The obsession over a girl might be a little much than it should of been,(not only in  season one but also season two). They “fall in love”, (if that’s what you want to call it) but are fighting and on and off with one another.The frightening discovery of joe in both seasons turns to a whole different insane. But in season two he thinks she is the one and she thinks he’s the one until the truth among each of them comes out to a twisting discovery. As that is happening his ex tries to expose what he has done before to her and many others. 

At the end of season two he’s in the backyard looking through the fence and says something about the neighbor lounging outside next door. Which is believed to be the woman in season three if there is going to be a such thing. The remark he thought to himself was in the directing of all the other women he obsessed over. Remember he’s still with Love and they have a surprise in the future that can change his and loves life.
