I'm still a bit baffled as to how no one raised any red flags about Beck's ex disappearing for a LONG time. I get why she thought that he was off the grid and doing shady stuff again, but the dude had a job and a partner. Didn't anyone at work wonder where he was? Or at least his family should have probed further, and realise that he had literally disappeared? (probably for plot purposes but still)

I'm guessing that Joe injured Candace and left her for dead, but she somehow survived and she's decided to blackmail him now, instead of going to the cops?
