Why did Joe cut off his toes?

Joe cut off his toes so that he could fake his death and make it seem like Love killed him.

In the final episode of season 3, Joe and Love’s complicated relationship came to a dramatic end as the couple got into the biggest of all fights over Joe’s affair with Marienne.

The brutal showdown saw Joe get temporarily paralysed and ended with Love getting killed as the couple dosed each other with aconite poison from the wolf’s bane plant.

To help cover his tracks, Joe cut off two of the toes on his right foot, hiding one in a pie and another in a keepsake box which he placed beside Love’s body.

The intention behind this gruesome act was to help convince people that Love had brutally killed him so that he could slip away to Paris and track down Marienne whom he’d grown obsessed with throughout season 3.

This isn’t the first time Joe has lost an appendage either. In season 2, when Joe was masquerading as Will Bettelheim, a man named Jasper cut off the tip of one of his fingers as the real Will owed him money. Although on this occasion Joe managed to have his finger reattached.
