“Sure, she’s cutting an apple right now, but the audience is going to be subconsciously terrified for the ‘human apple,’” Forty said.

This connection is further explored in Episode 3, when Forty stood on a table in the middle of the room at Henderson’s party and drunkenly preached about the concept of “ Chekhov’s gun” (or Chekhov’s knife, as he called it), a concept that suggests if an author (or, say, a TV series) draws attention to something, they should eventually reveal why that thing was worth the attention. Looking back on this scene, it’s clear the show’s writers weren’t just trying to ruin viewers’ appetites they were also sneakily helping fans associate Love’s cooking skills with Joe’s body butchery, hinting at her true nature. The Juxtaposition Of Cooking And KillingĮpisode 2 had one of the most stomach-churning montages in TV history, featuring scenes of Joe butchering the body of the man he’d just killed interspersed with clips of Love cooking up a delicious meal. If you think about it, Love’s boldness when first meeting and getting to know Joe could totally suggest she, like Joe, was willing to take drastic measures in the pursuit of a partner. Sure, fans found out Joe was behind at least some of their meetups, but at least one instance (when they saw each other at the DMV) could have totally been staged by Love. Then there are their “coincidental” run-ins. Then, after Joe got a severe sunburn from falling asleep in the sun, she showed up on his doorstep and insisted on taking him on a tour of the Los Angeles food scene. The first time they met, her opening line was to ask Joe if the peach she was holding looked like a butt (which isn’t exactly a typical conversation starter between strangers). Love wasn’t at all demure in pursuing Joe. What seduces you is the real thing.” If that’s not a page right out of Joe Goldberg’s creeper book, I’m not sure what is. You like strong flavors gimmicks don’t seduce you. You like things that are real, made right by people who care. You’re not a snob, you’re just old fashioned.
This is mirrored when Love brought Joe (whom she still believed to be Will, at this point) into Anavrin to cook him chicken, saying in her head, “Let me tell you a little bit about yourself, Will Bettelheim. Whenever Joe finds a new target, he acts like he knows the woman better than she knows herself. However, while Beck’s descriptions served as a funny reaction to an awkward hookup with Joe that showed how differently she viewed the world than he did, Love’s style of narration was a lot more similar to Joe’s. Much like Beck’s brief narration stint in Season 1, Love’s inner monologue took over for a hot second in the first episode of Season 2. Now, it’s much clearer this actually alluded to Joe and Love’s equally dark and twisted natures. The tagline on the Season 2 You poster aptly says: “ Meet your match.” Before jumping into the season, it would be understandable to assume the phrase was referring to Joe’s ex Candace (Ambyr Childers), who set out to take him down at the end of Season 1. Now that fans have seen the episodes, they’ll realize these Easter eggs were hiding in plain sight. However, while Love might’ve been unreadable to the other characters (and most viewers were probably screaming for her to run for cover from Joe, for that matter), there were definitely a few signs that alluded toward her inner darkness. “She is definitely not somebody who brandishes the facts,” Pedretti told Harper’s Bazaar about her character on Jan. It wasn’t necessarily Love’s outward behavior that gave away any hints about her dark side. However, despite Love seeming like she would end up as just another one of Joe’s innocent victims, there were actually a handful of clues Love was a killer in You Season 2 all along - you just had to know where to look. While fans already knew Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) had some serious stalker-killer tendencies, few expected his love interest of the season, Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), to also have no issue doing dark deeds for the sake of love. Warning: Spoilers for You Season 2 follow.
