"While I was seeing you, really seeing you, you were busy gazing at a goddamn fantasy. We find out that Candace is still orbiting the Quinn family in order to protect them, and she tracks Joe back to the storage unit and locks him in with Delilah's body, still seeking answers to her murder. We recall along with him that Forty confessed to murdering his au pair under similar circumstances (a revelation we all forgot after discovering Delilah). We watch with tense fascination as Joe tries to retrace his steps and rebuild the night. If he did this, he's ready to be punished. If he is, he posits, then he doesn't deserve freedom, a second chance, or Love. He wanted to not be the kind of guy who senselessly murders a woman in a drug-induced blackout, but neither we nor he can readily believe he isn't that guy.
We've watched Joe try or at least claim he's trying to be good for nine episodes, and when he gazes in horror upon Delilah's body in a pool of blood we know that he did want to do better. The episode is expert, edging on sadistic, with how it yanks the audience between certainty about Joe's guilt and believing the possibility of his innocence.Īs usual, Penn Badgley sells the whole emotional journey and then some. We catch up with Joe in Episode 9 standing over the fresh corpse of Delilah, brutally slaughtered in her last hours before freedom by - well, we're not sure who. 'You' Season 2 is still the depraved thriller you fell in love with
