Rhys claims that his now-dead friends have become a burden to his campaign in various ways. Now that they're gone, he plans to destroy this Eat the Rich Killer story, and Joe will be responsible for putting an end to this story.
Rhys orders Joe to find someone they can slander, and if Joe fails to do so, he will be responsible for all this. Joe searches for someone he can slander at Kate's art exhibition; Someone who would sensibly sound like a murderer.

Joe visits Lockwood, who offers him Rhys' location. A story in the news suggesting that Rhys' memories were fabrications forced Rhys into hiding. Rhys is all alone in a country house and that's what Joe needed.
Lockwood instructs Joe to get rid of Rhys, and Joe does the job wholeheartedly. The only problem is that the real Rhys dies, but whoever meets Joe every day does not die.
It is later revealed that Joe never left Marienne. He kept her in a cage in a shelter. She fed him and took care of him. In doing so, he was listening to Rhys and learning a lot about him.
Joe tried to change himself, but his alter ego, who later became Rhys, kept him from doing so. This personality soon took over and began manipulating Joe.
Joe never met Rhys in real life; He only imagines this other persona, who looks like Rhys and is intent on killing those who threaten them.
Joe doesn't remember what he did to Marienne because Rhys did it all. If Joe tries, he'll be able to remember where he put it, but first he has to accept who he really is.
In the midst of all this, Nadia, Joe's student, began to become suspicious of Joe after watching him become a hero to his friends for the second time. She concludes that she is someone who knows more than she thinks.
Nadia investigates who her professor really is and eventually finds Marienne. After Nadia comes up with a plan, she promises to come back for him and save him from Joe.

Nadia doesn't make it in time to save Marienne, and neither does Joe. Looks like Marienne took the pills inside the cage to kill herself. Joe is left with no choice but to make Marienne sit on a park bench and make it look like she died of addiction.
Meanwhile, Kate grapples with her father, Lockwood, who not only offers her his entire company, but reveals that he's so successful today as Kate holds the strings and makes it all work for her.

Sen The end of episode 4 of season 2 has been explained in detail:
Is Joe committing suicide?
Joe continues to believe it's not safe to be around someone like Kate. Joe admits that he will never have anything good. She's tried this before, and it won't be any different for Kate.
This leads Joe to push his other personality, Rhys, into the waters. After Rhys, Joe jumps into the river. Although Joe wanted to die, he was saved by the cops. Kate woke up in a hospital waiting for her.
Kate knows what her father made Joe do. The DNA found in Rhys' body says it all, but Kate has covered Joe's face because Joe has helped Joe understand that he's a good person over the past few days.
Kate knows inside that Joe is a good person too, and as such, she needs him so they can help each other be well. Joe had needed to hear this for a very long time.
If she's there for him in difficult times, Kate is ready to be there for him. He then asks Joe about his past and decides to tell him the truth.
Is Marienne still alive?
Nadia's quest to arrest Joe continues. During this struggle, her boyfriend, Edward, begins to assume he is using her. Nadia soon reveals to him who their Professor, Jonathan Moore, really is and what he does.
While telling her the story, she also shares how she actually managed to save Marienne. Plan A was to knock Joe out and give Marienne a gun that would allow him to kill Joe.
The two had another plan in case Nadia couldn't make it in time. This plan saw Marienne pretend to be dead using the drugs Nadia had given her. The duo also gave Marienne a reason to kill herself so that Joe would make her believe in everything Marienne did.
Marienne had instructed Joe to contact her friend, who had a daughter. Nadia disguised as Marienne's friend and claimed that Marienne had lost custody of her daughter, leaving Marienne no choice but to kill herself.
The pills Marienne uses are beta-blockers. If enough is taken, they slow the person's heart rate and the person appears to be dead. Nadia then followed Joe to the park and arrived when she left Marienne's body and injected her into Marienne to bring her back.
Now, Marienne is far away with her daughter and is happy for Joe, who has started a new life with Kate. She is happy that life is giving her a chance to save herself.
Will Joe kill Nadia?
Since watching Marienne, Nadia has come to the conclusion that Joe is an obsessive person who doesn't let things go easy. That's why they need to make sure he's behind bars.
Thinking that Joe is obsessed with people, Nadia and Edward assume that their victims are keeping their belongings as souvenirs. The couple retrieves evidence regarding Rhys at his apartment, but they unfortunately encounter Rhys.
Joe confronts Nadia and explains that she has been given a real chance to redeem herself and plans to make the most of it. This led to him killing Edward, whose body was found nearby by Nadia.
Joe puts Rhys's belongings in the bedroom and accuses Nadia of Edward's death. Nadia refused to speak in her defense and still hasn't spoken from inside the prison.
Where are Joe and Kate going?
Joe and Kate are now the powerful couple who run Lockwood's company. Cynthia, who was once Lockwood's assistant, and Lockwood's sources helped them fabricate a story that brought Joe back to his old self.
Joe is back to being Joe Goldberg in the eyes of the world. He has accepted who he is and likes to think that love can be complete if a person is complete.
Joe and Kate plan to change the world. Joe has a lot of tools to do that now, and killing is one of them. And it's much easier to kill now, but Joe is more honest about it now.
