I kinda hope he does; the driving force of the first season (and the name of the show, no less) was the Following; random people doing unspeakable things, with Joe pulling the strings from behind bars. With him free, he tends to be more hands-on, taking center stage and limiting the Followers to mere cronies. Joe seems to be at his best when he's whispering into someone's ear; when he does his own dirty work, he's just another serial killer.
