Joe Goldberg is Back!

The first episode of You season 4 opens with Joe Goldberg (played by Penn Badgley) in a new city, trying to start a new life. He’s changed his name to Will Bettelheim and has moved to a small town in the Pacific Northwest called Madre Linda. He’s working in a bookstore and trying to keep a low profile, but we all know that’s not going to last for long.

As he’s walking through the town, he spots a woman named Natalie (played by Michaela McManus) and becomes immediately obsessed with her. He follows her to a park and watches her from afar, but when he sees her husband arrive, he realizes that he’s going to have to get rid of him if he wants to be with her.

Love Quinn is Back Too!

Meanwhile, back in Los Angeles, Love Quinn (played by Victoria Pedretti) is dealing with the aftermath of what happened in the last season. She’s still grieving the loss of her brother, and she’s also dealing with the guilt of killing their nanny, who had discovered the truth about Joe. She’s trying to keep it together for the sake of her daughter, but it’s clear that she’s struggling.

She receives a package from Joe, which includes a book that he’s written about his past. She’s shocked to read about his previous murders and realizes that he’s still out there, somewhere. She decides to hire a private investigator to track him down.

Joe’s Plan Backfires

Back in Madre Linda, Joe’s plan to get rid of Natalie’s husband doesn’t go as planned. He follows him to a bar and tries to poison him, but he accidentally poisons the wrong person. The man dies, and Joe realizes that he’s made a huge mistake.

He tries to cover up his tracks, but the police start to investigate the death. Joe becomes paranoid that he’s going to get caught, and he starts to spiral out of control.
