HBO’s hit drama Euphoria wrapped its second season on Sunday with a finale full of roller coaster moments. As fans still reel from the conclusion of Season 2, Javon Walton, who plays Ashtray, revealed one of the episode’s most pivotal scenes was initially supposed to end differently.

In an interview with Variety, Walton explained that Fez (Angus Cloud) was the one to get shot and killed in the original version of the script, but the shocking plot point swung in Ash’s direction the day before they shot the scene.

“And Ashtray wasn’t supposed to get shot. That was another thing,” Walton said of changes to the scripts as the season went on. “He wasn’t supposed to get shot! It was Fez that was supposed to get shot at first, which is crazy. And then, like a day before, they changed the storyline to me getting shot.”
