LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Part One of ‘You’ Season 4 ended on a massive cliffhanger as the identity of the ‘EAT THE RICH’ killer was revealed in the fifth episode and no one, except Joe, knows who he is. In the previous episode, viewers got to know that it was Rhys Montrose (Ed Speleers) who was killing everyone for the reasons he only knew. But in reality, all he wanted to do is to get in the head of Joe so that he could force him to do one thing that will stun the entire world. So, Episode 6 of Season 4 starts with everyone returning to London and getting to know that Rhys has finally announced his candidacy for the Mayor of London.
Joe (Penn Badgley) knew that he had to stop him before he continues his killing spree and attends one of his campaign speeches, making him know that he is still alive. But, Joe still needs to find something concrete so that he could frame him. Meanwhile, as soon as he returns home, he finds Rhys is already sitting in one of the chairs in the dining room. He finally reveals that he killed Malcolm, Simon, and Gemma because they were becoming a liability and he didn’t want his election campaign to be derailed because of them. Rhys is now blackmailing Joe to find someone to frame all the murders and if he does that, Rhys will leave him alone and never come back into his life.

Rhys blackmails Joe for...
Joe had no choice and had to say yes because if he didn’t, then Rhys would have told the media that it was Joe who killed everyone. So, he meets Connie for lunch so that he could put all the blame on him. Although in their first meeting, he just wanted to know everything about Connie, he still had to get something concrete so that he could put the blame on him. As soon as the meeting gets over, he gets a text from Rhys that says, “Check your freezer”. When Joe opens his freezer, there’s a box containing the severed ear of Simon Soo. Joe makes a plan that while attending a party at Sundry House, he will put that severed ear in Connie’s coat and make things worse for him. Unfortunately, he was unable to do so.
On the other hand, one of the managers of the party tells Lady Phoebe (Tilly Keeper) that the police have asked her to escort her to her room because she might be in danger. She takes Phoebe to her room and tells her that she will save her from the killer. But it turns out that she is one of the weird psychos who is trying to save Phoebe by doing her own weird s**t. Phoebe tries to talk sweetly and make her understand that everything is fine. The woman tells Phoebe that her name is Dawn and she is trying to save her from all the people she has in her life.
Dawn also tells her about Adam (Lukas Gage) being absolutely broke and that he will be popping the question so that he can have access to all her wealth. She also lets Phoebe know that Adam has been unfaithful and she should not marry him. While they were talking, Jonathan finally manages to find the room she has been locked in and asks from the outside if she is okay or not. Phoebe tells Dawn to open the door because Jonathan, aka Joe, is one of her best friends and would never think of hurting her. She tells Jonathan that she has been following him since he joined Sundry House and hasn’t found anything about him on the internet as well. Dawn gets paranoid and starts to blabber things that don’t mean anything. Joe gets a bit irritated and tells her the truth by saying, “Okay. This is the truth. Whatever relationship you think you have with this woman (Phoebe), you don’t. It’s a figment of your imagination.”
Is Phoebe's life in danger for real?
Dawn gets really frustrated and she didn’t want to hear anything else. She just wanted to save Phoebe and when her maniacal behavior gets overboard, Phoebe interferes and gets the knife from her hands. While doing so, the police barge in and tells Phoebe to put the knife down. She tells the officers that Dawn tried to kidnap her and kill Jonathan. When one of the officers checks her bag, he finds the severed ear of Simon in her bag and is arrested for being the ‘EAT THE RICH’ killer. Well, Joe did his work when Phoebe was talking to Dawn and telling her she is tired of being manipulated. He slowly and carefully put the ear in her bag, putting the blame for all the murders on her.
Joe reaches home and talks to Rhys, telling him that everything is over now. But Rhys had different ideas and he just needs one more man to be thrown out of his life. Who is that man? Well, none other than Tom Lockwood. He is one of the wealthiest men in the UK and has done some really terrible things just to make profits. Also, he is Kate’s father.
Well, things are getting darker for Joe and he seems to have no idea how he’s going to get out of this s**t.
