- Here we go again. Everyone buckled up and ready for more pain?
- This recap hurts. Not Frank and Bill!
- Oh, no title sequence. Right into it.
- Oh, Joel. Don’t swear. I always hate this.
- GIRAFFE
- Correction. GIRAFFES
- First look at Abby.
- Oooooh! This is the Fireflies that are left after the slaughter.
- Abby’s already set on revenge.
- Who said he’s handsome? Where did Abby get this info?
- I guess from some of the Fireflies who were only wounded and later died.
- Less people here than the amount in the game that were with Abby during …. that scene.
- I’d expect more graves, honestly. I feel like Joel killed more people there.
- If that’s supposed to have been the hub of the Fireflies, then there really weren’t that many.
- Timeskip. Five years later.
- Is Ellie training?
- Ellie is a beast.
- JESSE
- Boom motherfucker. I love Ellie.
- Hmm, so Ellie isn’t really seen as part of the community. Interesting.
- Is Joel getting arthritis? If so, that’s such a great little detail.
- Dina!
- I love this. Dina is learning about electronics.
- Oof. Dina asking the hard questions now.
- Joel needs to talk about it. And Dina is now another surrogate daughter to him.
- I’m honestly so happy about there being a therapist there. You never see people in these kinds of shows getting help that they clearly need. Good man, Joel. Good man.
- Ellie with the scope. Boss move.
- We don’t talk about Bruno.
- Honestly, how has no one else figured out about Ellie’s immunity. She seems more reckless here.
- CHILDREN
- I love seeing more people join the community. I get Joel’s opinion, and I get Maria’s.
- Oh my god. It’s Maria and Tommy’s kid!
- I legit forgot that Maria was pregnant in the first season.
- I’m dying! He pays for therapy with weed!
- Was she married to Eugene?
- Aw, he loves Dina.
- That’s true. Ellie isn’t actually his daughter.
- I love Gail. She is not taking Joel’s crap.
- WAIT
- HE KILLED EUGENE?
- Did Eugene get infected? I need to know more about this.
- SAY IT OUT LOUD JOEL
- God, Pedro Pascal’s acting is so good.
- THAT TEAR
- I love all the music, and the nod to space with that poster.
- First clear view of the chemical burn.
- That chemistry. So cute.
- Dina is trying so hard to fix things between Joel and Ellie.
- SHIMMER. MY BELOVED!
- Damn, that chemistry between Jesse and Dina, though.
- Oh, that’s Cat. Got it.
- Oh, Dina’s not all in on that breakup with Jesse. Different from the game.
- Oh, poor bear. He just wanted a snack.
- Bear-b-que. The puns continue.
- I’m guessing the breakup between Cat and Ellie did not end well.
- The bottle! Haha
- I love this miming.
- The dog as employee of the month hurts.
- Oh damn. Ellie went for a ride.
- Ellie is not a stay put kind of person.
- This supermarket is super creepy.
- Kitty?
- Ellie, don’t shoot the cat.
- OH SHIT
- NOPE
- NOT A CAT
- Well, that’s terrifying.
- I would die so fast. Me: kitty? Reality: stalker.
- Pretty sure it’s been over five minutes, Cat.
- I hate how it looks more humanlike.
- Oh, another bite mark. That makes three now.
- Yeah Tommy? How?
- I like seeing this council actually discuss stalkers.
- Is she cutting out that skin?
- Oh, she’s stitching it up.
- The journal is such a fun thing to see.
- Ellie, let Joel do things.
- DOG
- Good man, Joel.
- Ugh, I hate that interaction. Joel just wants to help, and Ellie is still so hurt.
- Oh, hi there Gail. Just watching with a drink.
- No. No. Ellie, go back to the porch.
- Fire?
- Wait, no. NOT GOOD
- I don’t like this lore about the vines.
- Also, why would Abbys’ crew travel at night? Seems very dangerous.
