The entire first season revolves around watching Joe get way with stalking and dangerously obsessing over Beck. All of us watching were praying that she would realise the truth about Joe, and at the end of the season, it finally happens. She discovers he isn't the man she thinks he is after finding his creepy mementos stashed in the bathroom, but by then, it's too late. He traps her in his basement box, and though we don't see it happen, it's heavily implied that Joe murders Beck. Her writing is published posthumously and she does become a famous writer — she just isn't alive to enjoy it.
