After years of sneaking around pretending he was some twisted version of Prince Charming, Joe Goldberg’s story finally smashed headfirst into reality.
The guy who believed every horrible thing he did was somehow out of love finally met his end. And not just any end. A messy, painful one that felt almost like karma itself wrote the script.
It all started when Joe found himself locked in his own glass cage. For once, he was the one trapped and not the one doing the trapping. Kate and Nadia, fed up with Joe’s nonsense, pulled off a genius move by trapping him inside. Their plan was simple. Get a confession, clear Nadia’s name, and end Joe’s reign of chaos once and for all.
But this was Joe Goldberg. He always had something nasty up his sleeve. This time, it was an actual key that he had hidden under his skin. Pretty disgusting, but also pretty much what you would expect from him.

He freed himself, whacked Kate with a mallet, and made a desperate run for it. Things could have worked out for him, too, if Maddie had not decided she had seen enough and set the bookstore on fire. Joe got trapped like a rat.
At last, he grabbed Kate’s phone and called the fire department to save himself. But Kate was not finished. She played her last card by ambushing Joe again, recording him spilling the truth about his crimes, and sending it off to Nadia just in time.
Louise, believing she was saving the love of her life, pulled Joe out of the burning wreckage. Somehow, in all the madness, they got engaged. Joe thought he had won again. He had no idea Louise was secretly plotting to take him down once and for all.
While hiding out in a creepy lake house, Joe thought everything was about to be perfect. A romantic getaway with the woman he loved. Instead, Louise pulled out a gun on him just when he was thinking of making his next move.
Joe tried his usual tricks, playing the charming hero, but Louise was too smart for that. When Joe realized sweet words would not save him, he attacked. Louise fought back. Even after getting shot in the side, she managed to hide and call the police.
Joe caught up to her before she could say anything, and in full villain mode, he tried to drown her in the lake. Joe being Joe, thought he had finally won. But Louise came back stronger than ever, grabbed the downed cop’s gun, and when Joe begged for some twisted romantic ending, she shot him right in his pride. Ouch.
Joe was dragged to prison, where his long list of sins finally caught up to him. He was convicted of killing Love Quinn, Guinevere Beck, Peach Salinger, and Benjamin Ashby III. Remember Dr. Nicky, the poor guy Joe framed back in season one? He finally got released. It was about time.
Life outside the bars moved on. Nadia cleared her name and became a writer and teacher, helping prisoners get second chances. Harrison was cleared of Reagan’s murder, and he and Maddie ended up together, expecting twins. Maddie somehow managed to turn surviving Joe into a fresh new chapter, which is kind of incredible considering she had to stab her evil twin sister, Reagan, with a needle to get there.
Kate survived the fire and wore her scars like medals. She stepped away from her toxic family empire and became an art dealer again, helping Marienne Bailey finally shine without fear looming over her. Kate also took care of Henry, giving Joe’s son the chance at a good life Joe never could.

Louise did not just survive Joe. She rewrote the ending. Literally. She scrubbed Joe’s creepy edits out of Beck’s book and gave the world the real story. Beck’s voice was finally hers again. Joe, meanwhile, sat alone in prison, blaming everyone else for his problems. He even got piles of fan mail from people who clearly had never seen the disaster he truly was. Talk about missing the point.
And yes, the body count this season was about as high as you would expect from Joe. Uncle Bob got strangled because he threatened Kate’s future. Reagan got stabbed in the neck by Maddie. Clayton, who turned out to be Dr. Nicky’s son, had his head smashed on a fireplace corner. Dane, a hired thug, got suffocated when Joe decided it was easier than letting him walk free. A random police officer also lost his life because Joe could not leave witnesses.
In the end, Joe sat rotting in his cell. No poetic redemption. No grand love story. Just a man who caused endless pain, now left with nothing but his own bitter thoughts. He spent his final scene blaming everyone but himself, pointing at the world and saying the problem was not his. It was you.
It was a fitting end. The man who thought he was writing a love story was really just scribbling a long, sad tragedy where he was always the villain. And this time, he had no way out.
