On Ordinary Joe Season 1 Episode 12, a blizzard forces each Joe to confront the limits of his own control…

Nurse Joe

Joe practiced his presentation of boring charts and figures in front of Chris and Kinsley and his computer crashed… the presentation wasn’t backed up. Kinsley made an astronaut theme revision to the deck and suggested he write a jingle for the pitch to make it more memorable. They decided to present via Zoom so the nervous factor is deaded.

They presented and added Kinsley’s ideas of the theme and the jingle. During the Q&A one of the execs asked how do husband and wife work together so successfully- assuming Joe and Kinsley were married! Kinsley corrected that Joe was her boss and Joe clarified they were friends. It was clear to the trio that the fun approach was better.

Amy got a bump, she was given the closing arguments honor in her case. Chris video chatted with Katie, the girl who introduced her buyer father to them. After the call, Chris discussed with his father about liking two people at the same time. Joe blew it with his reply. Jenny celebrated with her legal team and brought rounds of shots.

Kinsley returned because the blizzard shut down transportation. Joe thanked her for being a part of Chris’ life. Suddenly they got the email and the department store didn’t want to buy their pants. They wanted to acquire the company and work in-house! They were so excited and hugged but the power went out.

Barrett got a drunken Jenny to her room. She held his hand but he felt the need to leave. Joe and Kinsley talked over wine and he confided in her that she makes him better and they leaned in to kiss

Jenny and Joe on Ordinary Joe Season 1 Episode 12

Jenny and Joe on Ordinary Joe Season 1 Episode 12

Joe got his blood drawn for Lucas’ surgery and Jenny joined him. It was a bit awkward after their last exchange. Joe wanted to get to know Lucas. Jenny understood his dilemma but she was wedged between issues.

Flashback to when Joe completed the police academy and wanted to rekindle with Jenny. Ray came home and she told him. She was pregnant with Lucas and they decided not to tell Joe. Back then, she wanted him to wait for her. When she needed him the most her best friend wasn’t around. Joe was too late to be in her life so she moved on.

Joe came home to Amy and discovered his mom was out with James. Jenny invited him to Lucas’ surgery. Amy had good news too, her parents were coming into town and she was going to interview her father.

Lucas was very informed about his procedure as he discussed it with the surgeon pre-op. His only concern was waking up, Jenny kissed her boy before heading in, then Joe showed up.

Jenny was impatient and was encouraged to get something to eat. That gave Joe and Ray time to chat. Flashback to when Jenny was pregnant and Joe popped up at her door. She was going to answer but Ray reminded her of the one who was there for her and pleaded to be the child’s father. Jenny didn’t open the door and asked him to go away.

Ray was there to pick up the pieces when Joe left her after college. He knew Jenny made the decision to keep Lucas a secret from Joe. Ray confided that Lucas became his whole world and he was terrified if Joe showed up and took that from him

Joe saw Jenny and informed her that Ray told her everything and suddenly the lights in the hospital went out but backup generators kicked in. Joe became irate waiting and suddenly the surgeon gave them an update. Lucas made it through and his parents spoke with him… Joe left.

When Joe got home, Frank was there having a drink. He needed a favor from Joe. He would be reinstated and needed Joe’s recommendation, despite his drinking problem…

Music Joe

Joe rocked city to city… without Amy by his side. Yet a glass of liquor was to his lips at every chance. Joe was out of control and Uncle Frank tried to check him, even prompting him to call his wife. Yet he chose infidelity with Dion.

Joe had his father’s classic Porche brought to him and decided to drive city to city for the rest of the tour. Dion encouraged him while his loved ones advised against the move. Later on, he saw Amy’s campaign ad and called her. She didn’t answer and he left a voicemail, telling her that it’s better they were apart. He was still hurt about her affair- even accusing her of only being there when he was successful and verbally parted ways.

Eric came to give Amy good news but she was distraught about Joe’s voicemail. She thought Joe would come home since his tour was returning soon. She felt like she was choosing her miracle baby over her marriage. Eric consoled her.

While touring, Joe spotted a kid in the crowd with a sign that said, “I play your guitar solo better than you and I’m only 11!” He asked him to the stage. Young Simon took over the guitar and smoked the solo getting a bow from Joe! He rocked on letting the youngster play. Joe was so pumped (and inebriated) that he slipped off the stage!

Joe only bruised his ribs and was advised that his next tour dates would be canceled due to the blizzard. He demanded that it continue!

Frank needed to chat with Joe and was forced to boot Dion. While Joe chugged more liquor Frank confronted him about running from his problems. When Joe tried to give the recovering alcoholic a drink to shut him up, Frank offered his resignation. Joe ranted he didn’t need his uncle or anyone and would drive to the next city by himself. So he got in his car.

Joe and Dion raced down the highway and his song came on. They sang it, while distracted, an oncoming car forced them to veer off the road and into a tree!
