🚨🚨🚨Massive You Season 3 spoilers ahead! Huge! 🚨🚨🚨
Alright, You Season 3 is officially out on Netflix — and it's safe to say that the ending was just as wacky and weird as the series before it.
So, if you're still emotionally processing the final episode (hi), here are some small details that show the ending wasn't quite so random:
1. Love only actually touches the knife that (sorta) poisons Joe while wearing an oven mitt, hinting that something may be amiss.
2. The final shirt Love wears is reminiscent of the final shirt his mother is seen to be wearing this season. This isn't the only clothing link between Joe's mother and his love interest in the show — there was a similar reference to Joe's mom with Beck via clothing in Season 1.
3. The way that Love talks about her husband's death in Season 2, Episode 1 seems to point to the reveal that it was Love who killed her husband. She even tells Joe, "Ever since it happened, I've been able to see this thing in people who've been through it. I see that every time I look in your eyes. You've felt it: real love, real loss."
4. It is fitting that the final meal Love makes Joe is a roast chicken, given that it's the first meal she cooks him.
5. Of course, Love dies via Aconite, aka Wolf's Bane — especially poignant given that the couple used to say "I wolf you" to one another.
6. Matthew discovers that Theo is at St. Benedict's hospital while Joe is fake-paralyzed. There is a story of monks attempting to kill Saint Benedict by poisoning his wine, but he was able to bless the wine before drinking it. Subsequently, he's the patron saint of poisoning.
7. A mock magazine cover with Matthew shown while Joe is speaking reads, "Matthew Engler has you in the palm of his hands." He later slaps and strangles Joe.
8. Marienne's last name is Bellamy. It's possible that this is a reference to the book Bel Ami by Guy de Maupassant — which is about a man who moves to Paris and then seduces and manipulates women to social climb.
9. The first line of the final episode is a quote from a short story called "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson — a suburban story which thematically centers a scapegoat.
10. It's Love's key that frees Sherry and Cary — Joe's key is hidden within the structure of the cage, which Cary fails to find. As the letter Joe pens as Love discusses her caging the couple, Sherry finds the key that Love hid.
11. Finally, the café Joe is at in Paris is called "Le Chasseur Solitaire," which translates to "The lone hunter."
