In the ridiculous and colorful world ofYou, the above is all the explanation you need for Joe's peculiar psychology. He is a traumatized man who does terrible things that he absolves himself of because, deep down, he believes that he is a good boy. He is also a serial obsessive and stalker of women, whom he idealizes because he fears being abandoned by them and is extremely paranoid of being cheated on, which, to be fair to Joe's instincts, often is.

We still don't know what made Ivan Mooney the person he was, but it probably involved his mother and a rare first edition ofThe Count of Monte Cristo.

After all, Mooney had some pretty incriminating information on Joe, who stumbled upon him after committing what we think was his second murder (but could just as well have been his ninth or sixteenth, depending on how future flashbacks play out).

candace piedra

Now that he was older and working at Mooney's, Joe was dating an aspiring musician from New York.Candace, but beginning to suspect that she was cheating on him. Joe followed her, spied her in a compromising position with high-profile record label executive Elijah, and then confronted Elijah, who said that Candace had never mentioned a boyfriend, so Joe pushed him off the rooftop of Candace. the city. However, Mooney told Joe not to worry and that some people deserved to die, which is exactly what Joe needed to hear for his next move.

Joe's next move was to confront Candace and then, when she told him she never loved him, knock her unconscious, tie him up, pack a picnic basket, and take her to their favorite romantic spot in the woods for the night. Candace tried to run away from her, but was caught, and in the ensuing struggle, she hit her head and passed out. Thinking she was dead, Joe buried her and, in one of her many foolproof plans, he told everyone that she had moved to Italy on a whim. But Candace wasn't dead! He crawled out of that grave and went to the police, who were worse than useless. Candace spent four months in a sanitarium, then she patiently waited for her time so she could show up alive in the season one finale to scare Joe, andIn factdestroy it insecond season. (She won't.
