Sydney Sweeney as Cassie in 'Euphoria' Season 2 has taken her acting to another level. The character has been spiraling by the episode and with Nate (Jacob Elordi) and Maddy (Alexa Demie) shown to have feelings for each other again, she loses control and has a major meltdown. What stunned Twitter was the acting that Sweeney brought to the table.

Nate shows up at Maddy's birthday party and sees Cassie start drinking heavily. To further mess with Nate, she changes into a bikini and the group decides to do a hot tub session. Nate is asked about his relationship with Maddy where he denies and gets into an argument with her where she also reminds him about the time that he wanted to have kids with Maddy. At this point, Cassie pukes it all out.
