Joel and Ellie achieve one of the biggest goals on their journey, but it opens up a whole can of worms both emotionally and narratively. Here's what happens in The Last of Us episode 6, 'Kin.'
Maria takes Ellie to the movies, where everyone is watching Richard Dreyfuss’ Oscar-winning performance in. Meanwhile, Joel is trying to fix his boots and Tommy enters with a new pair as a sort of olive branch. He apologizes about the things that were said earlier and Joel finally comes clean about everything. Ellie is immune, Tess is dead, and he has to get Ellie to the Fireflies to maybe save the world. He also breaks down because, with Tommy, he can finally be vulnerable.
What we didn’t see as Joel bared his soul to his brother, is that Ellie snuck out of the movie and heard the whole thing. Back at the house, she’s furious because she feels like Joel is giving up on her. “Do you care about me or not?” she yells and Joel says of course. Ellie qualifies that she’s not Sarah and Joel immediately tenses up. “Don’t say another word.” But Ellie can’t help it.
Joel and Ellie set off for the university, a trip Tommy said would be seven days with many, many obstacles in between. Tommy was wrong. The trip takes only five days and along the way, Joel and Ellie are as bonded as they’ve been yet. He teaches her to shoot, tells herthe rules of football. Really, Ellie understanding the rules of American football without seeing it may be one of the most unrealistic things on a show with infected killer zombies.
It’s a powerful, terrifying cliffhanger because what Ellie says might be true. Can she do this without Joel? Will she have to? We’ll have to wait until next week to find out.is so good. Everything in the episode is about survival. It’s about what different people may feel like in these unfathomable circumstances. And yet, there’s not a single infected in the entire thing.
