Joe is Ron. He just uses books instead of fists. The episode ends with a sequence that is more horrifying than any murder: Joe hacks Beck’s phone. He installs a spyware app. He watches her location in real-time as she goes to a bar, flirts with a guy named Benji (who we know is already dead, adding a layer of dramatic irony that chills the bone), and lies to him.
Joe cannot operate in ambiguity. His mind is a deterministic machine. He needs labels: "Mine," "Saved," "Target." When Beck tells him she wants an "Everythingship," she is essentially telling him she is not a novel to be finished; she is a serialized periodical with no ending in sight.
Joe justifies his cage (literally, the glass cage in the basement) as a tool of justice. He keeps his ex-girlfriend Candace (the ghost of Season 1) locked away because she "betrayed" him. He advises Paco to use intellect to defeat Ron. But by the end of the episode, when Joe realizes that Beck has lied about her therapist (she isn't going to sessions; she is seeing a married man for comfort), the Paco parallel snaps into focus.
This is where the episode performs its most radical surgery on the romance genre. In a normal romantic comedy, the male lead would learn to embrace the chaos. He would learn that love is messy. But Joe is not a romantic lead; he is an obsessive collector. When Beck goes out with her friends (including the ghost of Peach Salinger, whose influence looms large), Joe doesn't get jealous in a human way—he gets logistical.
Joe Goldberg is a human AC3 encoder. Throughout the first six episodes, he has been listening to Beck’s life and aggressively discarding the "noise"—her flakiness, her infidelity, her trauma, her literary pretension. He keeps only the melody: her smile, her love of books, her vulnerability.
He tracks her phone. He stalks her Uber. He calculates the probability of infidelity based on her texting frequency.
