Considering the body count on the Netflix thriller You, the odds of survival for any new character are slim — especially when that character runs afoul of murderers Joe (Penn Badgley) and Love (Victoria Pedretti), as Gil (Mackenzie Astin) did in the third season.
So, does Gil die in Season 3?
Warning: Spoilers ahead!
Gil, described in his character bio as a “mild-mannered geology professor” who is “thoughtful, friendly, and genuinely good-hearted, if a bit vanilla and naive,” met the business end of a rolling pin at Love’s bakery in Season 3’s third episode. That blow doesn’t kill him, but he doesn’t make it out of the season alive…
Gil dies by suicide after learning the truth about his son.
In Episode 3, Gil comes into Love’s bakery and confesses that he and his wife are anti-vaxxers who didn’t give their twin girls the measles vaccine. That means that he’s the reason that Love and Joe’s son, Henry, came down with measles. Infuriated, Love hits Girl with a rolling pin and locks him in the glass cage in the bakery basement.

Joe and Love try to dig up dirt on Gil to coerce his silence, but the only thing they find is a family secret about his son abusing women. That secret, however, comes as news to Gil. And it’s devastating news to the professor — so devastating that Gil dies by suicide in the cage.
Of course, Joe and Love use that tragic twist to their advantage…
