The newest Euphoria episode, “A Thousand Little Trees of Blood”, was a welcomed return to Sam Levinson’s gritty teenage drama.
However, despite its momentum, it squandered the opportunity with a storyline that lacked the focus and character development it needed.
Kat and Ethan’s (Austin Abrams), relationship was one of the highlights of season 1.
They were the show’s warm, loving couple that viewers couldn’t help rooting for. After a string of personal issues, Kat seems to have ended that relationship.
In this week’s episode, Kat blind-sided Ethan at dinner with the news that she has a “terminal brain disorder.”
She tried to gaslight him into believing he was gaslighting her, then acted accusatory when he called her out on it.
This was not how Kat handled the situation, according to fans. They believe her screen time has been significantly reduced this season, so they were disappointed to see the breakup scene go down the way it did.
