![]() While there was a brief moment of thinking it would be Bethany back for revenge, it turns out to be her missing friend/roommate Riley (Storm Reid). As Ellie sleeps someone breaks into the room through a window. There is a knock on the door and Ellie is told it’s lights out time, she eventually complies. This is just one of the many times Bella Ramsey’s performance just completely nails what the core of Ellie’s character is supposed to be. Ellie is a really nuanced character, and these moments of just her being a kid and trying to understand what is going on with the world AND trying to be an actual kid are excellent moments of writing. We’ve come to know Ellie as a ‘take-no-prisoners’ and ‘say-it-like-it-is’ type of person, but that’s one of the great things about the writing in the game. One of my favorite things about this episode is the small moments of realness we get from Ellie. And obviously, her disappearance is taking quite a toll on Ellie. This is the bed of the person Bethany was referring to earlier. What we also see, is the second bed in the room is gone. The Captain is happy with this answer and gives Ellie back her Walkman before she leaves the office.īack in Ellie’s dorm-like room, we see the walls covered with various posters, the most prominent being a Mortal Kombat 2 poster. Ellie eventually relents and says she wants to work towards becoming a leader. Kwong says, whereas being a leader is much more rewarding, you will be warm in the winter, and cool in the summer. Kwong tells Ellie she really needs to turn her life around and gives her two choices she can either work towards being a grunt or work towards being a leader. On top of this wonderful news about Bethany, Cpt. Ellie seems pretty proud of herself, and we’re all proud of her honestly. Kwong tells Ellie that Bethany was sent to the infirmary to get 15 stitches. ![]() She’s actually been sent to “the hole” multiple times recently. Kwong’s (Terry Chen) office, where we find out this is not her first time getting in trouble at school. Tired of Bethany’s crap, Ellie punches her.Įllie gets sent to Cpt. Bethany (Ruby Lybbert) runs up behind Ellie and rips her headset off, and negs Ellie because her tougher friend isn’t here to save her from a fight. ![]() Ellie, and a whole other group of girls, are running circles in the gym for their FEDRA-based school. Seeming like she is going to listen to him, Ellie goes up the stairs and shuts the door to the basement.Īll or None by Pearl Jam floats through our ears as we are brought into a flashback. Ellie, in the most Ellie way, tells Joel to, “shut the f*ck up.” Ah, Ellie, don’t ever change. Joel pleads with Ellie to let him be and to head North to Tommy. The horse stands in the garage, while Ellie gets Joel down to the basement, where he lays on a gross-looking mattress. Picking back up after Joel’s injury from Episode 6, which was altered from the game, we follow a bloody path in the snow to a decrepit house. I think this is narratively one of the strongest episodes, next to Episode 3 “Long, Long Time.” Let’s jump right into Episode 7. Episode 7 “Left Behind” takes us back in time to see how Ellie (Bella Ramsey) found out she is immune and puts the fate of Joel (Pedro Pascal) solely in her hands. ![]() One of my most anticipated shows of this year doesn’t cease to disappoint me whatsoever, which is rare for television. With only a few episodes left for Season 1, The Last of Us has surely strayed the path from the game in a few specific ways I think this has made the season better for it.
