Joyce isn't fooled by the quick save and is aware that she's been a waitress for perhaps too many years. Max comments that Joyce looks the same, and then clarifies that she means Joyce is "still pretty" after all the years she spent away. She doesn't guilt trip Max for not staying in touch over the years. In the diner, Joyce takes Max's order for breakfast, clearly happy to see her again. Pictures of her family behind the counter, primarily Chloe, give us the impression that she greatly cares about her husband and daughter. Some of the bills also confirm that Joyce changed her surname to Madsen after remarrying.Īt the end of the first episode, she can also be seen in the diner, wiping a counter table during the snow-storm. Max finds overdue bills all over the household, implying that Joyce and David are having great monetary troubles. Max also realizes that Joyce still works in the same diner from years ago, and comments that they had "the best damn hamburgers in Arcadia". Although not met her right away, Max discovers a shrine to her past husband, William in her bedside dresser, revealing that she misses him, but also that David is kind and understanding enough to let her have this tribute to her past lover in their room. Joyce is known as Chloe's mother and is mentioned by Max several times before we meet her. Chloe has also admitted that she also sometimes blames her mother for her father's untimely death.Īfter William's death, Joyce met David Madsen in the Two Whales Diner and married him sometime after, much to the disgust of her daughter who resented him for replacing her father and being too harsh on her. She rang him to ask for a ride after getting groceries, resulting in his car crash. Joyce often blames herself for the death of her husband, because she was the reason behind him leaving the house the day he died. In 2008, her husband William died in a car accident. In 1999, Joyce and William bought to their daughter a cat, named Bongo, who was later killed by a passing car. The couple raised their newborn in Arcadia Bay, where Chloe became best friends with Max Caulfield, practically a second daughter for the Price family. Max notes that she has "a little shrine to William" there, so obviously she misses him and their relationship. Joyce and William both travelled to San Francisco and took a photograph in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, as noted by the photograph of the holiday she keeps in her bedside dresser. In 1993, she became pregnant with their first and only daughter Chloe Price. Obviously it didn't work out that way with Chloe. Maybe she just wanted a more structured life for herself. You can tell she loves him - disturbing as that sounds. I can only imagine how Joyce ended up with David Madsen. I wonder how often Joyce relives that day? That's the worst kind of rewind: one you can't control. I still remember the last time Chloe and I saw him alive. I'm glad she's not pissed at me for being selfish and never looking back. I moved to Seattle so soon after William died that I never saw how it affected Joyce. ![]() Doubt she smiles at her hijinks now, but they still banter like mother and daughter. I remember her always smiling at Chloe, even in mischief. That clinking of silverware and the smell of sizzling bacon rewound me back to being a kid, hanging out there with my parents for breakfast. Especially right back in "ye olde" Two Whales Diner. ![]() Talking to Joyce Price after five years was almost as intense as seeing Chloe again. The following is what Max wrote about Joyce in her journal: She is a loving, worried mother who wishes the best for her daughter. ![]() She is a kind, hardworking and a sassy woman, she takes no nonsense from both Chloe and the squabbling diner patrons she deals with daily. Joyce is a strong mother figure within the game.
