Warning: This article includes spoilers for Euphoria season three episode three
Episode three of Euphoria's third season has officially dropped - and there's a lot to unpack.
The drama kicked off its new season following a five-year time jump, showing the characters living a slew of very different lives after graduating from high school, but this latest instalment might be the wildest episode yet.
From a very dramatic ending to Cassie's (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate's (Jacob Elordi) wedding to a worrying cliffhanger for Rue (Zendaya), there's no doubt fans have been left with a ton of questions.

But one moment in particular has stood out as being especially unsettling and creepy, after the identity of Jules' (Hunter Schafer's) rich sugar daddy was finally revealed to be a plastic surgeon called Ellis, played by True Blood icon Sam Trammell.
We learn that Ellis is the one paying for Jules' swanky penthouse apartment after the two go out for dinner together at a fancy restaurant, and he tells her she's 'poreless,' which, to be honest, is weird enough on its own.
He asks her when she transitioned, which was aged 13, and bizarrely seems pleased by the fact that she 'never went through puberty' because of suppressing hormones.
Another scene shows Jules and Ellis going back to her apartment, where she goes completely topless, wearing nothing but underwear and heels.
The plastic surgeon then proceeds to cover her entire body in cling film and stares at her, before eerily saying: "I just might keep you forever."
Mummification is an extreme form of bondage in which a person is wrapped in some form of wrap in order to restrict their movement.
For some, this scene might take the cake for being the most shocking, even over Cassie's eyebrow-raising OnlyFans outfits, where she dresses up as both a puppy and a baby.
While we didn't see much more of Trammell's troubling character in this episode, there's no doubt he'll be playing a key role in Jules' new life.
Especially since she's considering dropping out of art school, since she feels she 'doesn't need it' to be an artist.
Although she didn't appear in episode one, in episode two, we found out that Jules was an art student who was earning a huge amount of money by dating wealthy older men.
It comes after fans were absolutely convinced by the theory that Nate could be Jules' sugar daddy, hence why he was struggling to foot the bill for his wedding to Cassie.
Not to mention the fact that he catfished Jules in season one as 'Tyler,' leading to a complicated emotional relationship.
Episode three also shows Jules on a date with another wealthy older man, who discreetly handed her hundreds of dollars, simply for going to dinner with him.
In a recent interview with Elle, Euphoria's makeup artist Donni Davy revealed that Jules is in a 'darker place' than when we last saw her, explaining that's why her wardrobe is 'a lot darker, and a lot of the colour from the world is gone'.
She explained: "We translated this into her makeup with darker, more neutral looks that are more tailored for the male gaze."
Hair department head Kim Kimble revealed that Jules' long blonde hair is to represent her being locked up in a tower like Rapunzel, according to Decider.
"She’s like a modern-day Rapunzel trapped up in the tower and letting down her tresses," she explained.
