“Euphoria” deals with various issues that teens face, and relationships are one of the most intriguing aspects of the show. In the second season, viewers see a changed Nate Jacobs, who finds himself trapped in a wave of romantic feelings. While Nate has been with Maddy for a long time, an affair with Cassie turns into something serious. However, Cassie and Maddy being best friends creates a complicated situation for Nate. If you’re wondering which of the two girls Nate will end up with, here are our theories on the matter! SPOILERS AHEAD!

Will Nate end up with Cassie or Maddy?

In the first season of “Euphoria”, Nate and Maddy are a recurring couple. At the end of Season 1, Nate and Maddy separate for good after realizing how toxic they are to each other. In season two, at the New Year’s party, Nate meets Cassie, who has recently broken up with her boyfriend, Mckay. Their first meeting sets a pattern for such connections, but neither Nate nor Cassie deals with their feelings for each other. However, it is hinted that they both have romantic feelings for each other.

In the third episode, Nate cancels his plans with Cassie and meets Maddy. The two talk and discuss the possibility of getting back together. The situation plunges Cassie into depression. Later, Rue reveals to Maddy that Cassie slept with Nate. Maddy is furious with Cassie and threatens to kill her best friend. In the sixth episode, Nate talks to Maddy and closes the door on a patch-up between the two. At the end, Nate invites Cassie to his house, implying that he wants to have a real relationship with her.

So far in season two, Nate has spent most of his time bouncing between Maddy and Cassie. The latest development seems to hint that Nate is ready to commit to a relationship with Cassie. Previously, we see him having visions of a future with Cassie, and he seems to have genuine feelings for her. However, Nate is also afraid of how Maddy will react upon finding out about him and Cassie. Therefore, Nate keeps things between him and Cassie casual.

On the other hand, for a while it looks like Nate and Maddy will continue their toxic pattern in the second season and reunite. However, in the sixth episode, Nate threatens Maddy with a gun and takes away the disc Maddy is holding. After her interaction with Nate, Maddy has a nervous breakdown. Therefore, it seems likely that she won’t cross paths with Nate again. However, Nate and Maddy have often patched things up in the past despite big differences. Therefore, the possibility of Nate ending up with Maddy cannot be completely ruled out.

For now, it looks like Nate will end up with Cassie. Nate’s feelings for Cassie stem from their mutual admiration for each other. In contrast, Nate’s feelings for Maddy seem to stem from fear. In the sixth episode of season 2, Nate overcomes these feelings to some extent. As a result, he is ready to start a relationship with Cassie. However, it remains to be seen if things between Nate and Cassie will work out.
