "Oh we're never seeing Angel again #Euphoria"
Which led others to question: "Is it because she bites her nails??" and "I'm such an idiot, I thought she just had dirty nails".
However, someone else claimed: "Nah, it's dried blood aske I got it, Angel's probably gonna end up in an organ trafficking ring given the van that showed up barely after Rue left."
While a second agreed: "Damn, this got stuck in my head too, could it have something to do with organ trafficking????"
And a third wrote, "The no paper trail, dried blood on fingers, ambulance pulling up right after its def organ trafficking :/ she's too sloppy rn to make him money so he's just gonna take it in another way.."
"I thought the same thing too, I came in here, and people are saying it's dried blood," added a fourth.
While others guessed: "It’s definitely a death center for Alamo’s girls" and "This sis what I think too because the ambulance being there right after the leave is crazy."
Another viewer pointed out: "Alamo said he had rehab centers on speed dial. There was no paperwork, no nothing. The emphases on the receptionist's nails being dark, most likely dry blood. No type of care or nothing. An ambulance being there right after Rue drives off…"
Meanwhile, others chimed in with: "Especially the ambulance pulling up in the back" and "Angel foreshadowing it in the car ride, talking to Rue about how many people go missing in California."
But, according to IMDb, the actress is credited as featuring in six episodes of Euphoria season three, suggesting that Angel may have actually survived.
Fans will have to wait and see...
