This week’s episode of ‘The Last of Us’ absolutely wrecked us

If “Game of Thrones” gave us the Battle of the Bastards, what shall we call the latest episode of “The Last of Us”? Perhaps, The One Where We All Cried For the Rest of Time.

If “Game of Thrones” gave us the Battle of the Bastards, what shall we call the latest episode of “The Last of Us”? Perhaps, The One Where We All Cried For the Rest of Time. The HBO drama’s recipe for heartbreak: Take safe zone Jackson, add a horde of hundreds of infected rising from the snow and smother it in game-changing tragedy. (Major spoiler ahead.) In the episode, Abby’s (Kaitlyn Dever) search for Joel (Pedro Pascal) came to a climax as she tracked him down by sheer luck and slowly killed him, exactly as she had planned. Here’s how things played out. Abby and her crew finally made it to Jackson and set up camp at a cabin overlooking the town. But come daylight, they realized that the settlement was way more settled and sprawling than they expected. They had no real plan for how to get in or to find Joel. Meanwhile, Abby went out to take watch and spotted two people on horseback, later revealed to be Joel and Dina, who had gone out early on patrol together. To get a closer look, Abby tumbled down the snowy hill and landed in a pit of infected, who at first glance appeared to be frozen underneath the snow.
