Euphoria Season 3 is getting even more gruesome as things took a bloody turn in its latest episode, not only for Nate Jacobs’ (Jacob Elordi) toe (again), but also for Alamo’s (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) gang, particularly Bishop (Darrell Britt-Gibson) as he did dirty work for the boss, seemingly dismembering a man and feeding them to the pigs. Warning: Spoilers for Euphoria Season 3 Episode 5 ahead!
The episode, “The Little Piggy,” saw Rue (Zendaya) in a precarious position as Alamo sought answers around the robbery at the Silver Slipper, and after Magick (Rosalía) hinted that she may be in on the job, he looked to his crew to help facilitate. By the end of the episode, Bishop, G (Marshawn Lynch), and Kidd (Asante Blackk) had forced Rue to dig a hole and buried her up to her neck in the dirt.
By the time the sun was rising, Alamo rode his horse straight into the action, wielding a mallet and swinging for her head. The credits rolled before fans could see what happened next, but the danger was palpable.

It’s clear that some of the figures enjoy the work more than others, as Akinnuoye-Agbaje says, “It’s a very eclectic group of dysfunctional criminals, but they all function for him because they’re on the same page… they are to perceive any potential threat to Alamo and his empire. They execute his orders. The difference between Kidd, G, and Bishop is that Alamo understands Bishop in that he knows he actually enjoys the killing.”
That much was obvious as Bishop suited up in plastic calmly while retrieving an electric saw and telling Rue she gave him the heebie-jeebies. “There’s something about him that’s quite sick, but Alamo is willing to forego that because he knows he can use him for his own purposes,” explains Akinnuoye-Agbaje.
“Alamo recognizes there’s something quite dark about him because he actually enjoys the acts that he has to do, so he gives him the most heinous jobs. The others might get it done,” Akinnuoye-Agbaje adds of Alamo’s crew, but Bishop will “revel in joy and partake in the nastiest deaths.”
Have we seen the worst or is it still to come? We have a feeling the latter, but only time will tell. For now, Akinnuoye-Agbaje notes, “There’s a healthy respect between them because of what they can each do for the other. I can provide him with his malicious, dark, twisted fantasies. And he can provide me a level of security that I need for myself and my empire.”
