When Rhys gave Joe his murdering orders, Joe told Rhys he was DONE with killing.
But Rhys has endless leverage because of Joes American misdeeds.
(HOW does Rhys know about these crimes?)
Rhys swears this is the last homicide he will ever ask Joe to commit.
Girl, your dad is evil incarnate, according to you?!
Youve been estranged for many years??
He just sent you a honey trap!!
We are to believe Kate is supersmart, and yet … the decision-making skills!
Meanwhile, Nadia is doing some research on the Eat-the-Rich killer.
A better choice, Nadia says, would be an average Joe (a Joe!)
like, Edward offers, Professor Jonathan.
Though I will say … thats what Joe would do!
Basically, every hit is about his charity work.
treatment by someNew Yorkertype outlet.)
She also asks if hes read the story she gave him, which he clearly didnt.
To get rid of her, Joe tells her that her plot is too complicated.
Well, thats quite a fun twist.
as Joe scrambles for a way to work Rhys into the conversation.
I mean … he could just ask what Tom thinks of the mayors race?
Its not that hard.
alongside work by her favorite emerging artists.
Did you kill her?
You ever kill anyone?
See, this is the energy I have been waiting for all season long!!
Why did we have to wait seven episodes for this?
The enemy of my enemy is my frenemy … no.
Are we still saying frenemy?
That night, Phoebe comes to stay at Kates.
(I laughed out loud at Im just like this big, long baby.)
Kates done this before for her own mother, among others.
Adam, her unstable best friends also-unstable ex.
Adam pleads for the chance to drive Phoebe to the facility because he wants to do one good thing.
Phoebe, the paragon of judgment, says she trusts him.
Across the way, Joe baits Rhys into coming over.
He plants a camera and sets up the recording app on his phone to catch Rhys in a confession.
But Rhys sniffs this out very quickly and then shows Joe his trump card: Mariennes passport.
Joe now has 24 hours to kill Lockwood or Marienne is dead.
Joe also lifted Mariennes passport.
And, apparently, locked her in a cage somewhere, as is his standard practice.
(To this, I say:Arethey so great?)
Joe meets Lockwood in some rare book library at the school.
Now I am suspicious of every interaction Joe has with someone without a third party present.
Like, did Joe imagine this entire conversation?
Joes already put tarps down for easy body removal, but he hasnt really thought through his exit strategy.
Just like Rhys, Lockwood comes not to bury but to employ: Lockwood wants Rhys dead.
Oh, theres one more option, Lockwood says, which is you could just stab me.
But in Lockwoods totally unbiased opinion, killing Rhys is far and away the best choice.
Then he tosses the book Joes way and says, Go be your best self.
Again, hilarious; the best scene this show has had all season.
Where has this BEEN?
Was Greg too busy/expensive to employ for all ten episodes?
Nadia breaks into Joes office/classroom and finds out that he has a hollowed-out copy ofJekyll and Hydewith a key.
Also a book on torture.
Still: Maybe Rhys IS real AND Joe has hallucinated/imagined all their interactions.
Like how Dawn was convinced that Phoebe was communicating with her through the television!
Joe goes to Rhyss country house just as Rhyss ex, Emma, is peeling out of there.
Or is it Rhys??
DOES RHYS HAVE A TWIN?
When he sees Joe at the door, he says he doesnt recognize him.
Joe responds to this rationally (zip-ties maybe-Rhys to a chair in the shed).
So Joe gets carried away and kills him.
Well, well, well.
Nadia goes to investigate.
Inhabited by none other than … Marienne.
