season 2 has come to a close. But not before the cast opened up to ET about the unexpected ending, which “feels like the end of days,” Jacob Elordi said. “It’s madness.”The finale, “All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name” written and directed by creator Sam Levinson, picked up immediately following episode 7’s cliffhanger, which saw Maddy (Alexa Demie), Jules (Hunter Schafer), Kat (Barbie Ferreira) and a recently sober Rue (Zendaya) all having various, bemused reactions to Lexi’s (Maude Apatow) provocative play while Nate (Elordi) walked out and Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) was left fuming.Not only that, but one seat in the audience remained empty as Fezco’s (Angus Cloud) whereabouts remained unclear.

The missing half of Fexi was last seen getting ready at his apartment where there was mounting tension between Ashtray (Javon Walton), Faye (Chloe Cherry) and Custer (Tyler Chase), who was wearing a wire in hopes of narcing on Fez.

The episode opens with Fez letting Lexi know that he’s on his way to the play when Custer wants to talk to him “about everything.” Luckily, Faye turns on her boyfriend and warns Fez not to reveal anything while also trying to frame Laurie (Martha Kelly), the drug dealer that almost kidnapped Rue at one point.

However, before Fez can convince Custer to agree on what happened at the beginning of season 2, Ashtray kills him. This all brings the premiere episode, which explored Fex and Ashtray’s childhood, full circle. “I was super excited,” Cloud told ET of the flashback that explored his past with his grandmother (played by Kathrine Narducci in the season 2 premiere). “It just shows all of the back stories and explanations for why the characters are who they are today.” Even.
