*SPOILERS AHEAD FOR EUPHORIA SEASON 2, EPISODE 3*

Euphoria Season Two, Episode Three, “Ruminations: Big and Little Bullys,” was..a lot. It dared to make us sympathetic for otherwise toxic characters and question rooting for our dysfunctional yet lovable protagonist Rue. Overall, it managed to leave all of us with a giant pit in our stomachs, but what else did we really expect?

Below is the playlist for this week’s episode, “Ruminations: Big and Little Bullys,” featuring a healthy dose of timeless throwbacks. Enjoy!
