Ep 1. A Fresh Start

Joe Goldberg is back, and this time he's in Los Angeles, starting fresh as "Will Bettelheim." He seems to have learned some lessons from his past mistakes and is determined to leave his dangerous and obsessive behavior behind. He even goes so far as to visit a therapist to work through his issues.

Meanwhile, Love Quinn, a new love interest, catches his eye when he meets her at the organic grocery store where they both work. She's sweet, kind, and smitten with Joe after their initial interaction. However, when Joe starts to notice some red flags in her behavior, he becomes suspicious and begins to investigate her past.

As Joe tries to move on from his past, he discovers that it's not as easy as he thought. Old habits die hard, and he finds himself being pulled back into his old ways when faced with temptation and danger. He also realizes that he's not the only one in Los Angeles with a dark past, as he meets a neighbor, Delilah, who is also hiding secrets.

Throughout the episode, we see Joe struggling to control his urge to stalk and control Love, as his past experiences have left him paranoid and hyper-vigilant. As he tries to find a balance between being a good person and satisfying his darker desires, he becomes increasingly paranoid and starts to spiral out of control.

The tension in the episode builds as we see Joe unravel, and we're left wondering what's next for the character. Will he be able to keep his dark impulses in check? Will his past catch up with him, or is he really able to start fresh in a new city? These questions keep the audience engaged and on the edge of their seats, eager to see what's next for Joe.
