Again, Joe seeks revenge on Dr. Nicky for his affair with Beck, and buries her body in his backyard.
When the cage is introduced, it's clear that the season will only end one way: with Beck in the cage and Joe eventually killing her. The cage represents Joe's need for control and how he feels that he isn't good enough or lovable because of the trauma that he has from his difficult childhood and his mother's neglect.
Beck has just enough doubts about Joe to go looking, and she finds a box full of evidence that he's been stalking her all along: her stolen phone, diary, tampons; Benji and Peach's phones; a box full of teeth.
Guinevere Beck
Guinevere, called 'Beck' on the show, ended up locked in Joe's infamous glass cage after discovering that Joe had been obsessed with her, stalking her and that he killed Benji. She was murdered (off-screen) by Joe after trying to escape the glass cage.

What happened to Paco? At the end of You, Paco is seen moving out of New York with his mother.
Severe bruising around her neck revealed that Joe choked her to death. “You hurt me,” her ghost said. “Look at me, Joe,” she continued, as she removed her scarf to expose her scars. Beck's death in the book version of You, written by Caroline Kepnes, is similar to that in the Netflix series.
Joe and Beck date on and off for a few months, but after Peach's death, they really connect and seem like they're in a good place (from Joe's perspective). But then he figures out that the whole time they've been together, she's actually been sleeping with her therapist, Dr. Nicky (played by John Stamos).

The urine jar: Joe leaves behind a jar of his urine in Peach's home after killing her (not a sex thing; he just couldn't hold it in). Joe even wonders if urine contains DNA. As it turns out, it rarely does, but he still may have left his fingerprints on the container.
