In 'The Last of Us,' screenwriter Craig Mazin takes a unique approach to mourning, showcasing a three-month time jump after Joel's murder. Unlike traditional narratives where grief is brief, Ellie is ready to move forward and seek revenge. This episode notably lacks major action sequences, focusing instead on character development and emotional depth. While some fans may question the show's future without Joel, the episode effectively highlights Ellie's resilience and sets the stage for continued storytelling centered around her journey.
Mazin jumps the action ahead three months, just as Ellie is getting out of the hospital, and long after she has gotten used to the idea of losing Joel.
Unlike in Season 1, where the calmer scenes of people hanging out and living life were balanced with terrifying monster attacks and shootouts, this week Ellie and the Jacksonians mostly just regroup.
