Though Martin will be back by episode 15, showrunner Todd Helbing promised there would be an in-show reason for Joe’s absence. “The Flash & The Furious,” the mid-season premiere, made good on that: he is off visiting his son Wally in Blue Valley with his daughter Jenna. Jesse L. Martin, who plays Joe, took a medical leave of absence from the series in October due to a back injury he suffered during the show’s summer hiatus.
