Biography
Fighting Joseph Carver
In 2020, Joe discovered a mole in the department and started to investigate with David Singh not knowing he is the mole. Later, they fought against Sunshine sent to acquire the prismatic refractor which is about to be transferred to A.R.G.U.S.. As Joe and David got overwhelmed by Sunshine, Barry arrives and Joe tosses the refractor to him. Eventually, Barry locked Sunshine in his lab with no curtains which took away her powers and Joe arrested her.[1]
A week later, Joe was nearly assassinate by Rag Doll on his own car but was able to escape from it seconds before its explosion. David and the rest of Team Flash arrives and talked to him. They suggested witness protection but Joe refused and returned to the precinct. As Joe offers Sunshine an early parole, Rag Doll jumped out of a box and attacked them. Joe fired at him but Rag Doll deflected the bullets back to him. Barry arrives and tries to stop but the Speed Force's death caused him to temporary lose his speed which resulted in Joe getting shot. They later returned to S.T.A.R. Labs and argued about Joe's safety. Joe stayed at the lab but was frustrated and went to Joseph Carver. Eventually, Joe tried to threaten Joseph and the plan backfired as Joseph deleted the audio and sent Rag Doll to attack Cecile Horton.[2]
As Joe went to rescue Cecile, he activated a pressure bomb and tried to deactivate it through Nash's instructions. Since the instructions does not apply on the altered bomb, Joe pushed Cecile away and replaced her place. Barry sped Cecile away and returned to Joe who escaped. Joe later admitted he should go into witness protection.[2]
