Devastated, Joe wrenches the truth out of Beck, who admits she was lying and says she loves him like she's never loved anyone — she got confused because she didn't know what to do with that love. That speaks straight to Joe's heart, and they make up; she's completely forgiven.

After realizing that Joe was in love with Marienne, who worked at the library with him, Love put in place a plan to end Joe's life.
Love uses the bottle to slit Candace's throat. This is more or less the same way she'd previously killed the au pair who was hooking up with her brother, Forty, when they were kids. Later, Love takes Candace's body to Anavrin where she presumably disposes of it.
Together, the couple captures Gil, a local dad and geology professor who admits his unvaccinated children gave Henry measles. Love knocks him on the head with a rolling pin; to deal with the Gil problem, they lock him in their convenient cage downstairs.
When Joe's mother left him for a new family, it left a super deep mental and emotional scar in Joe. that has never healed. That scar has always made Joe feel unloved and unwanted. So when Joe looks at love after he finds out who she truly is, he can't stand her because he's literally her.

As he is about to pull the trigger, Officer Fincher enters the room and shoots Forty, killing him instantly. Love cradles her dead brother's body and bawls as Joe comforts her.

Love catches Joe fantasizing about someone else, at which point she shouts their safe word, ending all operations.
