His charm, compassion, and undying loyalty only become more apparent with each passing episode and remain true until the end. Throughout season two, the depth of Fezco's character is slowly revealed. In her final monologue, Rue says she's not sure if Jules was her first love or not because she was high for too much of their relationship to know for sure, but she hopes Jules will forgive her for what she put her through. Rue wordlessly kisses Jules's forehead and walks away, and the last we see of Jules is her left in tears in the auditorium. Whether it's because she still can't forgive Jules for telling her mother about her substance use, that she senses Jules hooked up with Elliott, or that she just knows a relationship isn't good for her sobriety at the moment, Rue is still unable to rekindle her friendship with Jules. Jules's love for Rue shows in this moment because even though she knows taking that action will be unforgivable in Rue's eyes, she tells Leslie anyway because she can't bear the thought of something bad happening to her.Īfter giving Rue space, Jules finally approaches her at the end of the finale and expresses her love for her once more. After learning of Rue's concerning substance use from Elliot in episode four, Jules makes the decision to tell Rue's mother, Leslie. Jules goes through a lot with Rue this season. While Rue reveals she stays clean until the end of her junior year in high school, her monologue at the end of the finale suggests she's uncertain about the future of her sobriety but that she'll continue to try to stay clean.Īfter a tumultuous two seasons, at least there is finally a glimmer of hope for our Rue. We witnessed Rue at her lowest this season, and it's a breath of fresh air to see her clean. She knows she can't keep carrying the pain of her dad's death around with her if she wants to stay clean and sober. She goes on to tell Lexi that she wants to find something to channel her pain into that's not drugs, like Lexi has with her playwriting. When they discuss it over the phone later, Rue tells Lexi that watching it was the first time she could look at everything that's happened in her life and not hate herself. Unlike Lexi's sister, Cassie, Rue loves Lexi's school play. It's clear she's clean - a sight for sore eyes after the early episodes of the season where she was consuming large amounts of substances.

In the finale, we see Rue like we've never seen her before: bright-eyed and with freshly washed hair tied up in a ponytail.
