This week, Da7e and Neil follow Ellie's descent into Seattle's darkest basements as their coverage of The Last of Us season two continues.

In The Calm [12:58], they discuss the adaptation choice to hold the spores, consider the philosophical value of extreme violence in a post-apocalyptic world, and momentarily get very nervous about the fate of a dog.

In The Storm [59:36], they obsess over what might be hiding out on level B3 of the Lakeview Hospital and look ahead to the flashbacks that could be coming in the next episode.
