Austin, Texas 1983.
Javier Miller (Tony Dalton) confronts his son Joel (Andrew Diaz) about him beating up a dealer while Tommy (David Miranda) was buying pot.
2024.
On Ellie's 15th birthday, Joel gives her a cake and gee-tar.
2025.
Joel takes Ellie to a science museum, where she simulates the launch of Apollo 11 inside a spaceship module.
2026.
Ellie smokes pot with ex-girlfriend Kat who just tattooed her arm.
March 2028.
On her 19th birthday, Ellie goes on her first patrol.
They come across Eugene (Joe Pantoliano), revealing he was bit. With time not on his side, Joel promises he will see Gail in person. But after sending Ellie away to bring the horses, Joel executes him off screen.
Back at Jackson, Joel lies to Gail, saying her husband took his own life.
Ellie spitefully grasses on Joel, leaving Gail heartbroken, partly explaining why Ellie and Joel are estranged in Future Days.
Nine months later.
After Ellie scolds Joel for protecting her from bigot sandwich Seth during the New Year's Eve party, a new scene plays out on his porch.
She gives him one last chance to tell her what really happened with the Fireflies.
And he does, acknowledging there weren't any other immune people, no raiders, and she was the key to developing a cure (even though procedure would've killed her).
He also admits to murdering Marlene.
In the game, sequence happened right at the end.
Err, logic please?
Three months later in Seattle, Ellie approaches the theatre to rendezvous with Dina and Jesse.
The Last of Joel
Pescal kills every scene, but Ramsey butchers most of them.
To be fair, emotional outburst does deserve some credit in penultimate scene.
Highlights from the game are admirably recreated and I suppose brand new material worked.
Ignoring 'dicks and vaginas', Ramsey observes something rather bizarre in the woods.
"There's a little squirrel fucking a big squirrel."
I'm sure that will 'increase' Ramsey's popularity no end.
