Anyone else think Joe didn't deserve Sugar? I know he has a change of heart by the end but I always thought what he did was kind of unforgivable- lying to her/ forcing his friend to play along? It was also kind of obvious that Jerry had feelings for her too (or just an attraction) and Joe gave him a big speech about sticking to the plan, only to go after her himself.
By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes. -

Joe seemed to be more of a opportunist, and he knew how to manipulate Jerry, who was a kind man. He did not like the fact that Sugar was more interested on Daphne that him.
When they decided to masquerade as Women, Jerry decided his name would be "Daphne" and one could tell this was a way to rebel against Joe.
As for the relationship between Joe and Sugar, she had made it clear from the start what kind of Men she was drawn to, so no surprise there at the end when Joe opended up to her, she took him for who he was, she was no stranger to these kind of relationships.
Jerry, kept looking & to be always searching, and perhaps hewithout even thinking about it, found what life always eluded him throughout his life, a life worth living with someone who would love him and take care of him, just as it seems he had feelings for Osgood.
Just my opinion.
