In a showdown at Anavrin, Forty desperately tries to tell Love who Joe really is and what he has really done. Meanwhile, Forty begins to piece together Joe's past and races to warn Love. She claims that she and Joe are the same. Then she drops another bombshell: she was the one who killed Forty's au-pair after she sexually abused him. According to Love, Joe was justified in his murderous actions because, like her, he was forced to do bad things while learning how to survive when they were really young. Not only does she forgive Joe's actions, she defends them. To his utter disbelief and horror, Love tells him that she was the one who killed Delilah and that she knows all about Joe's past after her family's PI managed to dig up some information on him. Joe is horrified and believes he has broken her. She goes back to Joe and tells him that she dealt with Candace. When Candace goes after her, Love turns around and in a shocking move, slashes Candace's throat with a broken bottle, instantly killing her. When Joe admits to his true colors, Love walks away, seemingly sickened, and vomits in a trash can. When Love arrives and finds Joe in the cage, she tells Candace to let him out and begs Joe to tell Candace he didn't do this. Candace calls Love so she can show her once and for all who Joe truly is. She manages to lock Joe in the cage along with Delilah, whom she assumes Joe killed, just as he did Beck and attempted to do to her. To make matters even worse, Candace, who has found Joe and is determined to keep Joe from harming the Quinn family, finds the keys to Joe's storage unit where he keeps his cage. Naturally, he assumes that he is the one who murdered her. To his horror, he finds Delilah dead in his cage, her throat slashed. After Forty drugs Joe in an attempt to channel their inner creative genius and finish the script for his film adaptation of Beck's ( Elizabeth Lail) book, Joe can't piece together the events of the night. Unfortunately, as he is making preparations, he runs into Forty who wants his help with the script they are working on. He sets a timer on the pair of handcuffs he uses on Delilah so that once he is long gone from LA, she will be freed.

Joe promises to Delilah that he will let her out after he makes plans to leave the city as quickly as possible. Like Joe shows in Season 1 with Paco, he has a soft spot when it comes to protecting children, likely due to the darkness of his own childhood. He knows that Delilah does not deserve to die, and more importantly to Joe, Ellie will be left alone if he kills Delilah. When Joe locks Delilah in his cage, he is determined to let her out and to prove to himself that he is not the murderer he has been in the past. In a shocking plot twist, it is revealed that Love murdered Delilah, Joe's neighbor and brief love interest who found out Joe's murderous history.

In the Season 2 finale, it becomes clear that Joe really has met his match.
