Joel urges Ellie to abandon him for Tommy. She runs upstairs and hesitates entering kitchen as scene cuts.
Some time before Episode 1, Ellie is training at a FEDRA military boarding school.
During the night, Riley (Storm Reid) sneaks into her room and reveals she's joined the Fireflies.
Riley takes Ellie to an abandoned mall and promises bestie the time of her life.
After jumping to the present for the final time, Ellie uses a needle and thread to stitch up Joel's wound.
Five wonders
Adapting DLC was only necessary because of how Kin ended.
Production team decorated the former Northland Village Mall with numerous props and touched shit up with visual FX.
Chemistry between Ramsey and Reid (sporting a terrible wig) impresses, but relationship was 'sweeter' in the game.
As a reminder, Yaani King (in her only video game appearance) provided voice and motion capture for Ellie's crush.
Both narratives were handled clumsily, and it would have been more engaging to include Ellie searching for meds on her own.
I didn't expect much action, but stupidly thought we'd finally get some visceral gore.
But no, they pussy out AGAIN, as Ellie stabbing an Infected in the head is tame compared to her graphically slitting a Runner's throat.
