In the latest instalment, the fans witnessed some grippy action and hand-to-hand combat between the vigilantes and Joel. Moreover, the episode also focuses on Ellie’s first assist to kill Joel, as she saves him from the clutches of the enemy.
Kathleen (played by Melanie Lynskey) makes an appearance in the episode in the form of a ruthless leader of the so-called revolutionary movement in the post-pandemic times.

In the end, the episode ended on a sharp cliffhanger after Joel and Ellie woke up from their sleep, only to find themselves surrounded by two gunmen. Thereby creating enough intrigue for the upcoming episode.
