episode 6 of The Last of Us begins three months after the tragedy of Henry and Sam. An old man returns to his isolated hut with a freshly slaughtered rabbit. When he walks in, he knows something is wrong. Your wife is sitting there. Joel quickly makes her presence known. Ellie is upstairs.
Joel is looking for Tommy. The man had never heard the name Tommy before. He has never heard of fireflies either. After Joel calls for help with a map, the man warns him never to go beyond the river. “What’s beyond the river?” Ellie asks. Her wife replies: “Death”.
Joel and Ellie continue anyway. There’s an outgoing moment where Joel has to stop and hold his chest. Ellie worries about him, but Joel says he’s fine. They continue their journey west and camp for the night before crossing the river.
Ellie asks Joel what he would like to do if a vaccine were developed. He says he would like to have a ranch and raise sheep. As for Ellie, she wants to be an astronaut Sally’s run. “It will work, right? The vaccine? Ellie asks. Joel replies, “It’s a little late to start wondering.” He finally confesses that he tried to save Sam. Joel admits that a vaccine is more complicated than just using his blood.
Joel and Tommy meet again
When Joel and Ellie leave the next morning, they are surrounded by people on horses. They have a dog that attacks if anyone gets infected. They are taken to a gated community called Jackson. Joel is finally reunited with his brother, Tommy.
After all these years, the brothers are finally back together. Their meeting gets off to an awkward start when Tommy reveals that he is now with Maria. Joel and Tommy talk to themselves while Ellie cleans up. Tommy asks about Tess and Joel’s lies. Joel does not initially reveal the truth about Ellie.
Joel says Tommy is coming for his trip to the fireflies, but Tommy wants to stay. Maria is pregnant and he wants to be careful. The prospect of Tommy becoming a father is a bit bittersweet for Joel. As he leaves, he sees a girl who looks like Sarah from behind. After all these years, the pain of losing her can still take your breath away.
Ellie thanks Maria for the diva’s glass, which she calls “the strangest gift”. Maria also gave Ellie some new clothes, including a new jacket for the winter. She also cuts Ellie’s hair. During the haircut, Maria reveals that she used to be a lawyer. Ellie mentions the monument she saw and offers her condolences to Maria.
Maria notices that Sarah was actually Joel’s daughter. Ellie had no idea. María takes the opportunity to clarify that she doesn’t trust Joel. “Be careful who you put your trust in,” she says.
Later, Tommy apologizes to Joel for their previous conversation. Joel decides to tell Tommy that Ellie is immune. Tommy makes Joel explain everything. Joel reveals how Tess died, how Ellie saved him, and what happened to Henry and Sam. Joel finally relents and admits he’s so “scared” that dog would kill Ellie if he smelled the infection on her.
“I’m not who I used to be,” says Joel. He confesses that fear comes out of nowhere and his heart seems to stop. He has dreams every night that he repeatedly fails. “All I did was let her down,” he says of Ellie. Joel thinks he’s going to kill Ellie. That’s why he wants Tommy to take her to the Fireflies. He makes Tommy swear not to tell anyone, not even Ellie.
Joel goes looking for Ellie and she’s already mad at him. She overheard him talking to Tommy. “Do you give a fuck or not?” she asks him and he says, “Of course I do.”
Ellie continues: “I’m not her, you know. Maria told me about Sarah. Joel tells her not to say another word. I’m sorry about your daughter, Joel. But I’ve also lost people,” he says. Joel thinks Ellie has no idea what a loss is.
“All my loved ones have died or left me. Everyone fucks but you,” she admits. Ellie says she’ll be more scared without him. That doesn’t change Joel’s mind. “You’re right. You’re not my daughter. And I’m certainly not your father. Now, in the morning, we part ways,” he says before leaving.
Joel is stabbed after being ambushed
The next morning, Ellie goes with Tommy to the stables. When they reach them, Joel is already there. “You deserve a choice. I still think you’d be better off with Tommy,” Joel says. Ellie doesn’t hesitate. Her choice is Joel.
Joel and Tommy embrace before saying goodbye. “There is a place for you here. You two,” Tommy tells them. Over the course of 5 days on horseback, Joel teaches Ellie a lot. Eventually they arrive at Eastern Colorado University, where the fireflies are supposed to be. They see monkeys running and a firefly symbol, but no fireflies.
When they enter one of the buildings, it is completely empty. They only find monkeys upstairs. They come across a map that looks like the fireflies have gone to Salt Lake City.
Ellie and Joel hear some intruders outside and realize they must leave immediately. As they leave, a man attacks Joel. Joel manages to kill the boy, but soon discovers that he has been stabbed. They manage to escape before the raiders can capture them. Outside the city, a pale Joel falls off his horse. Ellie runs alongside him. Joel doesn’t wake up. “I can’t do it without you,” Ellie says as she begs Joel to get up. Joel doesn’t answer Ellie’s pleas.
