He chastises Bronte at first, telling her that no one will ever love her as much as he does.
Joe plays the victim when this fails and after his small son Henry calls him a “monster,” crying about how unlovable he is and asks Bronte if this is what he deserves.
When Bronte refuses to fall for this either, Joe becomes blatantly hostile, brags about how he got away with killing her friend on video, and then assaults her, hitting her in the face.
A tense pursuit follows, and, in a fairly ingenious move, this is the first time in five seasons that viewers are shown Joe’s true strength and terror without any of his signature charm.
