Agree, her scream after realising she was bitten was great acting and Riley's almost resignation after showing she was also bitten was so well acted. I love the game and the show so much.

[@DigiMyst]

When Ellie said to Joel it wasn't her first time she killed someone, she wasn't referring to the infected. She waited for Riley to turn and was likely forced to kill her. Tragic.

Why stopped reacting to it my king ?

[@Cadinho93]

Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey hardly had dialogue in this episode, but you felt the tension and panic without words being said in that room. Storm Reid and Bella Ramsey also had amazing chemistry, too. Let's all basically skip school in a post apocalyptic world. I also love how at the end Ellie is nervous, but she's committed to help Joel get better no matter what by sewing his wound because she lost Riley and doesn't want to lose Joel next because he's the second person she loved since Riley. God the storytelling is fantastic.

[@justbeeyourself]

nikki, i actually cried more at your reaction to ellie and riley's kiss than anything else during this reaction. as a pansexual girl with parents who are not very accepting and have a generally "don't ask, don't tell" attitude toward that part of me it just hit me (in a good way) seeing a parent react like that. your girls are lucky and thank you for being so accepting and having such a warm heart (both of you). ❤

[@apollogetically]

agreed! they’re amazing parents i also have parents who aren’t very accepting and not being able to talk to them about the small things like having crushes on other guys in the same way my sister is able to bring her boyfriend over whenever she wants always hurt a lot. seeing how loving she is and just knowing they would love their daughters no matter what is so heartwarming. it makes me so happy to see parents react that way towards lgbt characters

[@oliviermartin7063]

The pain and loss that Ellie felt is more palpable when looking back to other episodes, you can really sense why shes afraid of ending up alone.

[@charlesprovencher6918]

One thing that makes it even worse for Ellie is that Riley and Ellie fell asleep in the mall waiting for the end to come. Which means Ellie most had to kill Riley when she woke up and realized she hadn't turned. Or maybe she just ran away but I doubt it. Also, Bella did an amazing job this episode! To me this was her best performance of the show so far.

[@holysecret2]

Ellie probably referred to her killing Riley back in episode 4 ("this wasn't my first time")

[@sirwalterii_2nd]

The placement of this episode does make sense even with the main game. This DLC episode plays out similarly to the game DLC where you do get Riley and Ellie's backstory while also having time jumps with Ellie searching for supplies to help Joel. That's why the placement for this episode does fit perfectly with the main game and its DLC.

[@shaynamatthias]

joel gripping ellie's hand and ellie squeezing back made me 😭

[@PhoneSax89]

The carousel ride where Eli was staring at Riley was a powerful moment, made so much more profound with the addition of the 'The Cure - Just Like Heaven' playing on the music box slowed down etc

[@joshuawillard9813]

The escalator is the perfect example of Rule #32: You gotta enjoy the little things.

[@Historian2113]

I know the game so I was ready for what was about to happen and it still broke my blackened heart. The acting has been absolutely wonderful throughout the series.

[@toukie]

"It's over." "It will be... but not yet. It ends this way for everyone sooner or later, right? Some of us just get there faster than others. But we don't quit." This destroyed me... so much...

[@miigi-p4939]

What destroyed me even more was seeing joel hold ellies hand He really thinks he will die and that is one of the last things he would do He just embraces her love truthfully

[@eltravos99]

I have never watched a tv show that has consistently made me either cry or tear up almost every episode. I think there might have been one show where I cried once. But this show I've cried probably 4 of the episodes. And I teared up at least a little on the others. Can anyone tell me a show that has ever done that???

[@Antisnot]

love that the show is focusing more on what makes tlou story and dialogue so great instead of 59 minutes running around killing clickers. 10/10 every episode so far

[@MM-hi]

I agree, the emotional action is much more interesting than physical action, it's what makes this story so great, the characters.

[@IH8YH]

yes. even if simply due to the fact that having 5min of story and then 40min of killing clickers works in a game, i would get really boring really fast in a tv series. even at the beginning of the show with the pre-pandemic opening its like they "just" took out all the action passages from the game that were basically THE gameplay and only focused on the story and expand on it all and only have passages that would be actiony- gameplay if it is necessary for the story. LOVE IT

[@mpg3946]

This is possibly the saddest show I've ever seen. Need to be in a great mood before watching it.

[@binder38us]

That is the difference between this show and the Walking Dead.

[@shanegilbert-uk3ls]

[@RandyOrtega1225]

And yet crybabies are still mad she doesn't look like the character BIG DEAL after the 1st episode I was on board with her

[@KCohere33]

They said in the aftershow that this entire mall is a set. They did an incredible job on it. I haven’t played the dlc so I was really looking forward to seeing this. They did a really good job of portraying this sort of young crush/first love type of thing. Bella and Storm did a wonderful job, both really good actresses.

[@Peeplii]

Yeah the Northland Village Mall was basically a ghost mall before hand so 😂 the really didn't have to do much

[@hessu275]

The show can really make actors shine even though they only have one episode role and that definitely happend with Storm

[@rockandrollfantasy86]

I've noticed some of the complains about Bella portraying Ellie tend to be because she doesn't look "conventionally attractive", which is the dumbest reason on Earth, she's an amazing actress.

[@PatricioHondagneuRoig]

Not to mention she's portraying a 14 years old teen. People are fucking perverts.

[@feraldog5590]

I didn't like her as Ellie at all for the first 3 episodes but she grew on me after the rest.

Left Behind is definitely one of the best story DLCs in game that honestly could've been it's own game. Funny enough in a twist of fate? irony? It became it's own TV episode. Another solid episode, another great reaction.

[@amymoquin8636]

For a "zombie show" the acting is top notch. Not just Pedro and Bella but everyone, especially the single episode actors.

[@sorryimananti-romantic7513]

one thing that upsets me after is that ellie had to either kill riley or leave when she found out that riley turned and not her, that must've been so heartbreaking for her. but then again in episode 4 she said this wasn't her first time, so meaning she probably did kill riley. that's just painful. both bella and storm did an amazing job in this episode. the chemistry was there and they put on a good performance this episode.

[@star.surfer9446]

that’s probably why she asked joel if they were still people inside 😭

Between the heartwarming cute moments showcasing Ellie and Riley finally being able to act like kids again for once, if only for a little while...... only to rip it all away again for the seventh time in a row (damn you, show), this never ending River of tragedy that follows Ellie is emblematic of not just the shows central theme but why Ellie continues to fight, to carry on. It showcases her and Riley on opposite sides of an ideological, real and tribalistic conflict before they lay down their arms and come together to just be close for a little while because they're each others purpose in this moment; a fascinating parallel to the Bill and Frank love story and why it matters greatly when Ellie continues to lose and lose. And now that she does have someone who looks after her, who she can depend on, who matters to them, she’ll be damned if she loses them again. For Riley’s sake and everyone else who died, Ellie will finish this journey……even if it kills her.

[@elhamsalehi6294]

As a person who played the game many times (more than five times each part😉) and knowing every little details about the story. It is amazing to see how much they are expanding on each characters. And now after seeing her, loving someone and loosing that person in front of her make it more reliable for those who didn't play the game that why she is so desperate to save Joel and can't loose someone else she loves.

[@tince2987]

An excellent point brought up by Chris Stuckmann was that in a previous episode Ellie said it wasn’t her first time shooting someone. Makes us wonder if the first person she shot was Riley? Also if Ellie shot her before or after she turned. Both equally terrible and dark.

[@mommabard]

I haven't played the game yet. I am loving this series, and I always look for your reactions afterwards too! I am at the point (actually before this point, but I can't help being an optimistic kind of crazy person) that I do NOT trust that any "feel good" stuff I see is not going to end up in ultimate tragedy. At this time in the show, every time I see a High Point, I just assume the more fun/funny/heartwarming it is, the worse the end of the episode is going to be. Still going to watch though, along with you two (perhaps masochistic, but I'm in.)

Y’all are my favorite. Wanted to say that before watching the reaction.

[@gwurockstar]

As a non-game player, thank you for not spoiling anything! The only thing I'm wondering is if the stuff that's been foreshadowed in previous episodes (like the stuff y'all mentioned from Jackson) will happen by the end of this season, or if they're setting it up for future seasons.

Wow I was waiting for you guys to react to who Kwon was being played by. That was Prax from the Expanse. You know Mai's dad who's not that guy.

This show knows how to f*ck with our minds

An alligator that wears a vest = an investigator :))

A Investigator is what you call a Alligator in a Vest, Nikki
