“Wonderful” is word that came up a few times to describe this episode. Just so nice to have Joel back if even just for one more story, and to see some of the happier times with Ellie. And it was really great to have all four of us, Lucy, Erik, Ben, and Jason, here to talk it out.

Three incredibly tense, thrilling sequences this ep, in the warehouse with the smart infected, in the park with the Seraphites and their gruesome disemboweling ceremony, and in the hospital basement with Ellie cornering Nora and demanding to know where Abby is. We gotta admit, this episode is pretty much Erik and Jason gushing the whole way through. Enjoy!
