The end is near for You<\/em>, Netflix\u2019s twisted psychological thriller. As we prepare for Season 5\u2014Joe Goldberg\u2019s final act\u2014it\u2019s a good time to revisit the wild ride that was Season 4. A lot happened, and things got darker (and more confusing) than ever. Here\u2019s a quick, clear breakdown of what went down:<\/p>\n

Season 4 starts with Joe in London, trying to escape his bloody past. He\u2019s got a new name\u2014Jonathan Moore<\/strong>\u2014and a new job as a college professor. He tells himself he wants to start fresh, live quietly, and stay out of trouble. (Of course, that never really works with Joe.)<\/p>\n

Soon, Joe falls in with a group of wealthy London elites, including Lady Phoebe<\/strong>, who takes a liking to him. But when members of the group start turning up dead, Joe becomes the prime suspect\u2014and thinks someone is framing him. He fixates on a charismatic political figure, Rhys Montrose<\/strong>, believing he\u2019s the killer.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the truth unravels: Rhys isn\u2019t real. He\u2019s a figment of Joe\u2019s imagination, a personality Joe created during one of his psychotic breaks<\/strong>. The real Rhys existed\u2014but Joe never actually knew him. All those conversations with \u201cRhys\u201d? Hallucinations. It turns out, Joe was committing the murders himself\u2014Malcolm, Simon, Gemma, and others<\/strong>\u2014without realizing it.<\/p>\n

Joe believed he had freed Marienne<\/strong>, his Season 3 obsession. But in reality, his darker self had locked her in the infamous glass cage. Nadia<\/strong>, one of Joe\u2019s students, discovered this and managed to help Marienne escape by faking her death. Joe never found out the truth.<\/p>\n

Later, Nadia and her boyfriend Edward<\/strong> uncovered evidence of Joe\u2019s crimes. Joe responded in classic Joe fashion: he killed Edward and framed Nadia<\/strong> for everything, making himself untouchable once again.<\/p>\n

Joe also killed Kate\u2019s powerful father, Tom Lockwood<\/strong>, after \u201cRhys\u201d (aka his darker self) convinced him it was the only way to be with her. Kate never learns the truth\u2014and when Joe tries to end his life out of guilt, she rescues him.<\/p>\n

The season ends with Joe fully embracing his dark side. With Kate\u2019s wealth and influence shielding him, Joe returns to New York<\/strong>, now a respected public figure instead of a man in hiding<\/strong>. But with that kind of visibility comes a whole new set of risks\u2014and enemies.<\/p>\n

With Joe no longer running from his past and instead living in plain sight, Season 5 is set to explore how far he\u2019ll go now that he\u2019s out in the open\u2014and what (or who) might finally bring him down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
