Short recap focused on Rue’s relapse and the winter formal (Season 1):
- Setup: Rue Bennett returns to East Highland after rehab and narrates the season. She reconnects with Jules Vaughn and their relationship deepens.
- Relapse: Rue secretly relapses into opioid use and hides it from friends and family while trying to maintain her new romance and normal life. Her addiction and secrecy drive much of her behavior and decisions throughout the season.
- Winter formal / finale: The season builds toward the winter formal and the holidays. In the finale, Rue overdoses around Christmas. Jules leaves town, and the season ends with Rue walking home alone — a stark, unresolved moment that highlights the cost of her relapse and sets up the uncertainty for what comes next.
