In this episode, while exploring the mall, Riley and Ellie come across a bunch of arcade cabinets, and they instantly start dueling against each other in a Mortal Kombat cabinet. This is not a completely original thing. In fact, it’s a reference to the game.
In the game, these two friends actually do not play Mortal Kombat II but a game highly referencing it named The Turning.
Etta James “I got you, babe”
Around the endpoint of this episode, Ellie and Riley play the song ‘I Got You, Babe,’ by Etta James. What people might not have noticed is the fact that this scene was foreshadowed at the very beginning of this episode.

In the game Dawn of the Wolf is a big deal. Joel even tells Ellie that he watched this movie once. In fact, his daughter was such a fan of this movie they had this poster in their home too. This poster was spotted in this episode, but no one really talks about it.
Captain Kwong and his love for Naughty Dogs
Naughty Dogs are the developers of these games, and everyone knows it by now. What they might not know is that their logo consists of a paw. That paw can be spotted on Captain Kwong’s keychain. We wonder if he used to play Uncharted games before the apocalypse hit.
