Look, Juice was a mess. He was the guy who’d screw up a simple task like “watch the door.” But he was also human. The show makes you hate him, then feel sorry for him, then laugh at him, then cry a little when he’s floating in the water. If you’re rewatching, pay attention to his eyes—Theo Rossi does a masterclass in “terrified puppy dog.” It’s hard not to feel a twinge of sympathy for a guy who just wanted to belong, even if he ruined everything to do it.
So yes, Juice dies. But he dies like he lived: badly, with a banana joke lurking in the background. Pour one out for him—or better yet, pour one out for the banana.
