After years of waiting for him to get caught, viewers will be content with what becomes of him.

The reason she won’t let Joe die is twofold.

Bronte also wants Joe to survive so that he’ll be forced to face everything he has done.

Bringing the series back to the beginning, Joe is finally found guilty of killing Guinevere Beck.

She says that “allegations snowballed, turned into more convictions.”

Nadia isn’t the only person whose name is cleared at the end of the show, either.

She tells him, “Redact yourself.

Take out every f***ing word you added.”

She’s enraged to learn that Joe altered Beck’s work after murdering her.

Bronte sets out to right this wrong, allowing Beck’s truth to be shared.

And it’s a satisfying detail that Beck’s redacted book is even more successful than Joe’s version.

As Joe notes, this isn’t just about Beck, either.

She’s rendering his perspective meaningless, removing him from the narrative.

By prioritizing Beck and only Beck, she’s putting the experiences of Joe’s victims first.

What Happens To Henry Goldberg At The End Of You?

Kate certainly seems committed to that end for both herself and her adoptive son.

“Maybe we have a problem as a society,” Joe says as he reads the letter.

“Maybe we should fix what’s broken in us.”

Maybe it’s you."

All 10 episodes ofYouseason 5 are streaming on Netflix as of April 24 at 3 a.m. Of course, asYouseason 5 highlights repeatedly, Joe is very much the biggest problem in his story.
