Nate is no hero.
Euphoria season 2 is so focused on redeeming Nate Jacobs and making him a hero that it doesn't realize that's not necessary for his character in the first place. Nate Jacobs, played by Jacob Elordi, has always been one of the worst out of Euphoria's many characters, from his catfishing and blackmailing of Jules to his abusive and toxic behavior towards ex-girlfriend Maddy .
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While Elordi turns in a great performance as Nate, the writing around his character has caused many to question why the show wants audiences to sympathize with him. Instead of making Nate a villain, which he very much is, Euphoria is insistent on trying to dig deeper into Nate but inadvertently falls into harmful tropes like conflating confusion around one's sexuality with violent and abusive behavior.
This heel turn, coupled with Euphoria season 2's efforts to make Cal sympathetic, ultimately came together to send a mixed message in the finale. From the inconsistent characterization of both Nate and Cal to the confusing plot twist of Nate turning in him, the story about the Jacobs family ultimately amounted to a big question mark. Nate is no hero for turning his father in - he's merely doing the right thing, something that is certainly out of character for him.
Euphoria's focus on Nate and the Jacobs family looks set to continue in season 3. Cal actor Eric Dane has commented that there is some potential redemption for his character in the next batch of episodes and, like creator Sam Levinson's fascination with Cassie, Nate has always been a focus of the show.
