Euphoria S3E3 Recap: A Lavish Wedding Descends Into Chaos and Consequences

Vulture’s recap of Euphoria Season 3, Episode 3, The Ballad of Palladin, follows Cassie and Nate’s opulent wedding as Naz’s threats collide with fragile egos; Jules tests sugar-baby dynamics while Rue drifts into a Tarantino-esque crime mood with Alamo; Palladin the parrot dies after Bishop slips a drug into its water, and Nate is brutalized as Cassie bleeds, ending with Rue’s DEA stop on the drive home. The piece argues the season is veering toward darker, more violent territory and a sharper moral ambiguity.
