The Most Jaw Dropping Scenes From "You" Season 4 Part 1

There was no sitting on the edge of my seat, I completely fell off my chair with my mouth wide open 😱 **This is for the Editorial Fellowship**

⚠️Spoilers Ahead⚠️

Netflix

On February 9th, 2023, You season four released its first five episodes on Netflix and it didn’t disappoint! This season takes place in London and it seems that the more Joe tries to distance himself from his problems, the crazier his life gets. I recommend for season five that Joe potentially moves to a remote island with only himself, books, and everything else he needs to survive. *If he doesn't already get caught and go to jail, I mean.*

Netflix

During my session of binge watching this season of You, there were a couple of scenes in part one that truly shocked me. The show tends to have twists and turns but we've never seen any like these before. The scenes show how You continues to push the envelope and take the story to new heights every season.

The gory details

Netflix

Episode one? Really, I wasn't expecting to see what I saw in episode one. When Joe woke up with a dead body on his kitchen table, I was confident that he did it. I had predicted a Norman Bates-inspired season because it was convenient that he had blacked out the night before and just woke up with no recollection of murdering Malcolm.

As the episode continued, I started to believe Joe when he said he didn't do it. It was only when he decided to get rid of the body that I saw the 'old' Joe return. What ultimately had my jaw on the floor though was the scene when Joe had to break down Malcolm's body for disposal. I like to think that I have a strong stomach but even I got a little queasy watching each body part hit the ground...

When Joe became the victim of stalking

Netflix

As mentioned earlier, I assumed Joe was the killer. I would be proven wrong as I was shocked to see at the end of episode one that the killer sent Joe an anonymous message. I enjoyed this twist because it was different from what we've seen already on the show. It was different seeing Joe portrayed as a somewhat normal protagonist potentially going to be framed for murders he didn't commit. *At least this time he didn't commit them.*

Letting her go

Netflix

When Joe found Marienne, I just knew her days were numbered. So, when she saw Joe and ran away I was literally yelling at the TV "girl you better run!" Of course, Joe used his many years of experience to outsmart her, finding her immediately. Marienne didn't just give up either, she came prepared and ready to fight! Joe on the other hand wasn't ready for the heartbreak. He ultimately set her free literally and figuratively but I'm just wondering how that storyline will play out because I know it's not over yet.

Jate (Joe/Johnathan and Kate)

Netflix

The biggest aspect of the show is the relationships that Joe creates with women. It's what makes Joe the stalker and murderer that he is but Kate almost seems different. I hate to say this but it's almost like Joe truly loves and respects Kate. It's weird because we've seen in past seasons how Joe is infatuated with the women he comes in contact with but with Kate, it's like he is actually trying to protect her from the men in her life including himself. I'm not sure where their relationship will go this season but it's almost like the series wants Joe to actually end up in a normal, healthy relationship which I think is going to be far from the truth but I guess we'll see.

Peasant hunting

Netflix

Roald almost shooting Joe during their hunting excursion and throwing him out the window was crazy enough but the peasant hunting scene passed crazy and went into the insanity lane. I genuinely had three suspects on my list who I thought were the Eat The Rich Killer. Roald was at the top of that list! The sequence of events that took place during their country getaway was horrendous but Roald essentially used his name, money, and power to convince his friends that Joe was the killer and he had every right to hunt Joe down with a gun. Only, the hunt didn't end favorably for either.

Eat The Rich Killer revealed

Netflix

I don't want to give this away as I think you should watch the show for this reveal. Though, I gotta say the person that it is was not the shocking part but more of their motive and obsession with Joe. I also would've thought that the show wouldn't reveal the killer to us just yet and make us wait for part two. I do think it was smart to introduce the killer early because now the next set of episodes will be about catching that person and showing the world their true intentions.

Questions for Part 2:

- Is Love still alive?: The trailer showed Victoria Pedretti, who played Love Quinn. The last time we saw her, it was in a house that was burning down. It could be a lookalike or a flashback but no matter what I'm ready for what she brings to the next episodes!

- Who else will die?: With a killer on the loose and many already getting murdered, it makes you wonder who will be next and by whose hand...

- Will Joe finally crack?: Joe is fighting the feelings he has for Kate, letting go of Marienne, and possibly getting confronted by his ex-wife, Love. He is also battling it out with the Eat The Rich killer. By the end of this season, will he make it out alive and be able to create a new life all over again?!
