No matter how many times you see it, you never get used to it. This is such a heartbreaking story that was switched up a bit and made it even SADDER so it hit that much more. There is a lot to unpack here and quite a few parallels for Ellie and Joel but I DON'T WANNA SPOIL TOO MUCH... Just.... prepare... and have your tissues.
Thank you so much everyone, I hope you enjoy 🥰

Vicky: "This isn't much of a tearjerker, so far." Vicky's mascara: "Girl, I'm about to be on your chin."

[@Vhlathanosh]

When she said "I'm so glad I have these" I LOLed cause I knew that ending was going to break her. 😂

[@kevinpetsky49]

Tear Ducts: "And I took that personally"

[@blinkachu5275]

"how are Ellie and Joel not broken because of this" But they are Ellie's deadpan "which way is west" and "you coming?" shows she's internalized her pain and refuses to let it out. She's becoming more and more like the way Joel was at the very start of their journey together. Cold, distant. And that'll only get worse. Joel on the other hand is the opposite, he's slowly becoming more and more open, more capable of love. It's why, despite him still having his walls quite high, he took the time to dig the graves and stands there for a moment, his face with an expression of sorrow. Compare that to how Tess died. Joel just walking off while Ellie stood still, wiping her tears, in episode 2. It's written very well

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

"And that'll only get worse." Right until fulfilling her worst fear. Losing everything and ending up alone.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Mmhmm. I think episode 3 showed Joel in this way. He wanted to get away from Ellie when he read that letter from Bill, he wanted space.. because he felt responsible. This time it's opposite. Ellie feels almost responsible for Sam, and wants space, wants to even be away from Joel for a bit. This world has beat them down, and made them pretty broken.. but they still can only move on..

[@USMCSniperWolf]

You asked how Joel and Ellie aren't broken by that, but they are. Even with everything they've been through, they're still broken by loss, even involving people they met just a day ago. Joel stands there looking over Henry and Sam's graves as Ellie walks on because he's reminded of Sarah, of Ellie, and how that is going to be them. He knows it's going to happen at some point and the realization of that numbs him. Ellie on the other hand, you can tell she's being broken by it because of how she acts. She writes "I'm sorry" and places it over Sam's grave then just wants to get the hell out of there. She even commands Joel, and Joel doesn't even flinch because he knows what Ellie's going through which just makes this even more heartbreaking.

[@cavemandelta]

I'm glad someone else picked up on this. It's as if their characters have switched. Her walls are coming up, and his are coming down. She's pretty much done with all this, and just wants to be done. It's not "exciting" anymore.

[@rjeizzay9619]

Endure and survive, we are the last of us

[@alan-daniel]

also worth remembering that it's a total mirror to the end of the Tess episode's shot, with Joel somewhat coldly walking on and Ellie standing there. Blows my mind how well they're showing the progression of these characters, honestly even surpassing the game.

[@desertfox2000]

It's showing how hardened and alike they both are and when they crack later in the show it will be even more powerful.

[@JLamstudio]

It’s very interesting. On the show’s official podcast, the creators were talking about how Joel buried Henry & Sam mostly for Ellie. That he didn’t really care about burials. But he did it because he cared about Ellie, that she’s no longer just cargo.

[@Saphthings]

There's something unsettling in realizing that Sam was just sitting there because he's deaf. An infected listens for their prey. Even if he ever went to go full on clicker he couldn't. Ellie broke her promise and fell asleep, so he was just sitting there. Waiting, screaming from the inside. As his brain was slowly eaten away. And until someone touched him, or came in his view, he would sit there forever. And when Ellie touched him, Sam saw his own body attack her. Instead of becoming the superhero he always wanted to be. He became a monster, crying for his brother to help. He didn't even hear the shot. Just his vision slowly fading to black. He spent all night trying not to fall asleep. Then suddenly his eyes were slowly closing, afraid of what would happen once he woke up, but he never did. Bill and Frank's story was sad, in a stoic kind of way, but just like Bill said at the end, it wasn't tragic. They'd lived a full life. Here Sam and Henry had hope, a chance, and a whole life ahead of them. Henry was so good that he protected Ellie before even realizing what he was doing. It was instinctual. That comes from deep inside. His first kill. But a little like Kathleen said, this kind of goodness, makes it hard to live in such a tragic world.

[@mrdavman13]

Beautifully written

[@Phelddagrif1998]

This is the best comment by far on every single reaction video to episode 4. I have watched maybe 15 different videos on this episode and this comment is legitimately heart breaking but brutally true. This This This THIS THIS!!!!

[@Saphthings]

@@Phelddagrif1998 Sorry if I paste it too often. I just watch lots of reactions and figure it's not like I'm gonna type something different each time : ) I'm glad you follow my train of thought, like you, after watching so many reactions, certain things click. I think we felt the feeling of what I wrote. That feeling right before Henry is shot was in our guts. And this is the genius of the director of this series, I've come to realize later that it's shot, scored, and lit in a way that we go through the same thing Henry does. Everything happens so fast, so aggressively, that we "feel" it before we can name it or organize our thoughts. So that by the funeral part we're numb, just like Ellie. Then when we sort out our feeling of why we felt the we felt, or see it written, there's a moment of clarity. We understand the layers of Ellie betraying her promise. While Sam is sitting there everything is fine in the world. We don't know yet whether he's cured. He's sitting and not attacking. So maybe... we can just not approach him. While we don't move, there's no pain. Every step Ellie takes is a step that makes it that fantasy fade away, she might have broken her promise, he might have turned into his worst nightmare. Should we take another step? But we have to. What if everythings fine. If everythings fine we (Ellie) didn't betray him, we saved him. It's like that feeling when you overslept, or your alarm didn't go off, and your stomach drops while you frantically grab your phone to see what time it is. Where you promise the world to whatever we have to that if just this time, if this once, we're fine, we'd do anything. And then you look at the time, and you're not late for work, or school, or whatever it was. You sink back in bed with the most wonderful feeling of relief. Or you're late. Oh god you're going to have to call your work, to call your school, to lie or to be honest, and it's so much you freeze for a little... wishing things were different. That brief moment, where both realities exist, and you're grabbing your phone or however you tell the time, your heart feels like it stops. Time stops. They managed to materialize that same feeling into one scene. It's so many thoughts and feelings at the same time that all we feel is white noise. And then suddenly bam, he's dead, before we even thought a single clear thought. The scene is constructed beautifully to highlight that the things we find the most beautiful in the world, flowers, snowflakes, a child in his superhero mask. Are also often the most fragile.

[@nezfromhki]

Neil Druckmann's explantion for the Bloaters was that basically for most people the Cordyceps eventually makes them go somewhere and die to spread the fungus (in the game with spores, in the show with the tendrils/roots underground.) But Bloaters are people who were so physically strong before getting infected that instead of killing them, the Cordyceps just keeps growing and taking over their body more and more until they become completely covered in it, essentially forming a protective shell.

[@michaelspencer4152]

We are watching Elle in real time, turn into the bitter, violent and untrusting person Joel has become.

[@Martyntd5]

I dont agree. At the end, Ellie moves off first ...she wants to get to the fireflies so they can make the cure and no more people like Sam have to die. That's the fuel for her stoicism. It's not hardness, it's compassion.

[@82Jaster]

@@Martyntd5 There's definitely compassion there because she does want to help. But her not allowing herself to grieve is hardening her in a way that she probably doesn't even realize. We've seen how she wants to put on a brave face in front of Joel. That was really first shown in Episode 4 when she starts crying as Joel kills Bryan, but then immediately wipes away her tears when she hears his voice, and is quick to tell him that she's good. The cost of that brave face is that she's bottling up some really raw emotions.

[@CrazeeAdam]

I love how people when part 2 came out were like "Ellie wouldn't do what she's doing, she's not that person". Yeah, people change, she became the man who raised her the most, who taught her the most. She's an impressionable young teenager, and Joel has saved her life many times, she's learned from him already in this show how to survive, pushing away emotions and keeping on going forward, to let it all out in moments of rage and violence. Made sense in the game and in the show...and unfortunately for Ellie, it's not going to get any easier this season.

[@Martyntd5]

@@CrazeeAdam ///"Ellie wouldn't do what she's doing, she's not that person"/// I think it was more 'not that stupid'. All of their actions were stupid. Abby's action was stupid. Abby's friends were stupid to go along with it. Joel and Tommy were stupid. Ellie and Dina were stupid and then later, Ellie was even more stupid. Why did they suddenly all get stupid? It's like in this episode. Kathleen, Jerry and the others didn't make sense, it's one thing wanting revenge, but why were they all so stupid?

[@LockeNarshe]

@@Martyntd5 I feel like you missed the entire point of TLOU2 and watched a KZbinr complain about it instead... because you are way off-base for someone who supposedly knows what's going on in the story.

[@desertfox2000]

Henry doing anything to save Sam and Kathleen blinded by vengeance is going to be recurring themes in this show.

[@Martyntd5]

The one criticism (or the main one) I have of this show ...and the games ...is that the revenge themes are nonsensical. Nobody would follow Kathleen, she's a lousy leader with lousy motivation ...it's really not realistic. She's not badass, she's just unhinged. It would have been more believable if Jerry had put a bullet in the bitter old bag and taken over as leader.

[@orbislame]

Well, I mean, not for them. But yeah.

[@lisaleyendekker8305]

Bloaters are just a later stage of infection. as time goes on, the cordyceps grows thicker on the body, giving the infected a more bloated appearance while also acting like a shell of thick armor. also RIP Perry/Tommy. Kathleen wasn't worth protecting to get beheaded by a bloater.

[@HURRIC4NEyt]

Love how kathleen was going on about how children die every day and that its okay if sam dies and all of that, and just a few minutes later, she is legit torn apart by a KID clicker

[@R0NINnoodles]

Perry who you said sounds like Tommy is Tommy. He's the actor who lent his voice to Tommy in the game.

I forgot they're called Bloaters. I've always called them "Big Papa" 😅 "Oh damn watch out for that Big Papa" 🤣

Since I watched this last Friday all I can think about is how scared Sam must've been sitting there all night looking out the window. If I ever act, that will be my motivation to cry on demand.

the bloater is just a stage of the cordyceps infection... which is basically someone who has been infected for very long time (about 20 years)

[@anieeina]

Fun how kathleen said kids die all the time and then she got killed by a kid.

[@wiseoldman53]

Has anyone else picked up on the eerie and heartbreaking foreshadowing early on in the episode when Dr. Edelstein says to Henry "The tunnels? Why go to the trouble. You can kill yourself right here." when Henry mentioned about escaping through the tunnels (because of the infected known to be underground)? It made it that much more tragic when Henry takes his own life after he shoots Sam. Loved your reaction, Vicky!

[@WebsterA]

Great edit job. It flowed nicely. You're interjections were quick and pertinent. I can tell you (or someone) put more than a few hours into this. I just wanted to point out how good-a-job this is. ✅️

[@WannabeGamerD]

I was so mad that that they made it even more painful than in the game (imo). I was like "Who thought this was okay?" cause man, I was ugly ugly crying

[@ofthenearfuture]

That character Perry who sounded like Tommy... is Jeffrey Pierce who voiced Tommy in the game!

[@BrikMason]

Yeah this broke me too. I played this game in every version so I seen this play out at least five times, and it still hit hard. Even more so with Sam being deaf because I work with disabled kids in my job including deaf students and seeing how hard they work every day, it comes no surprise how much he had put in to survive. So this grown 45 year old dude shed some tears and not shamed to admit it.

The old man that was qith H and S was shot in ep 4 (you know, the doctor). Plus, kathleen calls him Anthony over the radio, so not just a random sniper but rather, a lookout.

Bloaters are just regular infected but they've been infected for a long time to the point where the cordyceps basically become armor around their body

[@bubbaskellington9577]

One thing I just realized is that, in the shows version of Henry, he isn’t violent and has never killed anyone, so his first kill is is brother then himself, makes it so much harder if a situation for Henry

Joel getting softer and more emotional, Ellie hiding her emotions even moreso...both are at different stages of broken.

[@JMaxfield09]

21:10 Bloaters are a stage of infection YEARS in the making, long after clicker stage. According to what Henry said earlier during escape planning, this one in particular had between 3 to 15 years to practically make himself the underground Mayor of "Killer City," with over a hundred minions to boot.

[@tarrinpun3798]

[@DeathBeforeComicSans]

As a disabled person, I’m always happy to see representation in media. But the reaction of us being too pure for this world is a common misplacement of empathy. We’re just people-even as kids. 💜

[@hodlsats]

wdym?

[@DeathBeforeComicSans]

@@hodlsats It’s a really common reaction to disabled kids-a kind of pity mixed with the sense that they’re more innocent and sweet than other children. Although it usually has good intentions and kind-hearted people behind it, that perception is inaccurate and doesn’t make room for us to be understood as full, complex human beings-even as children. One thing I like about this show is that it hasn’t treated disability as some sort of advantage. And it illustrates accommodation (in this case sign language) as something good for everyone.

[@denace2society591]

I loved the depth they gave Henry and Sam. They were only going to be around for one episode, so they played the hell out of them. And all the infected and the bloater. This is my favourite episode so far.

[@MeesdeFilmliefhebber]

My reaction was some of the deepest emotional pain I've felt when watching something fictional in three years. The last time I hit that rock bottom, was when I was playing Part II and Abby showed up in the theater and did... some terrible things. I always felt that Sam and Henry's death was just somewhat more powerful than Sarah's, and to see it in live-action still hurts like a son of a b*ch. To kill your own little brother like that, who is 8 years old, who you swore to protect with everything, and that being your FIRST KILL. That is so unbelievably messed up, as beautifully executed as it was. This episode was masterful.

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

And on top of that, he must have realized that giving up Michael didn't matter in the end after all, that Kathleen was right, kids die.

[@Pandaemoni]

27:20 "[W]ould you do whatever you can to try to save their life?" It's almost like the game and the show have a recirring theme that will keep coming up over and over again. "...I was happy when everyone died. But I was wrong. Because there was one person worth saving. That's what I did: I saved him. And I protected him. That's why men like you and me are here: We have a job to do."

I love how Joel can one shot clickers from like 150 yards, but couldn't head shot the two clickers in episode 2 after 10 or so shots at point blank range.

[@mrdavman13]

FYI all of those infected in the underground tunnels were clickers. They were forced underground 15 years ago, and then pushed further into remote tunnels by FEDRA at least three years ago if Henry had good info which it seems his info was partially correct (or the FEDRA people were only half right, or only half truthful). But even the newest infected would be over three years old, more than enough time to turn into a clicker. That’s why the bloater was able to develop also, in a tight enclosed space, over long periods of time.

[@Maldraek]

Knew it was coming. Still crushed me.

[@corynydam2361]

It’s never explicitly stated how some infected live long enough to become bloaters, but it is just a matter of time and luck. Most die from the cordyceps as clickers, but some survive for enough time that the infection covers their whole body except their mouth.

[@Damian-uv4ls]

You're right when you say that such a small child went through so much, but that also makes the story kind of beautiful. I mean, yes, it ended tragically, but it always ends tragically--the people we love, who love us, always die; zombie apocalypse or not. But the fact that Henry would rather die with his brother than to keep on going on with Joel and Ellie to Wyoming, where he would arguably have a better life than he's ever known, means that he wouldn't trade even the worst day he had with Sam, for a lifetime as a free man living his best life without him--even if it means that the only life he ever gets to experience is one where he goes to bed hungry every night, tries to stay one step ahead of people trying to kill him, and has to sleep at night knowing all the terrible things he's done. I think that's a beautiful, and timely, message, especially for a generation like ours that has a really warped sense of what is "essential" to our survival. There are so many things we never needed before that in the last 5 to 10 years we've convinced ourselves we can't live without, like reliable wifi, social media and amazon. Life can be beautiful, even if all you have is 10 cans of food and a couple pounds of jerky....as long as you have the only thing that's truly essential in life....the people you love.

[@timr6318]

Bloaters are what happens when an infected survive as a clicker for like a decade, the fungus grows all over their body like armor. Also, you said "There's no way there's a clicker right now...", I'm pretty sure they were all or almost all clickers because they'd been forced underground for a long time.

[@Galiant2010]

Hard to tell in the chaos, but yeah, the two going after Henry and Sam under the car were definitely clickers, too.

20:00, Kathleen is the leader because her brother was the leader. When he died she leveraged her proximity to his greatness to gain power and to galvanize the resistance. In ordinary circumstances, nobody in their right mind would follow someone so ordinary and petty.

I don't think it can be said enough: Contortionist Clicker Girl is awesome! I like that they did something to give a little bit of personality to a random infected, but at the same time it made me wonder if there actually is some part of the person left over in the infected. I mean... she was doing little acrobatic tricks. So, either some part of her is in there, or the cordyceps in her brain was like... "Oh cool! Look what I can do with her!"

Ellie is basically coping right now by following what Tess said. "Save who you can save." She couldn't save Sam, but she still might be able to save countless others. All she can focus on is getting to that lab, and figuring out the cure.

So I won't lie to you... when Ellie tried to heal Sam.. a part of me was hoping.. in some small way, that it would work, that the show would change.. and Henry and Sam would come with Joel and Ellie for more of the show.. but I guess it hits harder and affects Ellie and Joel more this way. :(

sam and Henry's destiny is sooo sad that I can't help it.

Every reaction I've seen of this episode they always mention the acrobat clicker.

You’re hearing Tommy because it is Tommy. The same guy plays the voice over in the game.

Biggest, Strongest person is exactly how the Bloaters are created

[@Que684]

Its one thing to face an army of infected but an army of clickers is crazy

My take was Ellie mimicking Joel’s reaction on Tess’ death

[@Radiatron18]

I couldn’t believe the bloater wasent cgi it was a real suit

I haven't played the games, but I had a feeling something like this was bound to happen.

Ellie is absolutely BROKEN by the deaths of Sam and Henry. I. The show she is just masking. She doesn’t want to address her emotions so she just says “let’s go.” But you see her true feelings in her last note to Sam 😢

I like that the changes on this episode still mirror the game. Both the game and the show have Henry make a questionable decision to protect Sam. While in the game the decision was to leave Joel to die so Sam's life wouldn't be at risk, in the show Henry sells Kathleen's brother out to cure Sam's illness. The question is still the same: "If you were in Henry's shoes, would you have done things differently?" The difference is that Joel let's it slide because he recognizes he would have done the same, while Kathleen is out for revenge regardless of what she would've done.

Given that Leukemia can re-occur. Is sacrificing someone for the CHANCE for someone else to live the same thing as sacrificing someone to actually save someone else?

Will you be watching the halo web series Red vs Blue? You’d love it

[@enigmamz]

6:20 "He looks like his older brother" I only know this because I watched YOU play THIS GAME: YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT! BTW, I love you and your work here on YT. I was beyond shocked when it happened in YOUR playthrough. In this, it was very sad, but knowing it was coming took some of the sting out of it. Still, real people playing it out was really something.

The people who were being murdered at the start were FEDRA soldiers. The revolutionaries weren't killing each other.

[@TheJamieRamone]

4:25 - Yeah, it's this little thing called "range". 😉

[@TheLeftistOwl]

Honestly, I think I reacted to the show's version just as viscerally as the first time I played the game. Fuck man
