‘Noo Rhys don’t be a figment of my imagination ur so sexy aha..’

[castial]

Kate: this is my boyfriend Jonathan (Joe) and this is Jonathan's boyfriend Rhys (imaginary)

[sorryfucker]

"goldrose" possibly being the joe/rhys ship name is SO FUCKING GOOD

[hoffstrahm]

Oh goldrose real goldrose REAL

[thequeenofsastiel]

"You" really went "We could be only the second show in the American film industry to explore murder husbands(and go in more depth than Hannibal got to) OR we could do the hundredth tired and offensive portrayal of dissociative identity disorder" and chose the latter.

Stuff I would've liked to see if Rhys was real and not Joe's hallucination and Joe got over his hangup and did accept that he was a cold-blooded psycho killer and he likes killing actually, especially these people:

Rhys actually being friends with 'Jonathan Moore' and coming to the university to give a talk to his class about voting in the elections or something and Nadia sensing something off about their closeness because of course she would

Kate feeling like the third wheel when the three of them hang out together at Sundry House because what Rhys and Joe have is more than friendship

Joe actually liking Lady Phoebe and learning about Adam's plans to marry her for money and with Kate's suspicions about him being not good for her, decides to take out Adam next and tells Rhys who is absolutely thrilled that Joe is finally initiating things

Rhys and Joe bickering about the best way to kill (Joe makes his plans but he tends to go overboard when things go wrong and kills people accidentally way more often than not. Rhys who prefers planning every detail and contingency before they get into it)

But Gemma being who she is says something insensitive in front of Rhys when the group is discussing his plans as a mayor and also jokingly says that Jonathan might be the killer

Rhys getting super mad and killing Gemma the first opportunity he gets - not just because of what she said about minorities but because he's now more protective of Joe

Joe being the one who has to help Rhys get rid of the evidence this time and control him from going on any more anger-fueled kills because Rhys might also kill Roald the same way

Joe and Rhys staging Gemma's murder as another Eat-the-Rich killer death and Rhys giving more interviews about crime in London going unchecked because he has to but also talking more about wealth inequality and how the city's resources are being misappropriated

Rhys and Joe talking about books in between murders, Joe telling him about his work as a professor and how proud he is of his students especially Nadia who has written this great book (yes, he actually reads it) - and Rhys also agrees to read it

Nadia being so happy about getting feedback from the actual Rhys Montrose, the literary sensation, is reading her book that she forgets all about the off vibes she got and secures her future as a successful student who gets her degree without getting wrapped up in any murder business beyond reading about Eat the Rich killer in the news

Rhys and Joe finally executing their plan of capturing Adam but Roald's there too so they get them both and kidnap them

Adam being confused about why he's there at all and begging for his life because he's actually broke and saying how he thought they were friends

Roald just being a dick about it and saying how he always knew Jonathan was a killer but he tries appealing to Rhys saying he's a good person and Jonathan has probably corrupted him

Joe and Rhys just exchanging amused glances while this happens and then killing them together, like the murder husbands they are

But this happens to take a bit longer than they planned for and Joe is late to meet Kate

Rhys confronting Joe about the feelings they share because Joe might still be 'dating' Kate but Kate will never know him like he does

Joe just thinking about Rhys the whole time he is with Kate and then they hear the news about Adam and Roald's murder and he has to pretend to be shocked and Kate gets distracted by what's happening so she doesn't say anything for now

Kate's father sending even more security to her which makes her confide in Jonathan about her past with her father and how much she dislikes him

As Kate's father is also having articles published against Rhys

Joe talking to Rhys about it and they decide to kill her father together - but Rhys only agrees on the condition that Joe ends things with Kate because if he is the one to comfort her after her father dies knowing he's the reason for his death, he actually might have a psychotic break

Plus, isn't it better for her now that she's free? Wouldn't she want to start a new life, away from everyone who reminds her of the terrible time she's had the last couple of months with everyone dying?

Joe reluctantly agrees

Joe uses Kate's phone to call Kate's father to a meeting point where he'll be alone and Rhys and Joe ambush him

Tom Lockwood is actually surprised that Rhys is the Eat the Rich killer - he knew Jonathan was Joe and capable of killing but Rhys was a complete surprise

Rhys hears him try to talk his way out of this - Tom Lockwood even agreeing to back his election campaign but Rhys doesn't want his dirty money funding his run and he's confident he can win on his own

Joe is more than a little proud of that

Rhys lets Joe kill him - but he knows that if Joe isn't the one to pull the trigger, there is a chance he can rationalize his way out of it and get back together with Kate so he has to be the one to shoot Tom Lockwood

Joe knows what Rhys is doing but he goes along because he does feel something for Rhys that he doesn't with Kate, not at all

Joe and Rhys framing Lockwood's death as a suicide because otherwise it would draw too much attention

Rhys being a little sad they couldn't credit his death to the Eat the Rich killer, which was now their shared persona together, it would've been their magnum opus, but at least they'll always know it was them who pulled it off

Kate having conflicting feelings about her father's death, not believing that he would kill himself

Joe pulling away from Kate but also nudging Lady Phoebe to be there for her

Kate seeing Jonathan talk to Rhys and sees their chemistry that's now even more obvious and making the move to break up with him

And when Nadia hears about this, she just accepts that the vibes she got from Joe and Rhys was just them being in love and nothing sinister

Kate going on a vacation somewhere far away with Lady Phoebe

Rhys winning the election as the mayor because of course he would

Rhys coming to Joe's door on his winning night because he's the only one he wants to celebrate with

Joe already having a bottle of the best champagne ready because he knew Rhys would come

And finally, them planning their future together and setting their sights on the bad people in politics
