'Euphoria' Delivers Another Must-Watch Deep Dive The second special episode of 'Euphoria' is a welcome character study of soft-spoken, adventurous trans teen Jules, played by Hunter Schafer. HBO Welcome to Previously On, a column that fills you in on our favorite returning TV shows. This week, Valerie Ettenhofer reviews Euphoria’s second special “bridge episode,” which is all about Jules. “Without, like, getting melodramatic, I’ve had a really hard six months.” This is what Jules ( Hunter Schafer) tells her therapist partway through the second Euphoria special in as many months. What an understatement. As if her relapsed, suicidal girlfriend and violent, catfishing transphobe boyfriend aren’t enough, we learn over the course of this episode that Jules has also been dealing with her addict mother and some complicated feelings about her own gender and sexuality.
