Euphoria star Angus Cloud addresses the fact that Fezco was meant to die in the season 2 finale. At the end of eight chaotic and divisive episodes, Euphoria season 2 wraps up with potentially big changes for all the characters.

This leads to a shootout between Ash and a SWAT team, in which Ash is seemingly shot and killed. Many fans of Euphoria are working on the assumption that, even though Ash’s death is never shown on-screen, the kid died in a foolish attempt to protect Fezco – who has been like an older brother to him.
