Like, damn!” When he first found out about the scene, he was “excited”: “I thought it was what needed to happen. “I was like, ‘Damn, he over-killed him!’” Cloud says, grinning. As everyone else at the heaving house party counts down to midnight, Fez takes a bottle to Nate’s head and then relentlessly smashes his face in while he’s lying on the floor. In the explosive scene, Fez rings in the New Year by getting brutal revenge on high-schooler Nate (Jacob Elordi), who tipped off the cops about Fez’s operation at the end of season one, leading to a raid on his home. Nothing, he says, has surprised him so far in the three episodes that have aired before we speak but, given how the energy in his voice shifts when he mentions it, watching his big moment at the end of episode one excited him. “We filmed for nine months, so the script was always changing, and it’s been so long since we filmed that sometimes I forget how everything happens.” He says he’s yet to see them all – “my manager doesn’t let me watch the entire season,” he revealed one week – so he’s watching it with eyes almost as fresh as the fans’.
