I know I felt so bad for her even though it was a terrible decision.

Her and Joe had a cute relationship. Is surprising how much Joe seemed to enjoy being a father figure

I was surprised she didn't say a word about where Joe was even when the twins tortured her

Mandy was so naive thinking Lily would just take her in without wanting anything in return. She was safer with Joe

I was a little bit surprised but she did love him enough that she killed her own mother to stay with him.

I guess she just bought Lily's mother act because she was so desperate for a mother of her own.

But to endure physical torture for Joe? Then again, she wasn't the first follower willing to die for him

I agree with that...she was better with Joe..he cared for her!

And i enjoyed their relationship

collide into you · 06-24-2015, 10:48 AM

He had a better relationship with her than with his own son, for sure

Keeper in Training · 06-24-2015, 12:10 PM

Yea, Joey pretty much knew what was up and didn't want anything to do with Joe. One of my favorite scenes with Joe will always be the first time he speaks to him though.

I loved his relationship with Mandy too. There were a few sweet deleted scenes between the two on the S2 dvd. Unfortunately poor Mandy probably really did think that Joe would throw her in the hole after hearing that conversation with Emma

collide into you · 06-27-2015, 03:16 AM

The s'mores scene was kinda cute but yeah, the kid didn't trust him one bit.

Ugh Emma. She didn't like sharing Joe with anyone.

Keeper in Training · 06-30-2015, 11:25 PM

There was a deleted scene on the S1 dvd where Joey flat out tells Emma that his dad was an evil man who killed people when she asked why he was giving Joe the cold shoulder. Wish we would have gotten more scenes between the two

I never understood why they had Emma get so petty and jealous towards Mandy. It's not like she was a romantic threat. Plus she wasn't anywhere near the killer Emma was so she wasn't a threat as Joe's right hand man either

The kid was smart and Joe couldn't charm him the way he did his followers.

Emma was possessive like that, I guess

Keeper in Training · 07-08-2015, 11:28 PM

Nope, he had Joe's brains and Claire's morals/strong will so he wasn't falling for it. It's kind of sad that Joe could charm everyone except the person he actually wanted to love him the most.

Yea, it just kind of surprised me because they made her more independent of Joe than season 1. Old habits die hard though I guess

I wonder if Joe would have raised Joey to be like him if he had never gotten caught
