He was traumatized by it when he ran to the only person he could, Mooney. Why do people say controversial things so close to ledges and stairs?Įlijah must have been Joe's first victim. You knew the guy was going over the ledge the moment he started babbling about Candace. He did everything but call Candace a whore, but the sentiment was there. His attempts at solidarity slipped into being derogatory. : You're crazy! What are you going to co about Joe, hm?Įlijah was genuinely contrite about the matter, but he messed up going on and on about how terrible a person Candace was for what she did to Joe.I don't love you I never haveĬandace: You're crazy! What are you going to co about Joe, hm?
I know you do, I can see it in your eyes.Ĭandace: No, Joe. Candace, I don't care about what happened between you and Elijah, and you love me, we can get past this. It's possible Joe wouldn't have done anything before he shoved Elijah over the ledge on impulse, but the Joe who killed Elijah and was protected by Mooney didn't think twice. It's hard to feel sympathy for a woman who cheated on her boyfriend to advance in her career, didn't show an ounce of remorse and then challenged Joe to do something about it. Of course, it didn't do her any good in the end. Joe gifted Candace a first-edition of the classic, but Candace didn't have much interest in literature nor Joe for that matter.īeck's motivations for choosing Joe are questionable, and so is her professing to love him. It coincided with learning more about Candace via flashback, and we learned of Mooney too. The incorporation of Wuthering Heights during this hour was clever. Joe's distorted romanticism has him constantly attempting to squeeze his love interests between the pages of his classic literature, and when he eventually tires of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, he loses it.

Darcy, but the women he meets in the real world are not like the fictional heroines he reads about. His relationships can sustain for a bit with him putting forth his best attempt at being who he envisions himself as a rendition of Mr. It's like everything he learned about women, love, and relationships derived from the books he read. Joe has terrible taste in women, no game, a damaging impression of being a "nice guy," and a pesky habit of being sucked into the orbit of women during meet-cutes.

Then, building up to the seasons most anticipated moment: Beck discovering the truth and the prey facing her predator, the series provided enough insight into Joe that he remained sympathetic even as he watched Beck through the glass from a distance. YOU spent the season making a known baddie relatable and arguably endearing. Not everyone shares those thoughts or feel the need to act on them. Everyone has had a mild type of pretentious, deluded, disparaging, mean, and impulsive thoughts that Joe has. That's why the use of voiceovers are integral to the entire YOU experience.
But what all of that has taught me, everything goes to shit when I don't follow my instincts. Loving Candace, forgetting Mooney, trying to help Claudia. Trusting my parents would come back for me someday was a mistake. What separates those of us who fall short of being certified stalkers and murderers from Joe are restraint, moral ethics, and impulse control. We understand and can accept Joe's motivations and mechanizations it's his actions that are the most problematic. More than any previous segment, this hour made sense of Joe's crazy. It's also thrilling because try as you might distance yourself from Joe's particular brand of crazy there is a twisted validation for Joe, but also for those of us who are enjoying him far more than we should.

It's troubling to reach that conclusion knowing full well of his terrible misdeeds. On a larger scale, in hindsight, Joe's instincts have been accurate. For Joe, it specifically pertained to his gut feeling that Beck was sleeping with Dr. Joe isn't the most reliable narrator, but one particular voiceover was notable and a game-changer.
