Fentanyl is more powerful than heroine and only a small amount of it can be lethal. Rue is the narrator of her own story, no matter how unreliable she may be at times, and she is able to recognize the pain she has caused while also asking for compassion as she navigates trauma. This deprivation can cause hypoxia and lead to permanent brain damage, coma, or death. Overdoses occur when a user’s breathing slows and the brain is deprived of adequate oxygen. National Institute on Drug Abuse data suggests that such drug mixing has led to overall increase in national overdoses involving opioids. Rue spends most of the episode on the run trying to evade another stint in rehab. Fentanyl is often mixed with and disguised as other drugs, meaning many users are unaware of what they're actually taking. Suddenly, the suitcase holding 10,000 worth of drugs Laurie (Martha Kelly) gave Rue to sell is gone. Though, increases were observed in all age groups, those particularly at risk were men between 25-34. The CDC reports that overdoses involving fentanyl have increased significantly since 2012. Illegally, the drug is often used as a powder, dripped onto paper or used in eyedroppers and nasal sprays, or made into pills. When legally prescribed, Fentanyl can treat severe pain and can be given as a shot, a patch, or a lozenge. One common symptom associated with taking Fentanyl: euphoria. (This is how drugs like morphine work.) The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) notes that fentanyl is around 80-100 times stronger than morphine.
It can also bind to receptors in the nervous system and dull pain. It left her in a terrifying stupor that we’re going to see the aftermath of in episode 5.Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to playīut what exactly is fentanyl? And could that small amount possibly kill her? Here's what to know about the dangerous drug.įentanyl is a synthetic opiate, an opium-derived substance that binds to receptors in the brain and incites the release of certain neurotransmitters like dopamine.
She was even mixing what she took with alcohol. Fentanyl is a deadly synthetic opioid that's 80-100 times more potent than morphine. In “You Who Cannot See, Think of Those Who Can,” she hadn’t let up. On Sunday night's episode of Euphoria, Rue is forced to take a drug called fentanyl. She’s been using heroin, fentanyl, and benzos. It’s not likely that Rue has died though it wouldn’t be surprising if she once again overdosed. When she gets out, she has no intention of staying away from drugs. It was a heartbreaking moment for the teen that left some fans wondering whether or not they should be preparing for a major death in the next episode. Euphoria captures the life of Rue (played by Zendaya), a high school student that goes to rehab after a drug overdose. His haunting vocals played over a scene where the embrace shifted back and forth between Labrinth and her father as she apologized for not being a good person. Meanwhile, at home, Rue continued to get high, so much so that she ended up having a spiritual vision where she was in a church being embraced by the show’s composer, Emmy award-winning artist Labrinth.
It was a situation that shook both Jules and Elliott. In her inebriated state, Rue told Jules that she couldn’t stand her and had Elliott drop her off on the side of the road so she could walk home. The mild intervention in the car earlier in the episode didn’t go well. Each scene with her consisted of her high darkening, so much so that it scared Elliott into telling Jules the truth about Rue’s sobriety when he saw her drinking. In episode 4, “You Who Cannot See, Think of Those Who Can,” Rue had taken so much drugs that she couldn’t be present in an intimate moment with Jules. The showrunner and cast did warn viewers that this season would be much darker than the first but watching Rue’s relapse has been particularly excruciating. We’re only four episodes in, but she’s in a real rough spot. Spoilers ahead of Euphoria season 2, episode 4Įuphoria season 2 has been difficult for Rue fans.
