There's still a lot of things the show did not bother to explicitly explain.

Season 2 of Euphoria had a lot of storylines omitted or being intentionally left vague, but the relationship between Jules and Elliot has always been a subject of heated debates.

Throughout the season, Rue and Jules appear to let a third person into their relationship for some reason, with the show introducing us to Elliot — a mediocre high school musician who is also into drugs and does not like to label his sexuality. The trio engages in weird stuff, truth-or-daring each other, and Jules and Rue clearly using Elliot instead of directly communicating their feelings to each other.

At some point, things go wrong. We get to know that Jules has sex addiction, and she does share a couple of intimate moments with Elliot while Rue is not there. But did these two actually sleep together?

In the show, we only see a montage of character scenes where Jules is sitting naked on Elliot's bed — something that heavily implies that something happened between the two. However, there are people who believe it was just a part of their bizarre relationship and Jules did not cheat on Rue like that.

Those who believe they did sleep together are just confident that there was nothing that could hold them back. Those who disagree argue that, since it's Euphoria, such a scene would have been shown, which is a reasonable argument given that this show has never shied away from explicit scenes.

"They crossed multiple lines and definitely fooled around, but my memory is Jules is ready to and Elliot recognizes that and confesses Rue's been using and he's been a part of it," Redditor didosfire said.

Still, even the fact that Euphoria never showed anything like that does not stop people from believing that nothing prevented Elliot and Jules from doing the deed. After all, the friendship among the trio clearly had a lot of benefits, if you know what we mean, and it's pretty unlikely that someone with a sex addiction would just hang around a person they clearly fancy naked and sit on their bed.

The show never made it clear anyway, and odds that creator Sam Levinson will address it in the third season are pretty low — although there's always hope. The premiere date for season 3, which has already been greenlit by HBO, is yet to be announced.
