![]() Nate and Cal’s intent curiosity might point to a desire for their male best friends, but it also suggests a preoccupation with sex with women, keeping up appearances of straightness. Derek asks some pretty intimate questions, running parallel to the ones Nate asked McKay in that weird scene from S2E1. Cal, ascendent after receiving his first blowjob, eagerly tells Derek the details. Later, Cal and Derek begin to explore their sexuality with women. The gratuitous nudity is intriguing for not-yet-damaged Cal, while Nate is disgusted by his classmates’ openness. He can’t express his love for Derek beyond a bit of homoerotic wrestling and some lingering glances.Ĭal’s high school memories draw some parallels to Nate’s, like the infamous locker room scene of Nate’s episode in Season 1, appropriately named “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy.” Cal’s locker room scene is almost an exact replica with some ‘90s flair: the fit, confident athletes walk around the locker room with their dicks swinging around like it’s nothing. But Cal is a macho man, suave with his Matt Damon-inspired haircut-he’s the quintessential all-American golden boy. It’s clear their love for each other runs deep. In his senior year of high school, Cal spends every moment with his best friend, Derek. ![]() Cal’s high school flashback is straight out of the ‘90s with its deliberately grainy finish and air of lighthearted nostalgia, free of the darkness that characterizes Nate’s life.Įuphoria creator Sam Levinson says his goal in this sequence was to "allow the memories of the past to live alongside the present."

It’s like admiring a film photograph that’s yellowed at the edges. Young Cal pulls up his boxers in the morning light, warmer and more sepia-toned than the present-day scenes. Euphoria is back for another week, and what’s a better cold open than a close-up butt shot? The ass in question belongs to a seventeen or eighteen year-old Cal, played by Elias Kacavas.
