About

Joe Goldberg wants to be a better man—or so he tells himself. In the third installment of Caroline Kepnes’ chilling series, You Love Me, Joe settles into a quiet life on Bainbridge Island. But obsession doesn’t die easily. As he zeroes in on Mary Kay, we listen to Joe’s twisted internal monologue as he manipulates, stalks, and even kills in the name of “love.” From strained fatherhood to entanglements with exes, friends, and children, this episode explores Joe’s relentless quest for a picture-perfect life—one he’s willing to destroy to create. Can a monster ever really change, or is Joe just getting better at hiding?
