When Pip awakens from his illness, he finds Joe at his bedside, showing that despite how he had treated Joe, Joe still considered them to family. His resolute faith in Pip, despite how he was treated speaks volumes about the man. Joe, however is unable to stay in London, due to his animosity towards city life, but before he goes, he pays off all of Pip's debts. Pip doesn't deserve half the kindness he is shown in his life, and it is merely through their continued affection that he finds any kind of redemption at all. He was lucky to have gotten so much, but he threw it all away in pursuit of Estella. It is only now, after the loss of Magwitch, that Pip truly sees what he always has. He decides to follow Joe and make amends with both of them.
