Following his father Teddy's funeral, Joe finds himself tied to a chair and discovers that his daughter's boyfriend Dimitri is actually the son of a Russian mobster who was searching for Teddy.
Joe suffers a great shock after learning that his father was involved in dr*g dealing and stole around $10 million and a stunning Lamborghini from the Russian gangster. Following the shocker, Joe and his two close friends Leon and Benjamin help him get out of the deadly circumstances.
Average Joe season 1 also featured Cynthia McWilliams as Cathy Montgomery (Leon's wife) who is obsessed with crime shows and can be limitless when it comes to becoming rich.
Cathy learns about Teddy's theft and plans to find the money and car with her husband. Throughout the season, Cathy and Leon face deadly situations,
In the final episodes, Cathy and others find the car but are searching for the money. Cathy even starts dr*g dealing with Leon and earns money through it, but in the end, the couple encounters a formidable dealer who shoots Cathy, leaving Leon devastated as he kills an undercover cop.

Average Joe has successfully made it to one of the darkest comedy dramas, featuring family dynamics, the underworld, friendships, and bombshell drama. The series began with Joe being threatened by the Russian mob Nicolai Dzhugashvili's son Dimitri, warning him about returning the money and the car that Teddy Washington has stolen from them.
As seen in Average Joe season 1, Joe gets into an intense fight with the mob's son and his henchmen and eventually kills them all. Following these executions, Leon and Benjamin start helping Joe in hiding the dead bodies, especially Dimitri as this would lead them to great danger.
The three friends are covering up the murders, and Leon's wife Cathy learns about Teddy's theft. Being greedy and desperate to become rich, Cathy gets involved in covering up more murders committed by Joe and his friends to save their families from Nicolai.
Later, they are joined by another investigator who has a personal vendetta against Nicolai and discover the mob's hideout. While they plan to kill Nicolai, Cathy and Leon find dr*gs in Teddy's hideout.
Cathy urges Leon to make money by selling those substances and they both start contacting local dr*g dealers. Each character in Average Joe season 1 finale encounters deadly situations including Leon and his wife.
The couple confronts a ruthless dr*g dealer who eventually shoots Cathy, and Leon ends up killing another dealer who turns out to be an undercover cop. However, the fate of Cathy in Average Joe season 1 was never disclosed, leaving a cliffhanger to set the stage for the upcoming chapter.
So, it remains unclear whether Cathy died in Average Joe season 1 or survived the gunshot.

Average Joe season 1 ended with ten episodes. The conflict becomes deep as Nicolai loses his beloved son and wants to kill each person involved in his elimination.
