As Joe becomes a part of this high-society group, he meets Rhys Montrose (Ed Speleers), a candidate for mayor of London. At first, Joe and Rhys become close, but then something unexpected happens that shows Rhys to be a hallucination of Joe's darker side.
Taking over from Joe's mind, this other personality is to blame for killing Malcolm, Simon (Aidan Cheng), and Gemma (Eve Austin). Joe can't remember committing these crimes, so he thinks Rhys is the real killer. The "Eat the Rich" killer, on the other hand, turns out to be Joe himself, with his second personality taking over during his violent acts.
The season goes on, and Joe's fixation on women continues. He sets his sights on Malcolm's girlfriend, Kate (Charlotte Ritchie). Kate is cold toward Joe at first, but after Malcolm's death, she becomes more involved with him. After a tense conversation with Kate's father, billionaire Tom Lockwood (Greg Kinnear), it turns out that Kate is his daughter. To protect Kate, Joe kills Tom.
