‘Euphoria’ Star Martha Kelly Breaks Down Laurie’s Deadly Decision in Series Finale
Martha Kelly says Laurie chose death over prison after the DEA surrounded her and the scene used stunt performer Lisa Dempsey for the rooftop action.
In the Euphoria Season 3 finale, Laurie makes a deadly choice to escape the DEA, scaling her farmhouse roof and jumping rather than facing capture.
Martha Kelly explains that Laurie, a sociopath and narcissist, dreads the powerlessness of prison, fearing she would be targeted for her alleged involvement in human trafficking.
Stunt person Lisa Dempsey performed the roof running while Kelly filmed close-ups, with Kelly calling the shooting "really fun, weirdly" despite finding the suicide plot disturbing.
Picking a fight with Alamo, an extremely dangerous person, proved fatal for Laurie; her actions, including the death of Paladin, led to the confrontation that ended her story.
Euphoria often portrays a world without justice, where characters like Faye and Wayne escape consequences, which Kelly contrasts with the tragic death of Rue.
