Joel and Ellie continue their journey west as they cross into Wyoming, searching for Tommy and the Fireflies. In this episode, we explore their emotional reunion, the thriving community of Jackson, and Joel’s growing fears that he can no longer protect Ellie. As their bond strengthens, difficult choices are made, leading them to a fateful stop at the University of Eastern Colorado.

We break down Joel and Tommy’s tense conversations, Ellie’s growing understanding of Joel’s past, and the deeper themes of family, trust, and vulnerability that shape the episode. Plus, we discuss Jackson’s hopeful vision of the future, Ellie’s aspirations of space travel, and the significance of giving Ellie a choice.

And of course, we cover Joel’s life-or-death confrontation in Colorado, the return of Depeche Mode, and some intriguing nods to The Last of Us Part II.
