Joe Goldberg is taking on London with a whole new academic alias in You Season 4 . But before you jump across the pond, you’ll need to remember what went down in Madre Linda. Consider this your quick, comprehensive You Season 3 recap, cliffhangers and all.

Netflix

Season 3 began with Joe and Love uncomfortably settling down in the suburb of Madre Linda, California, with their newborn son, Henry. Although Joe was creeped out by Love murdering his exes, he stayed with her for Henry’s sake.

It didn’t take long for Joe to find a new obsession: his next-door neighbor, Natalie. However, when Love found out Joe was fixated again, she murdered her in cold blood in the basement of her new bakery.

Then, when Love discovered anti-vaxxer Gil was responsible for Henry getting measles, she bludgeoned him and locked him up in the new glass cage she and Joe built in the bakery’s basement. He died by suicide while there, so Joe and Love decided to pin Natalie’s murder on him.

With Natalie’s murder covered up, Love and Joe focused on their new obsessions. Love began getting closer with Theo, the stepson of Natalie’s husband, Matthew. After they had sex, Love felt guilty, but kept him close to get info about Matthew’s investigation of Natalie’s death.

Joe’s next object of affection was Marienne, an artistic librarian and single mother. In probing through her personal life, he discovered she’s in recovery from addiction and in a an intense custody battle with her ex, Ryan.

When Marienne told Joe that Ryan had won the custody battle by nefarious means, the baseball-capped murderer went back to his killing ways, stabbing him to death in a parking garage.

Then, Love bludgeoned Theo when he discovered the cage in her basement. Luckily, Joe was able to save him. He even directed Matthew to the hospital to take care of him, leaving the father and son as loose ends by the end of Season 3.

When Love realized Joe was obsessed with Marienne, she paralyzed him with aconite and told Marienne that Joe killed Ryan to scare her away. However, Joe managed to inject Love with a lethal dose of aconite, then burned down their home, staging a murder-suicide at Love’s hands.

The season ended with Joe, having faked his death, leaving Henry with kindly librarian Dante and jetting off to Paris in search of Marienne.
