The cage was initially just intended to store rare books in the basement of the New York City bookstore Mooney's. But Joe's adoptive father Ivan Mooney (Mark Blum) used to lock him in it as punishment; eventually, Joe started using it to trap his own victims.
Originally, the glass box housed rare books in the basement of the store Joe worked in. The book store's owner, Mr. Mooney, would lock Joe in the cage as a young boy to punish him. As an adult, Joe started using the lockable box as a torture chamber for his own victims.
This setting proves that Joe is attempting to change his ways and becomes a better person, but he is unable to stop his violent tendencies. He puts the real Will Bettelheim (Robin Lord Taylor) in the cage, but doesn't kill him.
Episode Eight is told through Marienne's perspective, with flashbacks showing exactly how Joe captured her and put her in his ever-present cage. As Part One showed, Joe did track Marienne down in London. However, instead of simply stealing her necklace and letting her go, he drugged and kidnapped her.
In short, there is a real Rhys Montrose living in London. Nevertheless, the Rhys who's a central character of Season 4 of You is actually an alter of Joe, a representation of every dark thought and impulse the killer has. Rhys is the part of Joe willing to kill anyone who crosses him and who lies to get what he wants.
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. Then the hallucinations start. “He's really desperate to see himself as a good person,” says Gamble.
The results show has an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder usually exhibits stiffness and stubbornness for example, Joe Goldberg had an obsession and control of life to the people he loved, mental and interpersonal control. The impact of Joe Goldberg's obsessed compulsive personality disorder.
Joe ends up killing her dad. He then tells Kate the truth about his identity, and somehow, she's fine with it?!
Joe and recovering drug addict Marienne, who has a daughter called Juliette, met while working at the local library together. They eventually slept together, despite Joe being married to Love.
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.
Guinevere Beck
Guinevere, called 'Beck' on the show, ended up locked in Joe's infamous glass cage after discovering that Joe had been obsessed with her, stalking her and that he killed Benji. She was murdered (off-screen) by Joe after trying to escape the glass cage.
In season 4, episode five, the 'Eat The Rich Killer' was revealed in a very dramatic scene... it's Rhys Montrose (as we said, kinda)! Rhys is an author from the elite friendship group's wider circle, and it turns out that he is the one who has been stalking and harassing Joe since he arrived in London.
Love uses the bottle to slit Candace's throat. This is more or less the same way she'd previously killed the au pair who was hooking up with her brother, Forty, when they were kids. Later, Love takes Candace's body to Anavrin where she presumably disposes of it.
The 'You' Season 4 Finale Finally Proves Joe Is a Villain, Not a Hero. After spending much of Season 4 convincing fans that the murderous Joe Goldberg is a tortured hero to root for, its finale (refreshingly) makes it explicit: This is one bad dude.
According to Psychology Today, serial killers actually can be a combination of more than one kind. So, Joe is most likely a cross between an organized and a disorganized killer.
Unsurprisingly, Love won't let Joe go so easy. As she did with her last husband, James, Love paralyzes Joe with the aconite, a.k.a wolf's bane, she's been growing in her garden.
Like the women in seasons past, Joe had formed an unhealthy obsession with Rhys that escalated to a boiling point. And though Joe's sanity was virtually non-existent by this point, Badgley liked the Rhys and Joe dynamic.
So why did Joe kill Love? Because he wanted to break up with her, tired of living with a killer and keep hiding the bodies she killed, because he wanted to start a new life with Marienne, and ultimately because Love attempted to kill him.
Another challenging part was blocking out her time in the cage. She was in there for about 30 days, is what we had talked about, Sera [Gamble, creator and showrunner] and I.
The real father is Milo.
Yes, Love told Joe that Milo wasn't the baby's father, but Love could have been lying and desperate, knowing that Joe would not have stayed (or may have even killed her) if he knew that she was pregnant with someone else's child.
Henry "Forty" Quinn-Goldberg is the newborn son of Love Quinn and Joe Goldberg. He is named after Love's brother, Forty Quinn.
Joe left Los Angeles—where he faked his own death, blamed it on Love (literally and figuratively), gave his son Henry to their neighbors, and fled to Paris in search of Marienne, his one true love (this time for real).
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.
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.
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.
