SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “In God We Trust,” the Season 3 finale of “Euphoria,” now streaming on HBO Max.
Alamo Brown lives up to his name in the Season 3 finale of “Euphoria.” After fighting off enemies from all sides — from the DEA to a Nazi drug gang to traitorous employees — he eventually falls, shot dead in a strip club last stand. Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) isn’t the only big death in the supersized episode, which appears to wrap up the stories of Rue (Zendaya), Cassie (Sydney Sweeney), Maddy (Alexa Demie) and co.
In the penultimate episode of Sam Levinson’s high school drama turned Western crime caper, Alamo sends Rue back to Laurie’s (Martha Kelly) house to reclaim the goods her crew stole from his safe. Rue discovers the money is gone, but she is able to smuggle out a stack of passports and identification cards that belonged to Alamo — incriminating evidence of his sex trafficking enterprise.
Rue barely makes it out alive, but Alamo decides he no longer has use for her. He’s kept the DEA at bay (for now), and he knows Rue is a rat, pulled in by the feds to collect evidence against Alamo and Laurie. (If he hadn’t been sure before, Maddy — while she and Alamo are in a hot tub — confirms his suspicions, with an off-handed reference to Rue talking about the DEA.)
