Euphoria Season 3 Episode 4 “Kitty Likes to Dance” on HBO ended with Laurie’s (Martha Kelly) gang taking revenge for the murder of Paladin. It’s a tense scene that weaves together several storylines and even makes darkly hilarious use of one of series star Chloe Cherry‘s most recognizable assets.
**Spoilers for Euphoria Season 3 Episode 4 “Kitty Likes to Dance,” now streaming on HBO Max**
The latest episode of Euphoria picked up right where last week left off, with Rue (Zendaya) getting pulled over by two DEA agents played by Hemky Madera and Bill Bodner. They corner her into agreeing to become a snitch. Rue, however, almost has her cover blown when Magick (aka Rosalía in a neck brace) overhears her asking new girl Kitty (Anna Van Patten) if anyone’s forcing her to work not only as a stripper, but as a prostitute. Rue has just witnessed CCTV footage of poor Kitty getting brutally gang-banged by a group of drunk clients — and this comes after Magick ominously explains that Angel (Priscilla Delgado) “ran away from rehab,” aka disappeared.
In the midst of Rue’s attempt to cast blame back on Magick, Laurie’s crew — headed by Wayne (Toby Wallace) and Harley (James Landry Hébert) in ghoulish Obama masks — burst into the club and hold Big Eddy (Kadeem Hardison), Rue, and Magick at gun point. Only the shellshocked Kitty seems to even notice what’s going on behind-the-scenes at the club, asking someone else if they heard a large bang.
So what happens next? How does Faye (Chloe Cherry) give Laurie’s game away? And who plays the new girl from Kansas, Kitty?
Euphoria Season 3 Episode 4 “Kitty Likes to Dance” Ending Explained: How Does Faye’s Lips Give Laurie’s Game Away?
In a tense and terrifying sequence, Wayne and Harley eventually wear Big Eddy down by first threatening the girls, huddled against each other in horror, and then by shooting him first in the gut and then threatening to blow off his genitals. A worse for wear Big Eddy eventually reveals the safe is behind the painting and opens it. Wayne and Harley exuberantly steal everything inside and leave, driving off with the help of Faye.
When Rue calls Bishop (Darrell Britt-Gibson) for aid, he ignores Big Eddy’s life-threatening injuries and asks Magick to zoom in on footage of the getaway car. She tells him that the truck has no plates and the robbers still are masked. However, Magick is able to make out that the driver is a woman with absurdly large lips.
Rue betrays herself with a glance. Magick asks if she knows this woman and Rue explains the getaway driver is a woman named Faye who works with Laurie. So, at long last, Faye’s most distinct feature becomes a literal plot point in Euphoria.
Of course, Faye isn’t the only girl drawing attention in Euphoria Season 3 Episode 4…
Who Plays Kitty in Euphoria? All About Anna Van Patten:
Kitty, the new girl who “likes to dance,” is played by American actress Anna Van Patten. Yes, she is Tell Me Lies star Grace Van Patten’s younger sister. In fact, Anna recently appeared onscreen with Grace in The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, wherein she played her sister’s, uh, sister, Deanna Knox.
Anna Van Patten has also appeared in HBO Max’s Gossip Girl reboot, a The Kid Laroi music video, and an episode of FBI: Most Wanted. However, her scene-stealing turn as an eager stripper who soon experiences some of the worst the Silver Slipper has to offer is probably her splashiest role to date.
