The season two premiere ending led us to believe that Cal or Nate might want to get even with Fez for beating up Nate. However, Cal doesn't seem to be heading down that road following the events of episode four. But several theories are floating around that still foreshadow a dark fate for Fez.
One Reddit user, @wypipobooty54, thinks the writers fleshed out Fez's character in season two to make his theorized impending demise all the more shocking and hurtful for viewers who are now emotionally invested in his character. They pointed out that the title of the season-two premiere was "Trying to Get to Heaven Before They Close the Door." In the episode, Fez and Lexi had a conversation about morals and believing in God. Fez revealed he believes in God but said he'd have to get back to Lexi on the discussion about getting into heaven.
Another subtle clue the user highlighted is the scene in the premiere in which Fez tells Laurie that he trusts Rue (Zendaya) with his life. While his vote of confidence in Rue may seem par for the course, the way the camera momentarily lingers on Rue in the background may foreshadow that Fez will ultimately end up in a life-or-death situation involving Rue and Laurie (Martha Kelly). We have to admit, things aren't looking good following episode five, which saw Rue reveal to Laurie that she wasn't able to come up with the $10,000 she owed her for the suitcase of drugs.
Ashtray may be a hardcore ride or die, but we know Fez is cut from the same cloth, and no one is better suited to help Rue get out of the mess she's gotten herself into than him. He wouldn't hesitate to protect the ones he loves. That includes Rue and, by extension, Jules (Hunter Schafer) — even if it means sacrificing his life to save theirs.
