'The Last of Us' gives Ellie a tragically beautiful gay love story of her own. What an episode. TheLastOfUs
And it’s very clear how Ellie and Riley feel about each other long before they kiss. The whole night feels like a grand romantic evening that Riley has planned, and it all builds to the two dancing — in masks from a Halloween store — to the Etta James version of “I Got You Babe.” Of course they kiss, and Ellie’s smile is bright enough to light up the whole mall even if Riley hadn’t turned the power back on.
One question, though: wouldn’t FEDRA at some point notice that there was this significant drain on the power grid? Or is this a situation like Bill with his local gasworks, where there are certain power stations that are simply going unmonitored, and that still work just fine because no one else is drawing on them?
But Ellie and Riley live in a profoundly imperfect world, and it turns out that all their raucous celebrating has awoken a slumbering infected man in a nearby toy store. The mushroom creature attacks them, and though Ellie manages to fatally stab it in the head, it’s two late: both girls have been cut, and assume they will turn soon. It’s the kind of ecstasy-to-agony twist that could emotionally cripple someone.
And as we realize this, the parallels between Ellie’s past and present situations become clear. Joel believes he’s dying, and wants Ellie to leave him to it; while Riley suggested that perhaps, “We can just be all poetic and shit and lose our minds together.” We do not see what ultimately happened in the mall, but it’s not hard to connect the dots. While in the present, Ellie rejects Joel’s request, grabs a needle and thread, and attempts to sew up his wound.
