It’s interesting tracing Joe’s shows down to real life. Some of the stuff seems very real. Other things obviously concocted, then there’s a lot in the middle. 

I think the holy grail of this is Kate herself. Was she even real? Based loosely on a woman a friend of Joe’s was having a relationship with? A total fabrication? I think Joe took the answer with him.
