The post invited a plethora of heartwarming and emotional reactions from fans. They praised both Pascal and Ramsey’s performances in the post-apocalyptic thriller-drama’s latest episode and the episode itself.
“This episode had me crying happy and sad tears,” one fan wrote. “Incredible performance from both of you!!!”
Another fan commented, “this had to be the best episode out of the two seasons so far well done.”
Meanwhile, other fans uploaded GIFs evoking sadness.
Series co-creator Neil Druckmann recently opened up about the episode’s events in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He highlighted the “porch scene,” expressing pride at how the scene “turned out.” Druckmann explained that when working on Episode 6, he had Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker, who played Ellie and Joel, respectively, in the games, on his mind and “wanted to honor” their portrayals of the characters.
Season 2 Episode 6, titled “The Price,” explains how Joel and Ellie arrived at their strained relationship, as depicted in the first episode. The episode also explores the origins of Gail and Joel’s tense relationship — and how and why Joel killed the former’s husband, Eugene.
The Last of Us Season 2 streams on HBO Max.
