Season 3 Rewrite

Lexi: I don't understand what happened to you, like your conscience. It's like you've all lost your fսcking minds, you, Cassie, Rue.

Maddy: Rue's always been crazy.

Lexi: Not like this. She was just here ranting about Black cowboys and Nazis, and how she works for the drսg Enforcement Administration. Like, it's insane.

Maddy: Calm down, I'm just trying to find your sister.

Lexi: Okay, well, she's probably doing pοrn, thanks to you.

*Hangs up*

*Front door opens and closes*

Lexi: *calls* You got me my malt liquor, right?

*smiles to herself*

I have a bee in my bonnet about people calling Lexi judgmental and that me made me think of Maude Apatows performance. There's kind of a disgusted anger under it.

And it occured to me- she would have known Rob and Michelle Reiner.

She's seen first hand what can actually happen with a serious drug problem.

So did that inform her performance?

Season 3 rewrite

Rue: Yo, Howard! O'Neil! It’s Bennett, open up!

Lexi: Hey!

Rue: Hey.

Lexi: Fez! Rue's here! Fez! ... urgh he's snaking the drain, he's obsessed with it.

Sometimes Lexi and Fezco would let me crash on their couch.

Fezco had served 5 years of a 10 year sentence as an accessory to murder as part of a plea deal. He'd worked with the DEA and handed them Laurie and her crew.

Lexi was working in Hollywood on a nighttime soap.

Fez had learnt carpentry while in jail and Lexi had gotten him a job on set.

They were doing good.

[tragedyface]

People have criticised Lexi this season but totally forgetting that she lost her dad to his addiction.

She knows she's going to loose Rue to it so she's checking out.

Thats what happens when you have addicts in your life. They 'die' in some many ways to you over and over until you know you're one day never going to see them again. Because 'them' has already disappeared to you.

I think that also feeds into why she doesn't have contact with Fezco. So many people have left her through drugs that she just can't fight for them anymore.

[tragedyface]

People are upset about Rue dying but they told you that was gonna happen from the first episode- Rue looking at herself in the mirror in the coffin.

I think Euphoria was a depiction of how out of control a drug problem can become and how it can affect everyone around you.

Rue and Laurie had a lot of parallels- normal people whos addictions sucked them into worlds that seemed far removed from their lives but were existing so closely to their own that their addictions tipped them into them.

Lexi: Your name is Patrick!?

Fezco: ...what did you think my name was?

Lexi: like not 'Patrick O'Neil'? Like did a Leprechaun name you? Did JK Rowling name you?

Fezco: too far Lexi, you know we don't mention Voldermorts name in this house

Side note- i imagine it was to honour Angus' Irish heritage

[tragedyface]

Predictions (and by predictions I mean these aren't going to happen)

Maddy & Cassie end up in jail but they love it because Maddy is running shit and Cassie can finally live outside of the male lense.

Jules goes back to art school and works with an art charity for Trans kids.

Fezco escapes jail and Lexi runs off to South America to be with him.

Rue goes into witness protection and she's been telling us all this as the 'last testament of Rue Bennett'. But the last shot will be her being offered some drugs and being like 'i am what I am'

[tragedyface]

Faye: This is Wayne

Wayne: Yo, wa-

Fezco: Absolutely not Faye. Get your Nazi ass out of my store

[tragedyface]

Lexi is wearing so many retro prints to feel like she's back in Fezcos living room.

[tragedyface]

The sequence/montage where Rue says she loves Jules and its them in all these representations of love in art got me wondering what Lexi and Fezco's sequence would look like.

Fezco: I love Lexi.

*LL Cool J feat. Boyz II Men – 'Hey Lover' plays over it*

[tragedyface]

Ashtray: sit down, we're having a house meeting

Fez: 'bout what?

Ashtray: *dopy impression of Fez* "'bout what?" About you and Lexi fucking all over the damn house!

Fez: w-what are you talkin' 'bout?

Ashtray: We have cameras idiot!

Faye: Eww you were watching them!? Are you, like, one of the Jacobs kids!?

Ashtray: No! I was deletin' old footage and *bam* there's Pam & Tommy banging on the couch!

Faye: Wait...which couch?

Ashtray: Which one you think?

[tragedyface]

Lexi and Fezco watching their unintended sex tape like:

"You know what this means right?"

"...that I was right, the hair wasn' really working for me?"

"No that your brother seen, among other things, my tits!"

"Oh, shit....he probably spenin' a lot-a time on the hub, he'll forget 'em"

"My tits are forgettable?"

"I -wha'- I- that ain't wha' I'm sayin' Lexi!"

[tragedyface]

*Lexi visits Fez in prison and he has a black eye*

Lexi: oh my god! What happened!?

Fez: Nothin' too bad, it's how it is in here, new guy gets the 'attention'

Lexi: are you being bullied? Who is it?

Fezco: It's that big guy so y'know, could be a lot worse

Lexi: Hey! Hey you!

*guy looks*

Lexi: You been beating up my boyfriend!

Big Guy: *shrugs* That's prison life

Fez: Lexi, just leave it alone

Lexi: oh 'That's prison life' is it? Well we'll just see about that

*later in Fez's cell Big Guy shuffles in*

Big Guy: ....my mom says I gotta apologise to you...says your girl called her up and gave her a peice of her mind an' she don' want to be embarrassed like that again

[tragedyface]

*Lexi and Fezco in a motel in South America deciding where they're going to live*

Lexi: Venezuela is out, the US has been a little too active there as of late

Fez: Colombia's too cliche

Lexi: Peru? I feel like nobody will think of Peru. People just don't hide out in Peru

Fezco: Yeah but is that cus Peru's not good for hidin' out?

Lexi: Good point. Or is it so good for hiding out that nobody ever gets found in Peru?

Fezco: *notes it down* Peru, you is on the short list. Brazil is...I foreal wanna hide out in Brazil

Lexi: Everybody wants to hide out in Brazil. Like how do you think they caught all those Nazis?

Fezco: You right, you right.

Lexi: We need to think outside of the box...i know!

*writes Uruguay on the list*

Fezco: ...I know I was in jail for a while but I swear I saved myself for you Lexi, On God.

[tragedyface]

Fezco: Yeah imma maybe hide out in a laundry truck or change clothes with a guard or tunnel out from behind a poster of Pam Anderson. I got ideas, just not a plan yet. But yeah, I been thinkin' 'bout landin' on a farm. South America somewhere. Maybe somewhere with a thriving arts scene...

[tragedyface]

What if Fezco can draw? and in jail he takes out his sketchbook late at night and just stares at his Lexi drawings so he can fall asleep looking at her.

And there's Ashtray and Grandma then and now, Rue and Faye.

And there's one where he's drawn them all together like a family picture.

[tragedyface]

Lexi: I know you've been cheating!

Fezco: I would never!

Lexi: Don't lie to me!

Fezco: I ain't lyin'!

Lexi: Ashtray told me everything

Ashtray: Sorry bro, she was gonna find out sooner or later

Fezco: Judas!

Lexi: Did it feel good Fezco? Was it worth it?

Fezco: ...you know what? It was. For once I got to feel like the one in charge! While you 2 were fighting over the rail roads I was hustlin' on Baltic Avenue and workin' my way up in the world!

Faye: *discreetly takes 500 from the Monopoly bank while they argue*
