The Following "For Joe" Review

http://astore.amazon.com/jashykins-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=41
Again I kept dreaming of writing an Animorphs and The Following crossover fic, that if it comes won't be for awhile, when I watched this episode.

As for the episode itself?

At the end of last episode we saw Joe Carrol living out in the middle of nowhere. This week it seems that the mother wants to try and reform him. That seems to have worked out well as things indicate Joe is trying to put his past behind him, though he still does check for messages from his followers.

What gave me a hint of whether or not Joe was going to revert to his past self (besides the necessity of the plot) was the fact that the whore's daughter asked how killing felt. That just gave me a bad feeling that not only would Joe revert but that the daughter would become a new follower of his.

Later in the episode the priest, who had been shown to have had sex with the daughter's mother, found out the truth about Joe who had been going by the name Darryl for a year. This caused both Joe and the daughter to attack him.

So now our good old Joe is back!

Ryan Hardy is going through is his own problems. Like last episode he is wanting to work on his own, but this episode he is brought to work with the FBI again.

He is lead by the twins to try and save Lily Gray who was the survivor of the attack on the train in the Season Premiere.

This shows both that Ryan might have a thing for her and that he is too caught up in himself to not realize that the FBI was protecting her. It never crossed his mind because he had felt like he was important as his constant saying of what amounted to 'they called me so I am important'.

This reminds me of last week's episode of Pretty Little Liars because of how Spencer told Emily she was being manipulated by Allison in around the same way.

And, yes, the twins had a creepy ass scene of killing a family (but not harming the kid of course) and then having a dinner with them. Basically treating the dead family like they were still living like they did with the girl in the previous episode.
