* At first glance, the entire conflict about whether Susan should be taken by Joe right now or not makes no sense because of TheProblemFightingWithDeath; as in, Joe could have just waited till Susan's time comes. FridgeBrilliance, however, states that in his human form Joe began to experience time rather differently (Bill correctly guessed that being human took its toll on Joe) so some extra years without Susan probably seemed to him to be much longer than were he in his usual timeless form. His newly found appreciation of the human sense of time is hinted at in his threat to Drew at the end - by that time Joe had actually understood that to a human even a day might seem long enough, let alone a millennium.
