The Last of Us 206 "The Price" Synopsis
Episode Written By: Craig Mazin, Neil Druckman and Halley Gross
Episode Directed By: Neil Druckman
Soon after moving in to Jackson, Joel tries to make Ellie’s 15th birthday special as he gives her a hand restored guitar and a vanilla birthday cake for “Eli”. Recovering from attempting to burn the bite mark from her arm Ellie asks Joel to sing to her agreeing that he doesn’t suck.
A year later, while Ellie’s mind is firmly on getting out to patrol around Jackson, Joel insists that she take it slowly, trains with Jesse and learn the ropes as he surprises her with a visit to a museum to fulfil her dream of going to space. But after her amazing birthday Ellie still has something on her mind.
Another year on and Ellie is growing up faster than Joel would like. She’s smoking weed, kissing girls and getting a tattoo to cover her burned arm. But Joel just wanted her to stay the same. He eventually concedes that Ellie needs her own space and arranges for her to move out to the garage.
By the time of her 19th birthday Ellie wants to confront Joel about what really happened at Salt Lake City all those years ago. But when Joel takes her on her first patrol she forgets all about it as her reconnaissance of the woodland finds only a pair of amorous squirrels.
After the uneventful start to the patrol, Joel is sent as emergency backup for Adam and Eugene who have gotten into trouble with some infected. Ellie insists on going with Joel but when they arrive Adam is already dead and Eugene has been bitten.
Eugene just wants to see his wife Gail one last time before he dies. Ellie has Joel promise he’ll keep Eugene alive while she goes to retrieve their horses but despite this, Joel executes the infected man. An upset and betrayed Ellie realises this isn’t the first time Joel has lied to her and tells Gail what Joel really did to her husband before separating herself from him.
Nine months later after Joel tries to defend her at the New Years Eve Dance, Ellie finally confronts Joel and learns all about Salt Lake City and that he did what he did because he loves her. She doesn’t know if she can forgive him but now that she knows the truth she’d like to try. But this is the last conversation the two will have as within twenty-four hours Joel will be dead, murdered at the hands of Abby.
Back in present day Seattle, following her brutal torture of Nora, Ellie returns to the Theatre where Jessie and Dina are waiting for her.
We'll be be back next week with The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 7 the final episode of the season.
