Three months have passed since the breakup and Joe is, allegedly, a changed man.
(Remember how Beck was incapable of sorting books?)
A Kindle!Shudder.
Joe has cut himself off so completely, hes only looking at Becks Facebook three times a day!
He keeps his hands busy by rubbing Karens feet while she watches terrible CBS sitcoms.
Taking a walk around the block.
Beck sees her opening and texts Joe, who has his read receipts on (amateur!)
and tries, but fails, to get Beck and Joe to make better decisions.
I did laugh out loud when he said I have great metaphors.
Beck whines to Stamos that Joes new girlfriend puts stickers on pictures and other such appalling transgressions.
Meanwhile, Joe explains Ronaldo and I used to make fun of people who said babe.
Dont we all, though?
And then they have sex a bunch more times.
What do you all make of the whole stairwell urchins mom plotline?
I dont know what, exactly.
Make this episode feel a million hours long?
It is sad and strange and sort of gratuitous.
What are we learning, here?
That your soundproof torture-slash-murder dungeon can, in a pinch, serve as a safe space to detox?
We already know Joe is a bad person!
We have watched him kill TWO people.
I guess the only takeaways here are 1.
Ron is back and 2.)
the hallway ragamuffin is angry with Joe now that Ron has returned.
(And Blythe tells Joe, Personally, Im of the opinion that all penetration under patriarchyisrape.)
Lets face it, I am no good for you.
But Karen Minty is.
Im sorry, it is hilarious that they insist on referring to her as Karen Minty.
No one else in this show is named Karen!
Its not like they need to clarifywhichKaren they mean.
Joes been dating her for three months.
Its over, he says, which, rude.
I like Karen a lot!
Get as far away from Joe as you could.
What a thrilling reunion.
Turns out youre my Get Out Of Joe Free Card.
You showed me who he really is.
But she saves her best dig for last: Just be careful!
Ive got a feeling youre no Candace.
Maybe hell do whatever he did to Candace.
Im still hoping its something more interesting than just, he killed her.
But maybe thats whatYouhas done to me: Made me numb to homicide as a plot gadget.
