One fan theory paints a dark ending for Elliot. YouTuber Turtle with an Appetite made a video about Elliot's possible impending death. "Not sure if it's this season or another, but he's totally gonna die," said the Euphoria fan.
Turtle with an Appetite believes Elliot and Rue's conversation in season two, episode two about whether there's a stronger emotion than love (Rue's answer, "Loss") serves as foreshadowing. They think Elliot's death may be necessary for Rue's addiction storyline and overall character development. If Elliot overdoses, it would be a full-circle moment for Rue, who Elliot is there for when she thinks she's overdosing in the season two premiere.
Another fan theory from TikTok furthers the "Elliot has to die theory." They believe clips of Rue and Elliott dancing in season two Euphoria promos foreshadow Elliot's death because they mimic the scene of Rue dancing with her father in season one.
Watch Euphoria on HBO Sundays at 9 PM ET to find out how Elliot's story unfolds.
