    Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey hardly had dialogue in this episode, but you felt the tension and panic without words being said in that room. Storm Reid and Bella Ramsey also had amazing chemistry, too. Let's all basically skip school in a post apocalyptic world.
    I also love how at the end Ellie is nervous, but she's committed to help Joel get better no matter what by sewing his wound because she lost Riley and doesn't want to lose Joel next because he's the second person she loved since Riley. God the storytelling is fantastic.

    One thing that makes it even worse for Ellie is that Riley and Ellie fell asleep in the mall waiting for the end to come. Which means Ellie most had to kill Riley when she woke up and realized she hadn't turned. Or maybe she just ran away but I doubt it.
    Also, Bella did an amazing job this episode! To me this was her best performance of the show so far.

    The placement of this episode does make sense even with the main game. This DLC episode plays out similarly to the game DLC where you do get Riley and Ellie's backstory while also having time jumps with Ellie searching for supplies to help Joel. That's why the placement for this episode does fit perfectly with the main game and its DLC.

      yes. even if simply due to the fact that having 5min of story and then 40min of killing clickers works in a game, i would get really boring really fast in a tv series.
      even at the beginning of the show with the pre-pandemic opening its like they "just" took out all the action passages from the game that were basically THE gameplay and only focused on the story and expand on it all and only have passages that would be actiony- gameplay if it is necessary for the story.

    Between the heartwarming cute moments showcasing Ellie and Riley finally being able to act like kids again for once, if only for a little while...... only to rip it all away again for the seventh time in a row (damn you, show), this never ending River of tragedy that follows Ellie is emblematic of not just the shows central theme but why Ellie continues to fight, to carry on.
    It showcases her and Riley on opposite sides of an ideological, real and tribalistic conflict before they lay down their arms and come together to just be close for a little while because they're each others purpose in this moment; a fascinating parallel to the Bill and Frank love story and why it matters greatly when Ellie continues to lose and lose. And now that she does have someone who looks after her, who she can depend on, who matters to them, she’ll be damned if she loses them again.
    For Riley’s sake and everyone else who died, Ellie will finish this journey……even if it kills her.

      ​​@@Eastra3 But it wasn't supposed to be surprising, in the very first episode, they already mention that Riley is dead, not directly, but they do and the writers made it very clear that the person Ellie was talking about when she said that she had already lost people and that she had already killed someone before meeting Joel was Riley. The purpose of the episode was to develop Ellie's psychological narrative, not to surprise anyone.

    I haven't played the game yet. I am loving this series, and I always look for your reactions afterwards too! I am at the point (actually before this point, but I can't help being an optimistic kind of crazy person) that I do NOT trust that any "feel good" stuff I see is not going to end up in ultimate tragedy. At this time in the show, every time I see a High Point, I just assume the more fun/funny/heartwarming it is, the worse the end of the episode is going to be. Still going to watch though, along with you two (perhaps masochistic, but I'm in.)

And now after seeing her, loving someone and loosing that person in front of her make it more reliable for those who didn't play the game that why she is so desperate to save Joel and can't loose someone else she loves.
