In Her First Interaction With Joe At Moony's

 Netflix's You checked many boxes: it was unique, scary in the right measure, had an edgy lead, and was occasionally even funny. What fans may not have noticed on their binge-watch of the addictive show is that it's also chock full of hidden details, easter eggs, and references that foreshadow the later events of the show, sometimes even a season in advance.

A slower, closer watch would reveal that right from the first interaction that Beck had with Joe in season 1, till the very last scenes of season 3 had meaningful little facts and minutiae stashed away or in plain sight, and knowing what they mean would add a whole new layer to the show.

Anavrin Was Referenced By Beck Several Times

As the romantic leading lady in season 1, Beck was the center of attention. In her first interaction with Joe at Moony's, she speaks about Paula Fox, an author who also happens to be Courtney Love's grandmother. Courtney Love was married to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, thus making it an early reference to Anavrin, the Quinn's superstore.

This wasn't all. Even as Joe locked Beck in the glass cage, she was seen wearing a Nirvana t-shirt the whole time she was trapped. Pretty eerie.

Joe Scrolls Past Benji's App When Browsing Dating Apps

With his new life as Will in LA in season 2, Joe decided that he needed to scope out the dating scene in his area, which made fans hate Joe a lot more on You. So, the notorious lady killer started scrolling through his app store, which in itself wasn't a big deal.

Upon closer look, the slew of dating apps has one notable name in it: Lovehooks. This was the app that tech bro Benji had worked on previously, which Joe had seen when he cyber-stalked him. He didn't even bat an eyelid when he came across the app made by the man he had murdered.

Forty Calls Joe "Old Sport", Then Gets Shot

Littered with literary references, You also had some less obvious ones for fans to unspool as they rewatched the show. Forty and Joe became fast friends in season 2, and Forty called Joe many things, one of them being "Old Sport", a nickname that Jay Gatsby had christened Nick Carraway within The Great Gatsby.

This wouldn't mean anything, except Forty died the same way Gatsby did, by getting shot. The nickname was a very subtle foreshadowing of poor, funny Forty's fate.

Love And Forty's Names

Even at first listen, the siblings have strange names. Love is unusual, and Forty is even more unheard of but put together, they make a lot of sense. The Quinns made no bones about which child was their favorite, and this tennis reference proves it.

Forty is the highest score one can achieve in tennis, while Love is zero. This correlates to the affection that Dottie gave to Forty, which was immense, as well as the scraps of love that Love had to deal with since a young age.

Crime And Punishment By Dostoevsky Is Symbolic Of Joe's Life

The book references continue in the series throughout, and this one is major. To get the job at Anavrin, Joe sells a copy of Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, and he later quotes the author as well when he is locked in the cage by Love: "If a man has a conscience, he will suffer for his mistake. That will be his punishment as well as his prison."

This is symbolic because the book deals with something that resembles the plot of You. Rodion Raskolnikov contemplates killing a pawnshop owner to get her money to start life afresh, and when he does the deed he is haunted by guilt, paranoia, and regret of his crime, wondering if some crimes are justified as a means to an end. Sound familiar?

Joe Gives Love Play It As It Lays By Joan Didion To Read

Of Love's best and worst traits, one was that she enjoyed books like Joe. In season 2, Joe gives her a book by Joan Didion to read, called Play It As It Lays, which is about a young woman who flits from a violent relationship to another, and then goes to LA where she also spirals out of control in love and other aspects.

The themes of the book correspond with the show, as it also deals with the violence in Joe's relationships, perpetuated by him, with LA as the backdrop for this season. It seemed to give viewers a clue that Love will also be darker than anyone Joe had dated.

Love's First And Last Meal For Joe Is The Same

When Love first met Joe, she made a wholesome roast chicken for him, which Joe loved. In the finale of season 3, she prepared the same meal for Joe, who was now her husband.

That night was a definitive one for both of them, and it was obvious that only one of the two would survive. It could have been the last meal that Joe ever made, or the last one that Love ever prepared, which was very poetic. If one looks closely, one can also see that Love handled the spiked knife with a cloth, rather than her bare hands, giving away her intentions.

Her Death By Aconite Was Foreshadowed

Aconite played a rather pivotal role in You season 3, where the poison it created was first used to incapacitate Joe, who then miraculously managed to move and injected Love with a lethal dose of the same.

Funnily enough, the other name for Aconite is Wolfsbane, and the most popular dialogue between the couple was "I wolf you." The connection between the two can't be coincidental, and the use of Aconite was referenced early in the relationship.
