The initial plan was to run away together, outpacing their troubles and starting fresh in a whole new life of their own design. In the season 1 finale, Rue watched heartbroken as Jules left on a train to the city, leaving her behind. But with Euphoria season 2 to be released sometime in the nebulous future, we can’t help but wonder what’s next for the character.
