Additionally, what happens in EP 5 of euphoria?
In the previous episode of HBO's Euphoria, Nate tried to choke Maddy after embarrassing his family at the carnival and revealed himself to be Jules's “Tyler”. In Euphoria Season 1 Episode 5, Nate's actions had consequences as Maddy refused to see Nate's actions as abuse.
Is Nate in love with Jules?
It's possible Nate actually does have genuine feelings for Jules, but as of right now, he's unable to separate loving women from controlling them; to him, these concepts are one and the same. It's not the kind of love that Jules, or Maddy, needs. In contrast to Jules, Rue sees Nate exactly for what he is.
