In Part 2, Joe decides to jump off the bridge, and he’s ultimately rescued and survives.

The showrunner opened up about that decision, and whether it was possible he could have died.

“When Greg Berlanti and I were developing the series, we talked about the fact that there could be a season or a storyline from somebody else’s point of view. So that has always been part of the premise, it’s just that we have Penn,” they said.

“Why would we not keep writing for Penn? He just exceeded every expectation we had. That said, I’ve done a lot of things where people are dead and it’s fine. I’ve written entire seasons where they’re just ghosts or monsters or demons. Death is not the end for me, so I don’t even really think in those terms.”

There was also a big casting surprise in the new episodes!
