Season 4 of Netflix's "You" turned the story of the previous three seasons upside down, with Joe (Penn Badgley) meeting and obsessing over a woman, turning Joe (now Professor Jonathan Moore) from stalker to being stalked. In London, where he has somehow managed to get a job as a professor, Joe-Slash-Jonathan befriends the snobbish and wealthy London elite and watches in horror as they turn up dead (in one case on Joe's own kitchen table). Marienne is not yet out of sight, but the cast of "You" Season 4 includes a number of new characters that are both British and nightmarish. While we wait for the rerun of Season 4 Part 2, here is a commentary on the conclusion of "You" Season 4 Part 1.

Surprisingly (but thankfully), Marienne seems to have really run away from Joe. After arriving in Paris to track her down at the end of Season 3 (opens in new tab), Joe learned from another artist that Marienne was headed to an art fair in London. He followed her and chased his shocked ex-lover through the crowds and cornered her in an abandoned building. Marienne guessed at that point that Joe had indeed killed her ex-husband Ryan and ex-wife Love, and he confessed to everything. However, he wanted to prove that all his past actions were done out of concern for her safety, so he sent her home to Paris and Juliette.

Shortly thereafter, while Marienne was still in London, Joe learned that he was being pursued by detectives sent by the Quinn family. He did not believe Joe was dead and wanted to make it right as revenge for Love's death. Luckily for Joe, the hit man Elliot was tired of killing and offered to set Mark free under his new identity in exchange for the property Joe had stolen before he killed Love.

Elliot did not want the case to end unresolved and ordered Joe to kill Marienne. Joe follows Marienne to the station, but rejects Elliot's plan. Instead, he steals her necklace and sends a picture of it to Elliot as evidence. All of this happened as a flashback to before Joe used a fake identity to become Jonathan Moore. So, for now, Marienne is safe and will remain so unless Joe decides to go to Paris in part 2. Hopefully she will take Ellie with her and disappear without incident.

Of all Joe's new super-rich "friends," Phoebe is the biggest surprise. Of the rude, snobbish, near-sociopathic clique, this famous socialite and her best friend Kate are the only kind ones, and Lady Phoebe is genuinely sweet. She also tends to be a bit sheltered and trusting of the worst people, including her American boyfriend, Adam. By the time "Eat the Rich Killer" becomes a household name, Phoebe is much more concerned that she still feels distant from Adam, who is also the worst person.

While Joe and Kate are dealing with something more serious (which I'll explain later), Phoebe interrupts them to complain about finding Adam getting friendly with a "servant." Joe confesses to Adam's piss-playing perversity to get her to leave, and Adam and Phoebe attempt an awkward intimacy, but it is clear that Adam is not into it and they eventually break up. It was clear to Phoebe that Adam and Phoebe were not equals, though. Judging by the glimpse of a crying Phoebe in the Part 2 teaser, the couple will likely be stuck again in future episodes.

Art gallerist Kate has been through a lot since Joe Goldberg/Jonathan Moore rolled into town. Her boyfriend Malcolm was Eat the Rich Killer's first victim (his body was disposed of by Joe, but she doesn't know that), and her most famous artist, Simon Sue, was his second. Then, while hanging out with other friends at Phoebe's country house, he enters the room to find another friend, Gemma, bleeding on the floor. Thus, Joe finds Kate at the beginning of episode 5, kneeling beside the body and holding a knife.

Of course, Kate says she didn't kill Gemma, and Joe believes her (partly because they've been dating since last week, and partly because Joe was already en route to falling for the murderer.) The two decide to work together to handle the crime scene, and in the process they convince each other they They decide to work together to handle the crime scene, and in the process, they gradually become attracted to each other, convinced that they are not the murderers. Their country getaway ends in chaos, but when they return to London, Kate is completely smitten with Joe and tries to ask him out on a date. And he refuses.

In other words, Joe knows he is getting himself into a very dangerous game with Rhys and wants Kate to be safe. Given Joe's track record, his noble attempts to stay away from her probably won't last long in Part 2. In addition to that, Kate will have to deal with her father, a real industry tycoon who sent security guards to protect her once the "Eat The Rich Killer" incident hit the news. It is clear that Kate is afraid of her father, so it is highly likely that he will make an appearance before Kate's time in "You" is over.

Throughout the weekend at Hampsbridge House, Jo is involved in a hostile dance with Roald, one of Kate's hunting friends who clearly has a crush on her. Roald had been trying to get Joe out of the group from the moment they met, and Joe landed Roald as the prime suspect for stalking. After all, Roald must have had a motive to kill everyone who ever died (except Phoebe's bodyguard, Vic, R.I.P.) in order to help Kate in some way. In a very accurate reversal, Roald suspects Joe for the same reason, but would rather push Joe out the window than look for concrete evidence.

While Joe is alone in the pantry dealing with Gemma, Roald catches Joe leaning over a corpse, pistol in hand. The nobleman takes Joe before the rest of the clique, minus Kate and Phoebe, and gives him a quick trial, accusing him of being Eat the Rich Killer. Roald convinces Sophie, Blessing, and Adam that he is the killer, but everyone is still high-strung and awful, and Adam is angry at Joe for revealing his fetish to Phoebe.

With that said, Roald makes the first move to escape before Joe corners him. After a chase in the woods (which Joe calls "Guy Ritchie's 'The Crown'"), Joe manages to disarm and strangle Rhys. As both men are exhausted, someone approaches and picks up a gun, which stuns Joe. Eat the Rich Killer reveals himself.

It turns out that the rags-to-riches memoirist has been killing his friends at a posh college all along. When Joe wakes up and finds him chained in the mansion's dungeon with Roald, he confesses to doing so and tells them that he is Joe's stalker. As the next step in his plan, Reese wants Joe to frame Roald for Eat the Rich's murder and kill him so that he cannot claim innocence. Joe is instantly disgusted and "disappointed" in Reese, but continues the ruse of pretending to be on Reese's side, leaving him to somehow kill Roald while the killer remains in chains.

Joe appears to have outwitted Rhys, but the killer may have finally met another killer more cunning than himself. When Reese returns, he finds Joe trying to break out of prison, and in a fit of rage, ETRK reveals that he knew Joe was faking and that Joe is trying to fight his true nature as a killer. Disappointed, Rhys sets fire to the room and leaves the two men to die. This was after Joe had invited him to find him when he returned to London.

Since there is a second half of the season, Joe breaks free of the chains and, after some hesitation, also breaks free of Roald's restraints. Kate (more on her later) goes out through the basement door to rescue them, but Rhys is nowhere to be found. Later, back in London, Joe does not receive a new unknown message. Instead, he watches television, where Rhys announces his candidacy for Mayor of London. Now Joe knows who he will face in the coming episodes.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter (opens in new tab), creator Sera Gamble teased what lies ahead for Joe and Rhys in Part 2." The season was very nicely divided for us. The first half was solving the mystery of the killer. And part two is the story of Joe and Rhys. And part two is about Joe and Reese's relationship." He's solved the mystery, and now the question is, how do they actually solve the problem?"
