In the show Sex Education , Jakob’s story mostly wraps up off-screen by the time you get to season 4.

What happens to Jakob in the story?

  • In season 3, Jean tells Jakob that he is not the biological father of her baby, Joy, after he had believed he was throughout the pregnancy.
  • This completely breaks his trust in her, and he ultimately walks out on Jean after learning the truth.
  • By season 4, Jean mentions Jakob a couple of times, but he never appears; it’s implied that their relationship is over for good.
  • The show strongly suggests that Jakob and his daughter Ola have moved away from Moordale, leaving Jean to raise Joy on her own.

In season 4 specifically

  • Jakob does not show up on screen at all.
  • His absence is treated as a painful but final consequence of the broken trust between him and Jean.

So, in short: Jakob leaves Jean after finding out Joy isn’t his biological child, their relationship ends, and by season 4 he and Ola are gone from Moordale, only referenced in dialogue rather than appearing on screen.
