“Euphoria” ends a long-running storyline in its second-season finale. In Season 1, viewers meet drug-dealing brothers Fezco (Angus Cloud) and Ashtray (Javon “Wanna” Walton) who inadvertently get into trouble with their supplier Mouse. To protect themselves, the brothers kill Mouse, but the crime comes back to haunt them in Season 2.
In the second season finale, Fezco and Ashtray are forced to confront the police, and the situation has dire consequences for young Ashtray. If you’re looking for answers on Ashtray’s whereabouts and actor Javon “Wanna” Walton’s future on the show, we’ve got you covered! Here’s everything you need to know about it! SPOILERS AHEAD!
Is the ashtray dead?
Ashtray makes a bold move in the second-season premiere of “Euphoria” by intervening in the altercation between Mouse and Fezco. Ashtray kills Mouse, and later Fezco and Custer dump the body. After settling things with Laurie, a local drug dealer connected to Mouse, the brothers go to a New Year’s Eve party. Ashtray remains a background character for most of the second season and appears sparingly. However, a tragedy awaits the young child in the second season finale.
In the eighth episode of Season 2, titled “All My Life My Heart Has Yearned For One Thing I Can’t Name”, Fezco prepares to attend Lexi’s play. However, Custer arrives to talk about Mouse’s death. He reveals that the police have found Mouse’s body and they need to put their stories in order. However, Custer actually exposed Fezco and planned an ambush. Fearing that Custer will hurt Fezco, Ashtray makes a move and kills Custer with a knife. Fezco decides to take the blame but Ashtray barricades herself inside the bathroom with guns. When the police arrive, he opens fire on them and accidentally shoots Fezco. Fezco desperately tries to get his brother to surrender but fails. After Ashtray wounds a policeman, he is shot. Ashtray dies, leaving Fezco to mourn her loss.
Will Javon “Wanna” Walton be in Euphoria Season 3?
Actor Javon “Wanna” Walton plays Ashtray in “Euphoria.” After appearing in a recurring capacity during the first season, Walton is considered a series regular in season 2. However, it seems the young actor’s time on the show ended with his character’s tragic demise. Walton’s Ashtray is a fan-favorite character, and while viewers find it hard to believe the character is dead, it appears to be. Even if we don’t see Ashtray die, a child being shot in the head would be too dark a sequence, even for a show like “Euphoria.”
Therefore, we have no doubt that Ashtray is gone. While Ashtray’s death comes as a major surprise, it could have long-lasting repercussions for Fezco’s life, opening the door to further conflict for the friendly drug dealer. As for Walton, the actor is slated to appear next in the superhero flick “Samaritan” opposite Sylvester Stallone and in the third season of Netflix’s “The Umbrella Academy.” “Euphoria” has been renewed for a third season, and since Ashtray is an integral part of Fezco’s arc, Walton could reprise her role in flashback scenes. However, as it stands, it looks like the second season finale will mark Walton’s final appearance on the show.
