Fans of the show have been eagerly awaiting the resolution of Joe’s complex journey, and former showrunner Sera Gamble shared some intriguing insights into what viewers can expect. In an interview with ‘The Hollywood Reporter’, Gamble discussed Joe’s return to New York, a pivotal moment for his character.

“He has to come home again, and that is significant,” she said, hinting that this could mark a turning point for Joe.

Gamble also reflected on Joe’s psychological evolution throughout the series, noting that while his actions have often been justified in his mind, the final season will explore the possibility of him becoming more self-aware.

“Without sacrificing the beating heart of Joe, which is his romantic sensibility and his belief in love, we are very keen in knowing what happens if he doesn’t constantly mess up because he’s lying to himself about what he’s about to do,” she explained.
