We dive into Episode 6, "The Price," and why it might be the best episode of the season so far. We talk about the emotional weight of the flashbacks, Pedro Pascal’s unforgettable final performance, and whether this version of Ellie can carry the emotional and physical weight of the journey. We break down the timeline inconsistencies, the choice to stack all of Joel’s flashbacks into one episode, and how that changes the show’s pacing and impact. Plus, we get into the symbolism of the moth, museum memories, and our growing skepticism about what’s coming in the finale.
