  • Kate and Joe’s relationship deteriorates, leading to shocking revelations and a brutal confrontation.

Netflix’s series “You,” starring Penn Badgley as the captivating and unpredictable serial killer Joe Goldberg, has been an exhilarating journey through a maze of charms, manipulations, and problem-solving. With season 5 set to premiere in April 2025, fans eagerly anticipate how this chilling narrative will reach its conclusion.

Thus far in season 5 of “You”, viewers have seen the marriage between Joe Goldberg (Joe) and Kate Lockwood (Charlotte Richie) face a significant challenge. Additionally, there’s been an escalation of Joe’s fascination with Bronte (Madeline Brewer), an employee at Mooney’s. With half of the season having passed, what will become of Joe’s compulsion to kill, and can he and Kate manage to stay together?

What Happens In You Season 5 Episode 5?

In episode 5 of Season 5, titled “The Last Dance”, the scene initiates with Joe and Bronte sharing a moment together, while Kate and Joe try to manage their complicated situation, unaware that it’s beyond their control. As the story unfolds, Kate discovers Joe’s affair with Bronte when she spots Bronte exiting Mooney’s bookstore. This revelation prompts Kate to discuss her findings about Joe’s past with Teddy, including the mysterious disappearance of Marienne Bellamy and the unsettling suspicion that there might be more to Love Quinn’s (Victoria Pedretti) death as seen in the finale of the previous season, where Joe brutally murdered Love.

Fans were eager to see returning characters such as Ellie Alves (Jenna Ortega) in the fifth season of You, but fresh personalities like Bronte and the twins are captivating and distinct. The enigmatic Bronte’s rejection of Joe causes him concern, making her tough demeanor even more intriguing. Running into Maddie, he suggests that in a month, they will claim Raegan died at sea in the Philippines. Maddie is hesitant about this idea, but it’s the least of Joe’s worries when he discovers a note from Bronte indicating she has left. Her phone number is unreachable, and she hasn’t updated her social media. This leaves Joe in a state of panic, demonstrating his constant need for control over his life and his discomfort with people acting in ways he didn’t foresee or approve of.

Following the discovery of a knife in their bed, Joe confronts Kate, who claims to know secrets about him. She confesses, “I gave you my affection,” to which Joe retorts, “You withdrew it when I revealed mine.” Joe subtly hints at Kate’s past actions, reminding both her and the audience of “You”, by saying: “You’re not pure, for you too have taken lives in the past.

“You’ve twisted the story to make me out to be the only villain.”

Later on, in season 5, episode 5, the action intensifies as Kate announces her intention to divorce Joe and receives an email from Clayton (Tom Francis), whom Joe had contacted using a bogus email address. Interestingly, while Kate might have turned out like Joe, she is now evidently working against him.

Joe demonstrates his talent for unraveling mysteries and connecting the dots when he enters Clayton’s apartment, accesses his laptop, and locates Bronte at the Laurel Diner in Atlantic Beach. During a quick phone conversation, Bronte requests that he forgets about her. Joe proposes they could be together and inquires if this is possible.

“What if it was you and only you?”

Joe finds Bronte at a house called The Sandbox, but she tasers him, and he passes out.

How Does You Season 5 Episode 5 End?

Fans have been eager to catch glimpses of familiar faces from the past, but for now, the intrigue surrounding the new characters keeps them hooked. In the fifth episode of season 5 in You, after Kate visits Raegan’s house, she discovers that she was actually speaking with Maddie without realizing it. When she believes the twins are quarreling, she bursts into the bathroom and Maddie admits to murdering Raegen. In her eyes, Joe is a “madman,” but she acknowledges that things have improved because he helped her recognize how her twin had mistreated her over their lives. This scene carries significance as it demonstrates that Joe has managed to win over Maddie, despite her claims that she can see through him.

In the ongoing narrative, it’s clear that the bond between Joe and Kate is falling apart, and they respond to this situation differently. While Joe seems to be growing closer to Bronte and contemplates the authenticity of their relationship, Kate confides in Teddy about her past actions, admitting she asked Joe to kill a man named Bob and together they killed Rhys Montrose in season 4 of ‘You’. She expresses remorse, saying “I’ve unleashed a monster” and acknowledges her fear of becoming like her father. This revelation distresses Teddy, who advises Kate to lose everything, hinting at the gravity of her actions. The chilling scene underscores the anticipation for ‘You’ season 5, which is as eagerly awaited as other upcoming Netflix series such as ‘Wednesday’ season 2 and ‘Stranger Things’ season 5.

At the cottage later on, Joe ends up engaging in a fierce battle with Clayton, resulting in Joe’s unfortunate decision to take Clayton’s life. Meanwhile, Bronte’s two companions happen to be present, capturing the entire incident on video for social media purposes. One of them remarks:

“Our friend Clayton is dead and Joe Goldberg f**king killed him.”

You season 5 has its biggest twist when Joe thinks, did Bronte set him up and catfish him?

You season 5 is now streaming on Netflix.
