Before we get started, who else is excited for You, season 4? What I love about it is that it's going to be presented in two parts - February 13th and March 10th. As someone who recently started this substack to discuss pop culture and entertainment, I was worried Netflix would drop all the episodes at once and I wouldn't know when to start discussing unsure if folks were behind or not. I'm personally team-binge and would have been tempted to watch all the episodes one night. Phew!
The new season was filmed in Europe (specifically Paris and London) and one of the main characters (Lukas Gage) is from White Lotus season 1. After I watched the trailer more than a few times, it got me thinking about how You season 3 ended the loopholes they probably thought we forgot about. I understand the characters Peach, Beck, Forty, and Love Quinn is gone thanks to Joe, But I want to jog everyone's memory before the new season. And if you aren’t in the mood to rewatch it, this will speed you up. Let's dive in ...
Who stalks Joe in the new season? Ellie, Theo, or Love Quinn
Ellie:
Joe killed Ellie's sister (Delilah). And because he feels bad for it, he continued to send her money from the profits of the book he stole from Beck, anonymously so she can get by. It's not ruled out that she will make an appearance in the new season. Jenna Ortega is a rising new Hollywood star so she has to make a debut - right? Here's to hoping!
Theo:
It was Love Quinn that had an affair with him while Joe was obsessing over his boss. But she also knocked Theo over the head with a fire extinguisher and he tumbled down the stairs. From that, he bonded with his father and is last seen leaving the hospital alive. I have a strong feeling he may make an appearance in season 4
Love Quinn:
A couple of seasons back, Love mentioned that she's always wanted to bake in Paris and learn new techniques for cooking. She was the one who also attempted to kill Joe with her self-made paralytic aconite. But Joe used it on her instead and the viewers are left to think she died in the fire - doubt it. We know when it comes to Hollywood, if we don’t see the actor actually die in the tv show it means they’re actually alive. Love is too powerful of a character to vanish. Watch the new trailer of You part 1 and let me know if you agree she could be the one stalking Joe:
Additional questions we hope will be answered in S4:
Will Joe go back for his son that he left in America?
Will Marianne fight back? Or will she team up with Love
Does Ellie (Jenna Ortega) find out what really happened to her sister ?
Joe finally meets his match and he can’t fathom to see his wife live an identical life to his. He can loose his temper and kill out of of love and lust, but when Love Quinn kills it means she’s jealous or deranged. I’d like to unpack that. Let’s discuss - and feel free to leave a comment below
