You season five brings Joe Goldberg's story to a close, but it's the appearance of a Yellowstone favourite that has
Netflix
subscribers buzzing.
Joe Goldberg (portrayed by Penn Badgley) has been wreaking havoc in Netflix's You since 2018, with season five marking the beginning of the end for his reign of terror.
After returning to New York with his new wife Kate Lockwood, played by Charlotte Ritchie, he encounters aspiring writer Bronte, played by Madeline Brewer, three years later.
It doesn't take a genius to predict that she was destined to be his next romantic interest.
However, in a surprising twist, it turns out that Bronte is actually catfishing Joe, attempting to expose him as she believes he murdered her friend Beck, played by Elizabeth Lail, which he did, back in the first season.

She and her friends manage to capture footage of him killing Dr Nicky's son Clayton, played by Tom Francis, while defending Bronte and they post this video on social media.
There are many familiar faces who share their stories about Joe online, but there are some men who vent their anger at Bronte for deceiving him initially.
One of these men is Dane Robinson, played by Jefferson White, who appears in episode seven, #JoeGoldberg, and attempts to kidnap Bronte before Joe, who was already tracking her, steps in.
While initially repulsed by the character Dane, fans were taken aback when they realized he was played by none other than Yellowstone actor Jefferson White.

The 35-year-old is internationally recognized for his portrayal of the endearing ranch hand Jimmy Hurdstrom in all five seasons of the Paramount Network Western drama.
He was slated to appear in the upcoming Yellowstone spin-off 6666 after Jimmy was sent to the famous ranch where he fell for vet Emily (Kathryn Kelly), though there has been scant news about this spin-off.
In You season five, Joe and Bronte work through their issues before he presents her with a gift - Dane trapped in his signature glass box.
Joe tells Bronte she can do whatever she wants with him but even after learning about his plans to assault another woman, she sets him free.
Bronte doesn't want to kill like Joe but understands his perspective, leading them to a compromise.
However, this isn't satisfactory for Joe and it's later revealed that he stabs Dane to death on the street, completing the task he wanted Bronte to carry out.
You is available to watch on Netflix and Yellowstone on Paramount Network and Paramount+.

8 historic board games that originated in Asia
2. Shogi (Japan, approximately 8th century) Above Shogi (Photo: Mahmoud Adel / Unsplash) If Western chess is war with honour, shogi is war with espionage, betrayal and reincarnation. Known as Japanese chess, shogi was played by samurai and is still a cultural mainstay, with televised tournaments and manga fame (see: March Comes in Like a Lion ). What makes shogi interesting is how captured pieces switch sides. Your opponent's bishop, for example, can become your assassin. Brutal, poetic and very Kill Bill . Where to play it now: Try shogi apps or dive into the real-deal woodboard version sold at Tokyo's Nakamura Jōki shop (established 1859). You can also stream a match and watch pros in kimonos face off like it's an intellectual WWE showdown. 3. Xiangqi (China, 12th to 13th century AD) Above Xiangqi (Photo: Vyacheslav Koval / Unsplash) Xiangqi is what happens when military strategy meets Taoist thinking. The gameboard mimics a battlefield, complete with a 'river' that divides the two armies and 'palaces' to protect the king (general). Cannons jump over pieces to attack, and elephants can't cross water. As far as board games go, it can be fast, fierce and is often played by shirtless uncles in the parks of Beijing, where he will obliterate you in around 40 moves. Where to play it now: Visit Hong Kong's Victoria Park or Taipei's chess squares. See more: Game on! Spice up your group outings with these fun board games 4. Makruk (Thailand, 12th to 14th century) Above Makruk (Photo: B20180 / Wikimedia Commons) Makruk is Thailand's elegant version of chess, and many argue it's even closer to the game's original Indian ancestor, chaturanga (which we'll discuss later). Here, pawns turn into queens, pieces have more limited range and endgames are more strategic than chaotic. It's like playing chess in a tuxedo—more refined, less brutal. Unlike many of these board games, which have gone to obscurity, Thai kids still learn makruk at school, and the game is often played at temples or during quiet family gatherings. It is less performative than Western chess, but just as savage underneath. Where to play it now: Look for local chess cafés in Bangkok or visit Some luxury hotels even offer makruk boards in their libraries. 5. Pachisi (India, 4th century CE) Above Pachisi (Photo: Jan Ranft / Unsplash) Pachisi, also known as the royal game of India, is over 1,000 years old and was reportedly played with live courtiers as pawns at Emperor Akbar's palace. The cross-shaped board symbolises karma and fate, and the game blends chance (cowrie shells were used instead of dice) with strategy. It later inspired Ludo, Sorry! and every friendship-ending move in Parcheesi. Think of it as the chic, ancient ancestor of modern party games, but with better outfits and more drama. Where to play it now: You'll still find hand-painted pachisi boards in Rajasthan's artisan markets. You can also download a digital version to play while waiting for your turmeric latte. 6. Hanafuda (Japan, 18th century) Above Hanafuda (Photo: Marcus Richert / Wikimedia Commons) When Western playing cards were banned in Japan, gamblers and rebels made their own. Enter hanafuda, or 'flower cards'. Each card represents a month with poetic floral illustrations (think cherry blossoms, irises, maple leaves). It's part memory game, part art appreciation. Where to play it now: You can still buy exquisite hanafuda decks in Kyoto (Nintendo, which started as a hanafuda card manufacturer, makes them) or download apps to play. Koi-Koi is its most famous variant. 7. Chaturanga (India, 6th century) Above Chaturanga (Photo: Chaturaji / Wikimedia Commons) Long before pawns dreamed of promotions and bishops cut across diagonals, there was chaturanga, the grandfather of board games. It's a game of military strategy from ancient India that would go on to become chess as the world knows it. Played on an eight-by-eight board and featuring four divisions of the Indian army (infantry, cavalry, elephants and chariots), chaturanga mimicked battlefield tactics in turn-based form. It travelled westward to Persia (where it became shatranj), passed through the Islamic world and eventually reached medieval Europe, picking up queens, bishops and castles along the way. While modern chess has shed many of its Sanskrit roots, the soul of the game remains distinctly Asian. And in case you're wondering: yes, the term 'checkmate' is derived from the Persian 'shāh māt'—meaning 'the king is helpless'. Where to play it now: Modern recreations of chaturanga can be found in historical gaming museums or online platforms. For a cultural deep dive, some Indian museums and game cafés host traditional board game nights featuring ancient classics like chaturanga, pachisi and moksha patamu.

Mahjong (China, mid-1800s) Above Mahjong (Photo: Jing Bo Wang / Unsplash) Some say mahjong is a game, others say it's a lifestyle. Born in the Qing Dynasty and codified in the 19th century, mahjong combines memory, strategy, luck and the kind of family feuds that only a four-player table can inspire. With its beautifully etched tiles and hypnotic clacking, mahjong isn't just played, it's performed. The game reflects Confucian ideals of harmony and balance, and its complexity has kept generations hooked across Asia and beyond. Mahjong travelled with Chinese diaspora communities in the early 20th century and was quickly embraced in the West, particularly among Jewish American women in the 1920s (a love affair that still thrives today). Today, it's both highbrow and homey: fashion houses like Valentino and Gucci have created mahjong-inspired accessories, and luxury game sets can run into the thousands. Where to play it now: Drop by Hong Kong or Shanghai teahouses or Taiwanese night markets where you'll find old masters and eager rookies locked in all-day tile battles. You can also check Chinatown communities worldwide. Whether it's NYC or Vancouver, mahjong parlours remain social hubs. Brands like Mahjong Line have also given the game a Gen-Z facelift with colourful redesigns and Instagram-friendly sets.

Kawah Putih (White Crater) Above Turquoise lake at Kawah Putih in West Java, Indonesia (Photo: Unsplash / Maneesh Shahani) Located approximately 50 kilometres south of Bandung, Kawah Putih is a volcanic crater lake whose unique, shifting hue is a main draw.
