Every Time Euphoria's Ashtray Chooses Violence in Season 2

1 Euphoria Season 2, Episode 1: Ashtray Kills Mouse With a Hammer

Episode one of "Euphoria" season two shows the aftermath of Fez robbing rival drug dealer Mouse (Meeko Gattuso). Fez has to steal from Mouse to pay off his debts with his supplier Laurie (Martha Kelly) after Nate's call to police results in him having to flush all the drugs he was supposed to sell. Mouse eventually confronts Fez, and Ashtray isn't having it. The young drug accountant seemingly comes from nowhere as he runs and takes a hammer to Mouse's head and kills him.

Fez attacks Nate (Jacob Elordi) during a New Year's Eve party in the premiere episode because the high school bully ratted him out to police. The brutal beatdown results in Nate getting hospitalized. Nate's dad, Cal, then goes on a quest to figure out who beat up his son. Nate refuses to snitch, but Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) does.

Cal eventually goes to Fez's store to intimidate him. When it looks like he's pulling a gun out of his pocket, Ashtray pulls out a gun stored in a cereal box in the event that Cal shoots. It turns out Cal was just pulling out money to pay for a pack of gum, but Ashtray was ready!

Cal (Eric Dane), Nate's dad, just won't leave Fez alone. In episode three of "Euphoria," Cal does a stakeout of the drug dealer's home. Ashtray catches Cal sleeping in his car outside Fez's home and approaches him with a rifle. The young drug dealer brings Cal in for interrogation and has a little too much fun with it.

"First you come to my f*cking job asking all these weird-ass questions like the feds, then I find you in front of my house. The f*ck are you doing, man?" Fez asks with Ashtray holding up the gun to his head. Cal mocks Fez for calling Nate a "f*cking b*tch," and Ashtray hits him with the rifle. "You're in no position to talk sh*t," he warns Cal.

Ashtray proceeds to hit Cal at least a dozen more times because he threatens to call the cops and Ashtray knows Cal is bluffing. Cal's dad is bleeding heavily from his forehead before Fez eventually intervenes and tells Ashtray to chill out. You could argue Fez has saved Cal's life twice. Ashtray clearly doesn't care about a murder charge.

4 "Euphoria" Season 2, Episode 8 (Finale): Ashtray Kills Mouse and Stays to Defend Fez Against SWAT

The "Euphoria" finale came with total destruction. Season two began with Ashtray killing Mouse and ended with Custer (Tyler Chase), Mouse's assistant, setting up Ashtray and Fez for the murder to avoid jail time for witnessing the crime.

Custer's girlfriend, Faye, (Chloe Cherry) tips off Fez that Mouse is recording their conversation as he's supposed to leave to see Lexi's (Maude Apatow) high school play "Our Life."

When Fez gives Ashtray a look to tip him off, the young drug dealer leaps up from the couch and stabs Custer in the neck. Knowing that a SWAT team is about to bust through the door any minute, Fez pleads with Ashtray to escape, so that he can take the fall for both of his murders.

Rather than escape, Ashtray is stubborn that he won't let Fez go down for his mistakes. Instead, he goes to his stash of ammunition and hunkers down in the bathtub, awaiting police to have a shootout.

Fez continues to plead with Ashtray even as police are entering his home. He also repeatedly tells police "he's just a kid" as they begin exchanging gunfire with Ashtray through the bathroom door. The final scene in the exchange shows a laser aimed at Ashtray's head and the sound of a gunshot as the camera points to Fez screaming. We're not sure what happens to Ashtray, but it was devastating nonetheless.

HBO greenlit "Euphoria" for season three, so we'll just have to wait until then to find out what really happened to Ashtray and Fez.
