Euphoria S3E4 Recaps Rue DEA Informant Role, Club Heist

HBO's Euphoria Season 3 Episode 4, titled "Kitty Likes to Dance," aired Sunday on the network and its streaming service, advancing key character arcs amid escalating tensions and personal reinventions.

The episode opens with Rue, played by Zendaya, pulled over by Drug Enforcement Administration agents who find drugs in her car. Facing up to 20 years in prison, she accepts their offer to work undercover as an informant against strip club owner Alamo, portrayed by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. Equipped with a bugged phone, Rue returns to the Silver Slipper club to pitch a major drug deal. Alamo grows suspicious of her behavior, mistaking it for relapse into drug use, but she deflects for the moment. Rue later intervenes to rescue new stripper Kitty from a compromising situation in a private room. The segment culminates in a robbery by masked gunmen wearing Barack Obama masks, who raid the safe, hold staff at gunpoint, shoot security guard Big Eddy in the stomach and flee. Reviewing security footage, Rue identifies getaway driver Faye, linking the heist to Alamo's rival Laurie.

Laurie, played by Martha Kelly, earlier holds a funeral for her pet cockatoo Paladin, poisoned last episode...
