Ready, Seth, go.
Now it is just Bella Ramsey’s Ellie facing this world alone.
Except, she isn’t alone.
Ellie is grieving Joel’s death, but this is a shared grief.
It was a little slow in parts, if I am honest.
The gun, she believes, will help her do this.
Her pain is very,veryreal, no matter what she tries to tell others.
She wipes her tears away though, as soon as she hears Dina enter Joel’s house.
She isn’t letting anyone see her like that.
Meanwhile, another Jackson resident highlights it was not just Joel who died that day.
While only Joel died at the hands of Abby, she lost a sister during the attack on Jackson.
Ellie prepared a passionate speech, stating it is not about revenge but about justice for Jackson.
It isn’t about her, it is “about us” she says to the room.
It’s an impactful and daunting tease for the coming episodes.
Meanwhile, other than a brief flash of last week’s episode, Abby is not shown at all.
The only familiar face from the WLF we see this time around is Manny.
A few other points I would like to highlight from this episode.
This is exactly what Abby did with Joel following his massacre of the Fireflies in Salt Lake City.
In the show, so far at least, Ellie and Dina are not a couple.
Dina seems to be toying with Ellie a bit more than she did in the game.
She says she isn’t gay to Ellie, but still flirts with her.
Last up, towards the start of the episode, we saw Tommy working to rebuild Jackson.
I feel this could be a bit of foreshadowing for later in the series.
We still havefour more episodes left of The Last of Us season two.
What did you think of the third episode?
