'You' Season 2 Episode 6 Review: Did Candice ruin everything for Joe and get her revenge on him in 'Farewell My Bunny'?
Contains spoilers for 'You' Season 2 Episode 6
Episode 6 is titled 'Farewell My Bunny' and by the title itself, it can be understood that the episode is going to be dark and secrets are going to be unraveled in the worst way possible. If you remember clearly, in Season 1, Candice used to call Joe Goldberg her 'bunny'. So one can assume that this episode is going to be all about Candice and Joe's history.
As Candice has been plotting her revenge on Joe, she seems to have been stalking the stalker and is always two steps ahead of him. She finds her way into the Quinn family as she begins to date Forty Quinn just to be in close proximity to Joe. She has been on guard ever since she escaped the near-death experience as Joe tried to kill her in Season 1. Her scars are still fresh and the only thing on her mind is revenge.
Meanwhile, Love does not trust Candice and hates the fact that Forty is dating her. She sends a personal investigator behind her only to get stopped by Joe. Well, of course, Joe knew Candice would mess up somewhere in the future and he wasn't wrong. Candice sneaks into Joe's apartment as she pretends to be one of his one night stands, and gets Delilah to open his house.
Sneakily, she opens the window so that she can collect evidence and frame him for all he has done. Unfortunately for her, the personal investigator sent by Love sees this and lets Love know all about it. Love barely knew her true intentions but goes into Joe's house before Candice could arrive at the scene.
She finds Love sitting at the table waiting for her. Candice tries to explain why she is doing things and comes out with major revelations about Joe's past. She tells Love everything about him — from the time he tried to kill her to the way he killed Beck, and that his real name is Joe Goldberg and not Will Bettelheim. Candice has succeeded in ruining Joe's relationship with Love and in a way she has achieved a small part of her revenge plan.
At first, Love does not believe her, but later, Joe goes on to confess everything to her because, for him, Love is the one. She hates being lied to and that's exactly what Joe did, creating a huge rift between the love of his life and himself. Love is broken by what Joe did and she asks Candice to go away for good.
This episode is a wordplay on 'Farewell my Love', which is an expression Love could have used to bid adieu to her one and only. But Candice gets to have the last laugh because she was successful in hurting Joe once and for all. She definitely deserves to say 'Farewell my Bunny' because we probably won't be seeing her in the future episodes.
Catch 'You' Season 2 on Netflix premiering on December 26.
