By season 4, after searching high and low to track down Marienne, Joe makes her his prisoner, however, after forming an unlikely alliance with student Nadia, she escapes.

In season 5, Marienne reclaims her sense of self with full force. Back in New York, she’s joined by Nadia and, surprisingly, Joe’s soon-to-be ex-wife Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) as they unite with a shared goal: to stop Joe for good. Not only this, she plays a pivotal role in warning Bronte to not fall for Joe's charm, and helps her realise just how dangerous Joe is. It’s a full-circle moment for a character who once tried to run from Joe, is now standing at the centre of his reckoning.

Nadia Harran (Amy-Leigh Hickman)
