The Last of Us: Amidst the Much-Awaited Brother’s Reunion, This Emotional ‘Joel-Ellie’ Episode 6 Scene Will Make Fans Cry Once Again

The Last of Us series is winning hearts everywhere; its most recent episode was very faithful to its source material too. Yes, the creators have taken different paths every now and then, but this series always feels like it is based on The Last of Us.

And if the creators aim to follow a similar pattern, then we might end up with a very emotional scene in Episode 6. A scene that would test the acting prowess of both Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.

Get ready to witness yet another heart-breaking moment in The Last of Us series

The Last of Us game was never about a post-apocalyptic world, it was about some people in a post-apocalyptic world. The conflicts never came in that game due to those monsters. Yes, they provided some moments of thrills, but they were never the main focus. Nor was the main character Ellie’s immunity, it was just a narrative device for some time.

People played and loved this game for the relationships it represented. How all the ugliness in the world cannot stop beautiful things from sprouting inside of us.

Joel takes Ellie’s hand and drags her on a cross-country journey to fulfill a promise he made to his partner. Ellie wants this too; she wants a cure more than Joel. She has seen so many deaths due to this disease that she now feels guilty because she is immune.

Every person she knows dies in front of her due to that disease, and that’s why she is guilty. She feels that she owes it to the world to give them a cure.

She got her third shock in the previous episode, which was aptly named “Endure and survive”. Henry refused to endure and never saw a point in survival once his kid brother died. His brother died because he got infected. And both their deaths devastated Ellie a little bit.

The only person that she had during this time was Joel. By this point, they have been through a lot together and she hopes to see the end of it holding his hands. But in the next episode, they would meet Joel’s brother Tommy.

Now the spoilers would follow, please beware if you want to go into the next episode. When they meet Tommy, Joel would ask him to take charge of Ellie as he used to hang with the fireflies and he would have a better idea of where their headquarters can be found.

She does not like this idea and runs away from Tommy’s camp. Joel follows and when he finds her, they have a long emotional conversation.

She reminds him how she never knew a normal life and she wants to see the world get better. Then she tells him that she understands Joel thinks of her as a burden.

The point of it all is, they end up opening up to each other like never before and end up realizing the bond they have.

The way this episode hits its viewers would depend on the writers. There hasn’t been any lack of excellent dialogue in this series as of yet, we know performances would be perfect too. These two leads have already proven their acting skills.
