Bella trying to speak but not being able to get a word out was such great acting.

[@bardiaaskari7414]

It sounds to me like she's about to break out into a hysterical laugh/chuckle on 2 occasions before she goes in for the hug. It's really fast and subtle

[@caomhan84]

That's the moment that made the deviation from the game worthwhile. I was ready to dislike the change, until she did that. It was great, and realistic. I don't know how many takes that was, but it really did look like she was traumatized and inarticulate.

[@mst3KGf]

She can only manage "He...he..." (obviously trying to tell Joel about the attempted rape) before she just breaks down into inarticulate mumbling. Very realistic given what she's just been through.

[@cfinley81]

Yeah, I think he knew by how she was walking and how disheveled she looked that something bad just happened to her. That's why he didn't call to her. He just went up and grabbed her as gently as he could so he can restrain her, knowing she would freak out.

@@anatheodoro9596 in the game, Ellie says “he tried to…” which we all assumed was that David was trying to kill Ellie but in the show David tried to r@pe Ellie which is obviously much scarier and her jumbled words was such a genuine reactions. And even despite her wearing layers of clothing she was still cold which is another great show of how someone who had just been assaulted will feel cold afterwards.

[@mirabellelanson1744]

This instantly made me cry and I think it's something about the relief of having each other again after such uncertainty. For once when Ellie needed him most, she recieved love and comfort from Joel.. Ellie is tough enough to protect herself but at the end of the day she's literally just a kid. She saved Joel and I think in this episode or last, he realized he really does love her. Top fav ep

[@ykmiguel4029]

literally balled my eyes out bruh

[@pyroAdapt]

Its the relief of knowing she wasn't going to have to be alone. She likely thought Joel was dead. David told her that his men stayed to look for joel to finish him off and the last time she saw joel he couldn't even open his eyes all the way

[@stevesmyth1769]

This show just keeps giving. I do love that bit❤️

[@srilankanguy8737]

For some reason I wasn't really interested in this episode. I was like numb and going through the motions the whole episode, then I just randomly started crying as soon as I heard him say that

[@mst3KGf]

As the show's creators said, Ellie saves herself physically, but Joel saves her emotionally. She's in complete shock, wandering around in a daze, feeling she's lost and alone and then he comes in to show he's okay and, with "baby girl", make it openly clear she's his child. She so badly needs this hug in this moment.

Props to the team for making the previous scene insanely hard to watch. The game was uncomfortable but the show made it so much better that it was so hard to watch. But then the curveball with Joel not showing up until Ellie was outside, this reunion is infinitely better than the game version

[@anatheodoro9596]

It's crazy how they made this scene so uncomfortable for those who never played the game AND for those who did, because 100% of the gamers were expecting Joel to show up, but the scene just kept going on forever. It was horrible to watch. So well done.

​@@misterjeyslik1879 ?

[@myboymassacred]

Big exaggeration with the word ‘infinitely’. Like I could understand you prefer the sadness of the outside scene in the series but I thought the shot of Ellie stabbing David in front of the flames was too long and started to get cheesy, exaggerating the flames in the background. I thought the game version was much more subtle and absolutely prefer the music and voice acting there.

[@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333]

How tf is this better? Imo, it’s the opposite because Ellie just kept going and going, hitting David’s lifeless corpse repeatedly until Joel stopped her. So he knows what she’s done and has a better understanding of what he tried to do to her. I liked the way Ellie screamed in this version, but the game version was better otherwise.

[@jesnawilson2092]

My daddy issues came out heavy in this scene I legit started crying

[@jasonbond5213]

The fact that the last time Joel has said the words "Baby Girl" was 20 years before, when he held his dying daughter for the last time, and he probably never used those words again since that night up until this moment in time when he holds Ellie is so heart wrenching, so sad and yet so beautiful.

the way Pedro is able to be so present and strong when asking ellie to look at him and see that it is him and he is there for her and she is safe again while also being so soft and gentle is *chefs kiss* 🤌 they both deserve awards for their performances. Bella portrayed the still frantic survival instinct to fight for ellie's life and then have it dissolve into disbelief that joel really was there and then just pure relief and gratitude that he fought to get to her. these two characters and actors get me right in the heart 😭

[@ashleysmith1369]

Ellie and Joel both realizing they don't NEED each other, but they WANT each other which to me is more powerful. Clearly Ellie saved herself but in that moment she didn't care that she could save herself, she wanted Joel. Joel also went through being sick/weak and having to rely on Ellie and even though he got better, he still WANTED Ellie. It's when she no longer became cargo but family. When he no longer because a trusted body guard but family.

[@jaylamont2870]

I liked both the game and show version of this, but I do think Pedro’s naturally softer voice lends to the calming feeling you get when he’s talking Ellie down here. It blends better with the more emotional and damaged Joel they’ve shown in the show, which makes him a more complete character all around. He sounds just as terrified as Ellie and sounds almost more like he’s pleading when he says “hey look, it’s me.” It’s all around more vulnerable and heart wrenching. BUT I preferred the games delivery of the “oh baby girl” line.

This scene (in my opinion) is better than the game in the sense that when Joel hugged Ellie, we can see it in his face that he's so happy to that she's alive, but at the same time he's upset that he couldn't protect her and he could've so easily lost her just like he lost Sarah. Then after he hugs her, he takes his own jacket off and wraps her in it to keep her warm and safe. So beautiful and bittersweet💕🥲
