Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer Features a Topless Scene, While Lexi Remains a Virgin
Before Euphoria hosted the highly anticipated wedding for Cassie and Nate, Hunter Schafer made a return with a bold nude scene — and it was revealed that another character was a virgin.
In the episode that aired on Sunday, April 26, a flashback sequence took viewers to Jules’ art school days, where her roommate encouraged her to date affluent men for financial support. This path led Jules to drop out of school, as her lifestyle became funded by a particular client who turned into her sole sugar daddy.
A particularly provocative scene featured Jules undressing before her client, who then wrapped her in cellophane. In another part of the episode, Jules met with Cal (Eric Dane) and they reminisced about their past. Cal shared updates after his arrest, which included accepting a plea deal and the requirement to register as a sex offender.
The wedding of Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate (Jacob Elordi) served as a reunion for many characters — though Rue (Zendaya) was absent due to a business call. In her car, she received a phone call from Fez (Angus Cloud) before making a stop at Laurie’s. Back at the wedding, Lexi (Maude Apatow) made a remark to Jules that indicated she was a virgin.
Jules’ return to the series follows Sweeney’s, 28, previous nude scene. Cassie’s transition into creating adult content for subscribers included her filming various photo shoots, from topless shots while licking ice cream to wearing a skin-tight shirt featuring the American flag, and even role-playing as an adult baby.
“Cassie was the kind of girl you dream of signing. Gorgeous — yet lost,” Rue expressed in a voiceover. “So eager for attention that she would do anything to get it.”
Prior to Euphoria returning for season 3 earlier this month, Sweeney discussed her changing relationship with her body in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly — a journey that inspired her lingerie brand, Syrn.
“Having big breasts since sixth grade, I never felt confident,” Sweeney shared with Us. “I always struggled to find anything that made me feel good, and my instinct was to hide. It wasn’t until I portrayed Cassie in Euphoria that I realized embracing confidence and celebrating our bodies is empowering.”
Sweeney recounted her struggles with finding the right fit.
“I’d often think, ‘This fit isn’t right,’” she noted. “‘I don’t have the support I desire; the straps hurt my shoulders or it feels itchy and rides up.’” She added, “I created a Pinterest board of countless inspiration photos and thought, ‘I should make this happen.’ And thus, we brought it to life.”
She continued, “That’s why I wanted to create these diverse worlds,” she explained, “So fans can authentically choose how they want to feel, whether at the start or the end of the day.”
Euphoria airs on HBO Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
