Does Theo die in You season 3?
By Cody Schultz
You season 3 has finally arrived and with it has come what might be the show’s craziest and most twisted episodes yet — episodes that leave viewers on the edge of their seats and choosing to watch “just one more episode” 10 times in a row.
With the arrival of a new season, comes the introduction of several new characters including Dylan Arnold’s Theo, the stepson of Love and Joe’s new neighbor. This being You, of course, there is more to Theo than meets the eye and he quickly becomes thrust into the center of this season’s craziest story.
Warning: If you haven’t yet had the chance to watch the third season of You, this might be a good time to bookmark this page and come back as spoilers are coming.
From the moment Theo and Love first met, it was clear Theo was going to spell trouble for Love as the college teen turned on the charm and a flirtation sparked between the two.
The lines soon blur when Love hatches a plan to “fake” feelings for Theo to gain his trust and help her to figure out what evidence his prying stepdad might have on her and Love — you know, fearing it could implement them in the murder of Natalie. This plan seems to work better than expected, perhaps because Love begins developing feelings for Theo along the way with their relationship turning from flirtatious to physical not long after.
Knowing Love and Joe, things aren’t going to end well for Theo, but will he pay the ultimate price for getting in bed with the crazed pair?
Does Theo die in You?
Although it was looking as though Theo was going to die in You season 3, Theo is one of the lucky few to make it out of the season but that doesn’t mean he makes it out of unscathed!
In the penultimate episode of the season, Theo makes his way to Love’s bakery where he discovers Sherry and Cary locked up in the cage located in the basement. After Sherry and Cary drop some major truth bombs on him, Theo attempts to find the key to the cage to free the pair.
Unfortunately, Love arrives, Theo confronts her and Love bashes him over the head with a fire extinguisher sending him tumbling down the stars. A pool of blood soon begins forming around Theo and it’s implied that he’s become Love’s latest victim.
However, in the season 3 finale, we discover that Theo survived Love’s attack. In a twist we definitely didn’t see coming, Joe takes sympathy on him and decides to take him to a local hospital rather than finishing the job Love started.
As the episode ends, we learn that Theo made it to the hospital in time and is going to make a full recovery from his injuries, thus opening the door for the character to return in future seasons.
You season 3 is streaming now on Netflix.
