Things I would like to see in Season 5
I’ve finished rewatching Seasons 1-4 again to refresh me on everything with the new season coming out. Since this is supposed to be the final season (hopefully so bc I feel like there’s so much to tie up) I wanted to make a list of characters I want to see, subplots I want to see tied up, and questions I want answers to.
Nadia: I loved her character a lot and I really want her character to have some kind of justice. Her character’s plot offers great insight into the ways the criminal justice system actually benefits people like Joe. But considering this is a work of fiction, they could at least give her some kind of recourse? Hopefully? I just love Nadia and think she deserves so much better and hope we get to see that.
Love: Like a lot of people here, I’m not entirely convinced Love Quinn is dead because we never directly saw her death. We saw Candace ‘die’ but even she survived. Same with Marienne until Nadia revealed the truth to Edward. Also, I just don’t believe offing multiple members of the Quinn family would as simple as Joe makes it look. I know the hit man in Season 4 hired of the Quinns showed up, but also Joe didn’t keep his end of disappearing. Kate just made sure he could be Joe again.
Henry: I just want to see this baby live a happy life with his dads.
Ellie: The last thing I can remember is he was sending her money in Madre Linda, but I can only assume he stopped as soon as he burned the house down and faked his death. Ellie could believe he is dead, but then he comes out with the story that he had to fake his death to get away from Love. I think Ellie might believe this since Ellie believes Joe in that it was the Quinn family responsible for her sister’s death. I definitely want to see her point of view of these events.
Dr. Nicky: I know this man fell in love with sky daddy as soon as he went to prison but like … surely he has SOME kind of sense, right? Forty came to him for help about Love. Surely he would see the news about Love and Joe, and then the NEW new about Joe actually being alive and now with Kate. Like he HAS to put some pieces together. I would just like to see him actually realize what happened. Even tho I hated Dr. Nicky, he didn’t really deserve to go down for Joe.
Sherry & Cary: I love these two so much. I mainly want to see what they think of the news that Joe is actually alive. I really have no idea what their thoughts would be but I want to know. I feel they probably wouldn’t say anything since I think they would both be easily hushed by Kate. But at the same time, these two always surprise me.
Marienne: I just want to see total confirmation that Joe NEVER finds out she’s still alive. She and Juliette deserve only happiness.
Candace: I know she’s dead, and I know most people hated her, but I really just want to see exactly what Love did with her. Love just said she “took care of it.” I think I also just want to see her character get SOME semblance of justice.
Delilah: Same as Candace. I would like to know exactly what Love did in “taking care” of Delilah’s corpse. But I also want to see Delilah’s character has some retribution. Maybe through Ellie or something? Idk
Beck: This poor girl did not even get to tell her own story after she was murdered. I didn’t love Beck. But the way in which Joe manipulated her life SO much, and even in death, really annoys me. Like he cannot keep getting away with this 😭
TLDR The world now knows Joe Goldberg is really alive. I mainly wanna see what characters from the past seasons do with this information and how it affects Joe - if at all, especially with his new plot armor Kate.
You can also probably tell that I hate Joe and mainly want to see him face the consequences of ALL his manipulations and murders.
What do yall think? Is there anything or anyone you’d like to see in the new season? What end would you like to see for Joe’s character? Personally I want him to be completely miserable forever but I know some people still love him.
