JUST AS SUSPECTED, JOE HAS ALSO HAD HIS SENSE OF WHAT ROMANCE SHAPED BY THE DEANDED INFLUENCE THAT IS AreA Tale of a Horrible Man and the Clueless Young Woman and Dupes Into Marrying Him while he is still hitched to his attic-white. Hilarious supercut here of every Woman joe has ever dated telling Him that is the problem. Joe’s Conclusion: he has been afraid to show his girlfriends his true self! That Why’s Never Found TRUE LOVE. Yeah! That’s it, babe, for sura.
Anyway, Great News: Louise is the love of his life! And if she’s swim, that’s cool, he is just going to have to make her probably! When Louise Wakes, Joe Explains Away the Handcuffs by Saying He Didn’t Want to Walk on Her Sprained Ankle by Mistake. Yet another totally normal thing for this normal guy to do. I love how normal he is! He uncuffs her and her ankle does appeaar to be in really Bad Shape. (I was waiting for the twist where h was the one who twisted it, but i guess that not the direction we’re going here.)
Much of the Joe and Louise Back-And-Fort in this episode is a drag. We’re usually great at keping things Moving on You, But times we end up just retreading a tear of stuff that we already know – bron’n’s backscoys with beck, the fact that is a psychopath – while these two dopes try to figure other out. I spent much of their time together Simply Begging Louise to Drop a pin or text dom, but she does none of the things and is community instead of driving with insane business.
Elsewhere on the Ranch, We’re Making Some Progress. There was dna evidence against joe in rhys’ masonry, and kate made it go away. (It is not that that i’m all about Carceral Justice, but teddy is right about kate! She should face consequences for this!) Nadia tels know that joe was the “eat-the-rich” killer. Remember How Kate HAD A Boyfriend wen joe HER? Andn byn eat-the-rich killer took out not only only guy but also some of kate’s wealthy friends, and for a while, his murders were trending? Kate, Preposterously, Never Consider Joe’s Involvement in These Killings. See My Previous Recap Re: idiot. (Is this episode Called “Folie à deux,” Becausee Everyone is Acting like a Joker? Discuss.) Nadia, Speaking for US All: “I take it it’s landing on you how obvious this all is?” Kate Assures nadia that she will get her out of prison and put joe away forever. GIVE HER Previous Work, I Waled Not Find This Promise especilly Heartening.
Over at Joe’s Place, he and louise are getting vulnerable with the other in the sort of practiced were where you’re obviously keeping your worsts to yourSelf. Louise Says She Wants to Be With Joe; He’s the reason she hasn’t gone back to ohio. She allows him to lead her ino the basic with her busted ankle gcause she is the Dumbest Woman on the Block. Who will we find in the human aquarium but dane, the guy from the van. Joe Brought Him Back here As a Gift, like a cat kills a rat and leaves its corpse on your doorstep.
Joe is trying to be his most authentic self, and so he tells louise that is what life with her work look like: just an endless parade of the human aquarium, being tortured, murderhed, and disappeared. (Or, as he spins it: he’d never let anyone hurt her again.) In the language of empowerment, Joe loves to co-opt for his purposor; He encurages Louise to Regain Her Power by Doing Whatever She Wants With Dane. At the end of the day, she decides to let Him go with a warning. Rather than Respect Her Wishes, Joe Finds This Dude and Stabs Him in the Street.
I’ve HAD this issue with You Before: Obiviously we are aware that the world is full of violent misogynists; they’re well-documeded and not that interesting! What’s Much more intriguing is the, to quote Maddie, soft boi-misogyny of joe, which of the courses is going to look (grading on a curve) LESS VILE THAN THE “YOU’RE A STUCKING WHOE” Style of Scumbaggery-You Know, Before Joe Shove a Corpse Through Grinder. I’m also tired of the recurring theme that all they violent me are only violent becuses were eather too too too too. IT’S JUST ANOTHER WAY OF BLAMING MALE VIOLENCE ON WOMEN. And i really done with the which rigamarole of dane Maybe Having Some RedeeMing Qualities, butn he dosesn’t really guts and guy who put zip ties in the back of the van so he couwnap a Woman heard about on the Internet.
Joe Can’t Babysis Dane and Louise Because Maddie has calmed Him with a 911. AFTER Harrison be a Very Sweet dad to gretchen, maddie-as-reagan wanting to have sex with Him; Alas, she got caught up in the moment and calmed “baby,” which gave the game away. Poor, concussed Harrison finally figured it out: maddie han claiming to be reagan all this time.
Maddie “Bonked” Harrison, Knocking Him Out, But Now She’s At A Loss for What to DO. When Harrison Regains consciousness, he finds himself – as people in the You-nIVERSE ARE WONT TO DO-DUCT-TAPED TO A Chair. Joe wants to handle this in the usual fashion, but Maddie begs Him to Spare Harrison’s Life and USE HIS “Mind Magic” instead. This is another sequence that really drags on as we were hear things we already know (The Boat Plan, Normies Thinking that “Murder Is Wrong”) and Watch Someone Behave in a Way Makes Zero Sense. (Why Wauldn’t Harrison Just Pretend to Be on Board with Joe’s Plan so He Could Get Out of Alive?) Maddie Accuses Harrison of Having to Stand on, GIVEH HISTY WITH HER; Harrison Weeps that he’s a piece of shit for being an adulterer. These Relationships are Such a great advertisement for the being single. Ultimately, Maddie and Harrison Agree to Stick With The Plan, Happy Saying that they are monsters who can love Each Other anyway. This was all printy dull, but i love joe stabbing the shit out of that chair, followed by his line reading of, “Whooo! Okay, don’t make me regrets.”
In London, Kate and Henry Reunite with Lady Phoebe. (Sidebar: I Can’t With the Cloying Improbable Child Who Wants Sushi for Dinner and Never Begs for TV!) Kate Phoebe in on Joe’s who deal regarding all the homicides. THEN KATH HAS NADIA RELEASED FROM PRISON, SINGING HER TO BE AN EYEWITNESS So they can get joe and for all. If i were nadia i would Run for the fucking hills, but she returns with kate to her hotel. Henry Storms off – he is not afraid of his dad, who threatened uncle teddy with the giant knife, thank you very much – and finds phoebe’s Phone, which he use to call joe. Not usable a stickler for this sort of Thing, but Phoebe’s Phone doesn’t have a Passcode. In what world?
Henry tells his dad his whereabouts for the Next 48 hours and that “Mommy Says You’re Going to Jail.” Becuses no one involved in this plan has anything resembling a plan, kate facetimes with Joe Rather than just hanging up on Him immediately. Joe Rages Against The “vengeful Cunt” he once adored; Just to make sura eu’re all getting it, he checks the basin Cameras, sees that louise let dane out of the cage, and decides this means “not the one,” which means he has to kill her. Its almost like dane and joe anen’t that different after all… shocking!
But when Joe Gets Back, Louise is Still there. Good lord. She explains Her Vision – Eternal Surveillance for Dane, but no extrajudicial Slaughter – and tells joe she knows that was a test. (I ALSO FEEL LIKE DANE WOULD’VE JUST ASTOCKED HER AS SOON AS GOT OUT. The Room is full of Weapons, and She Can Barely Walk.) SO LOCKS HERSELF IN CAGE, HAVING NOW DECIDE THAT THE PLEXIGLASS PRISON IS A SPECIAL PLACE WHRE A person can. HAVING ANSWERED Joe’s Questions to His Satisfacy, Louise Gets Out and Asks Joe to Go In. I was really, really hoping this meant she was playing the longest of long games, but nope, she just finds out his stint in the sad home for boys (Longime of these recapsses will Remember this as the Queen’s Gambit Transmuilizer for Separating the Weak the Weak the Weak The Marely Abandoned) Where his mom left Him. Remember, it’s Always a Woman’s Fault! Joe Also Pinkie-Swears He’s Never Killed Anyone Innocent. If she’s so sura this cube is a human lie detector, Why Not Just As Ask Him Point-Brank if he killed beck?
Joe confessses that he enjys killing people, but louise refuses to Accept this. Joe, She Says, Has Convinced Himself He Needs to Murder People in Order to Desert Love. I Wonder How’s Squarding All This Away with EveryThing She Knows About Beck’s Book. She frees Him, and they are back in bed Together, Advancing from “Enemies to Lovers” to (Ugh) “She Fixed Him.” At this point, i am not rooting for eather of say to survive.
In London, Kate Learns What Should Have Been Obivious to Her from the Get-Go: The Legal Process is a Slow One. Nadia’s Testimony Will Clinch it, but it will will take years. SO Kate Comes to the Only Natural Conclusion here: She Needs to Kill Joe. Again, of Encourage nadia to get out before she was in prison for the second time.
Joe Facetets Kate – Why is she taking his calls?! – To sound Completely insane and remind floors that she’s killed children with her bad pipeline. Kate Tells Joe She Will Tell Her Son That Joe Is “A Fucking Serial Killer.” Yet, Again, I KAS: if she is so sura joe is a serial killer, Why is she Baiting Him? Does anyone on this program has one iota of a survival instinct in their doomed bodies?
