The HBO series is back and more beautiful and chaotic than ever. The season 2 premiere features a lot of shockers, from Cassie betraying her BFF Maddy to Fez just letting Nate have it! We were there cheering for Fez, but Cassie? Not so much! What is she thinking! We can’t wait to see the aftermath of this insane New Year’s party in episode 2, “Out of Touch.” But in the meantime, let’s see which songs we want to add to our playlist thanks to Euphoria.
