The finale of the series poses the question of how to conclude Joe's story in a way that feels satisfying. As he goes on the run with a partner who desires answers, the episode explores themes of toxic relationships and the search for closure, questioning whether true closure is ever attainable. It reflects on how Joe's behavior isolates not only his partners but also himself. The tension between wanting a resolution and struggling against the complexity of Joe’s character is a central theme, presenting a bittersweet end to the narrative arc.
Death is too easy; getting away with it is too bleak. Door number three is prison, but how does he get there?
I feel like a different show would be making a commentary on the female-coded desire for "closure" at the end of a toxic relationship.
Joe's whole deal is that he operates alone and makes his romantic conquests feel alone, too; he isolates all of his female partners.
What if this one friendless girl took her serial-killer boyfriend someplace off the grid with nothing but a gun in her backpack?
