## Title
The episode's title reproduces the English translation of a French phrase, "Vous qui ne voyez pas pensez à ceux qui voient," printed on leaflets (papillons) circulated in Paris by the Bureau de recherches surréalistes in 1924–25.[4](https://libmma.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/api/collection/p16028coll12/id/18919/download) The Surrealists posted these leaflets, printed with provocative statements and their headquarters' address, to draw curious readers into chance encounters with the movement.[4](https://libmma.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/api/collection/p16028coll12/id/18919/download) The phrase appears alongside other leaflet slogans such as "You with souls of lead, melt it into Surrealist gold," in materials held by the [Metropolitan Museum of Art](https://www.edgepedia.org/metropolitan-museum-of-art)'s Thomas J. Watson Library.[4](https://libmma.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/api/collection/p16028coll12/id/18919/download)
## Plot
The episode cuts among three major storylines.[2](https://graphicpolicy.com/2022/01/31/tv-review-euphoria-s2e4-you-who-cannot-see-think-of-those-who-can/)
**Rue, Jules, and Elliot.** The episode opens with Rue reflecting on her love for Jules through a montage in which the pair re-enact famous artworks and film scenes, including [Frida Kahlo](https://www.edgepedia.org/frida-kahlo)'s self-portrait, *[The Birth of Venus](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-birth-of-venus)*, *Titanic*, and *Brokeback Mountain*.[7](https://www.thereviewgeek.com/euphoria-s2e4review/) • [2](https://graphicpolicy.com/2022/01/31/tv-review-euphoria-s2e4-you-who-cannot-see-think-of-those-who-can/) Because Rue is heavily intoxicated on the drugs she is supposed to be selling, she cannot feel anything and fakes an orgasm; Jules notices the performance and turns to Elliot for advice, which leads to the two kissing.[7](https://www.thereviewgeek.com/euphoria-s2e4review/) • [8](https://uproxx.com/tv/euphoria-season-2-episode-4-questions/) After a joyride in which Rue drinks alcohol and lashes out at Jules, she returns home, takes pills from the suitcase, and hallucinates a church where Labrinth, in a cameo, sings to her while holding her; the vision shifts to her dancing with and being embraced by her late father.[2](https://graphicpolicy.com/2022/01/31/tv-review-euphoria-s2e4-you-who-cannot-see-think-of-those-who-can/) • [8](https://uproxx.com/tv/euphoria-season-2-episode-4-questions/) Elliot, who has been doing drugs with Rue, comes clean to Jules about her relapse.[7](https://www.thereviewgeek.com/euphoria-s2e4review/)
**Maddy's birthday party.** Cassie, guilt-ridden over her secret relationship with Nate, spirals at her best friend Maddy's birthday party: she drinks heavily, dances alone to [Sinéad O'Connor](https://www.edgepedia.org/sinead-oconnor)'s "Drink Before the War," and finally vomits into the hot tub in front of the party, exposing that something is wrong.[2](https://graphicpolicy.com/2022/01/31/tv-review-euphoria-s2e4-you-who-cannot-see-think-of-those-who-can/) • [9](https://www.thefloormag.com/post/euphoria-review-s2-e4-you-who-cannot-see-think-of-those-who-can) Earlier in the episode she blackmails Nate into a relationship, warning that she is crazier than Maddy and will tell her best friend everything.[7](https://www.thereviewgeek.com/euphoria-s2e4review/)
**Cal Jacobs.** With a bandaged head and drinking, Cal drives to the gay bar he frequented as a teenager and slow dances while imagining his late high school companion Derek; he is ejected after trying to wrestle patrons.[2](https://graphicpolicy.com/2022/01/31/tv-review-euphoria-s2e4-you-who-cannot-see-think-of-those-who-can/) • [7](https://www.thereviewgeek.com/euphoria-s2e4review/) He returns home, urinates in the foyer, and delivers a drunken confession to his wife and sons about his repressed sexuality before taking a family portrait from the wall and leaving, saying he will not return.[2](https://graphicpolicy.com/2022/01/31/tv-review-euphoria-s2e4-you-who-cannot-see-think-of-those-who-can/) • [7](https://www.thereviewgeek.com/euphoria-s2e4review/)
Reviewers identified grief and regret as the thread tying the storylines together: Rue grieving her father, Cal mourning the life he could not live, and Cassie apologizing for a betrayal her friends do not yet see.[9](https://www.thefloormag.com/post/euphoria-review-s2-e4-you-who-cannot-see-think-of-those-who-can) • [7](https://www.thereviewgeek.com/euphoria-s2e4review/)
## Music and recognition
Labrinth's score and a vocal cameo carry much of the episode's emotional weight, particularly in the church hallucination sequence, where his song "I'm Tired" plays as Rue walks down the church aisle.[2](https://graphicpolicy.com/2022/01/31/tv-review-euphoria-s2e4-you-who-cannot-see-think-of-those-who-can/) • [10](https://euphoria.fandom.com/wiki/You_Who_Cannot_See%2C_Think_of_Those_Who_Can) The song earned Labrinth a nomination for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics at the 2022 [Primetime Emmy Awards](https://www.edgepedia.org/primetime-emmy-awards), credited to *Euphoria* episode "You Who Cannot See, Think Of Those Who Can" on HBO/[HBO Max](https://www.edgepedia.org/hbo-max).[5](https://www.televisionacademy.com/bios/labrinth) Critics singled out the episode's visual style from Levinson and Marcell Rév and performances by Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, and [Eric Dane](https://www.edgepedia.org/eric-dane), with one recap calling it among the strongest chapters of the second season.[2](https://graphicpolicy.com/2022/01/31/tv-review-euphoria-s2e4-you-who-cannot-see-think-of-those-who-can/) • [7](https://www.thereviewgeek.com/euphoria-s2e4review/)
