That's why Joe started seeing the good doctor; of course, Joe lies throughout his sessions, calling himself “Paul” and telling Dr. Nicky about his past month with a made-up boyfriend named “Renaldo.” Turns out “Renaldo” was terrible at her job at the bookstore.
Joe Goldberg might be going by a brand new name in a brand new country, but he's back to his old tricks in season 4 of Netflix's You. The latest season follows Joe (Penn Badgley) as he heads across the pond for a fresh start in London and transforms into Professor Jonathan Moore.
The new trailer for You season 2 shows Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) changing his name to Will and seeking a fresh start. The clip sees Joe finding a new obsession after meeting a woman named Love (Victoria Pedretti).
Joseph Quinn Goldberg, better known as Joe, is the protagonist of Netflix's You. He is portrayed by Penn Badgley.
In later seasons, currently being season 4, Joe is a murderer on the run and it was revealed that he has erotomania although it was obvious in the earlier seasons that the character is troubled, more so for his troubled childhood and his need for affection.
Upon arriving in London, Joe develops such an obsession with Rhys after reading his autobiography, A Good Man in a Cruel World, which Joe closely identifies with.
The latest season finally gives main character Joe Goldberg's condition a name—erotomania. It's a delusional disorder in which someone has an unfounded belief that a person of a perceived higher social status (like a famous musician or actor) is in love with them.
This study concerns in character Joe Goldberg and his obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, which is displayed in the novel You.
Joe changed his last name to include Love's.
When Joe is sitting in shock after he and Love find Gil's body, she yells his name and calls him "Joseph Quinn-Goldberg."
After finding out that he is having a son, rather than a daughter like he had hoped, Joe becomes distraught. He fears that he won't be able to protect his son, Henry, from what he himself was subjected to as a child, and he struggles to form a connection with him.
Joseph Goldberg (Penn Badgley) is a bookstore manager at Mooney's who stalks and dates Guinevere Beck in the first season. In the second season, he goes by the name Will Bettelheim and works as a bookstore clerk at Anavrin, and stalks and dates Love Quinn.
In You season 2, Joe falls for a woman named Love, and their relationship takes an unexpected turn. As we learn, she's committed murder too, and the two are actually more similar than we initially believed. Joe and Love eventually get married and they even have a child, a baby boy named Henry.
Love dies from the aconite. With her final words, she tells Joe they're perfect for each other, but bad for their son.
In Joe and Love's relationship, "I wolf you" ultimately means... I poison you.
Beck knows the truth. Or at least some of it. In the final moment's of YOU's penultimate episode, Beck discovered Joe's hiding place — the ceiling above his toilet. There, he'd hidden a box filled with items he'd taken from her — including her phone — and items he'd taken from Peach and Benji, his two victims.
That's further complicated by Love's trajectory throughout the season. Seen mostly through Joe's first-person perspective as a lovable, if not a bit naïve, young woman longing for love after experiencing her own trauma, she is revealed to be suffering from severe PTSD.
However, it's soon revealed that Joe never actually knew Rhys, and the version of Rhys who he was talking to, who was cunning and seemingly murderous, was actually a figment of Joe's imagination.
Yet, You season 4, part 2 does not take long to show Joe killing the real Rhys Montrose, thus revealing that Joe has been hallucinating Rhys as his killer self. This is not the first time that Joe has hallucinated, but this is the first time that Joe has killed offscreen and attributed the deaths to someone else.
Scott did say, though, that the closest clinical diagnosis to a "psychopath" or "sociopath" is antisocial personality disorder, and that Goldberg does indeed show some hallmark traits of the disorder. He also demonstrates characteristics of narcissistic personality disorder, experts say.
It comes down to the empathy that Joe evokes, according to Neo. "Empathy is really about how we are compelled to understand why things are the way they are. And we try to do that for other people, especially if we are very understanding of other people.
Joe Goldberg (INFJ)
Joe is an unhealthy INFJ, the rarest personality type. He has an idealized perception of who he is. He kills people because he thinks he's doing it to protect his loved ones and to make the world a better place. He has a combination of strong morals, idealisms and a focus on the future.
He interrogates him with some gruesome "ball torture" (luckily all left to the imagination), but Rhys insists he doesn't know anything. After Joe snaps and strangles him to death, the truth is revealed, as another Rhys appears and walks over to the dead body.
Joe hates men, and he has a history of wanting to protect women. But, of course, he'd prefer a daughter over a son. Also, Joe doesn't want to raise a son to become like him.
Joe ends up killing her dad. He then tells Kate the truth about his identity, and somehow, she's fine with it?!
