Hiding the truth may often be a necessity, especially if it's bitter and when someone is not in a state to know it, but usually, it's the worst thing. In “Average Joe,” Leon does the same thing by hiding everything about his and Cathy's intentions when they enter Teddy's basement. Although Joe deserves to know everything about Ange and Jennie, Leon and Cathy hide the fact that they always knew that Teddy was Eddie Philsky. As a result, Joe grows angry and pins Leon to the ground while Cathy points a gun at him to protect her boyfriend. Touch also joins the fight and forces Cathy to lower her weapon by holding her at gunpoint. Even though Touch breaks up the fight, Joe makes Leon and Cathy leave the premises since he does not trust them anymore.
