Euphoria Season 3, Episode 3 centers on one of the show’s most talked-about moments yet: Nate Jacobs (played by Jacob Elordi) and Cassie Howard (played by Sydney Sweeney)’s wedding. What starts as a major turning point for the couple quickly spirals once the reception begins, pulling multiple characters into the fallout and shifting the tone of the episode. The wedding also marks one of the first times this season that the main cast shares the screen, after largely separate storylines.
“It was beautiful. I mean, the wedding was a blast to shoot,” creator Sam Levinson told TheWrap. “It’s also fairly complicated because we had so many cast members on set, but we were able to shoot it in order for the most part.”
With intense moments unfolding after the ceremony, viewers have been left wondering how it all plays out—and what it means for Nate’s fate. Below, find a full breakdown of what happens during the wedding, what goes down afterward, and whether Nate survives Season 3. Warning: This post contains spoilers.
