The musical cues are the best in this episode!! “It can’t last” from TLOU2 in the garden, Vanishing Grace (Childhood) at the last super. Frank made Bill’s fortress a beautiful home all thanks to Frank’s nurturing qualities.

One quote that i thought was very fitting is. Bill knew how to survive, but Frank knew how to live.
So reading & hearing complaints about this episode by 'those' people i find upsetting cause these people are missing the entire point. This was just beautiful storytelling at its finest & if they can't appreciate that, than i don't know what to say.

As a gamer I was looking forward to Bill interacting with Bellas' Ellie. Joel getting caught in his traps. Tha show changing up the high school Bloater scene...etc.
I never wanted a direct copy, but I wonder how non gamers felt this story was relevant to the over all story? Apart from Bill finding someone to live for, and protect, mirroring Joel & Ellie.

Where did they show that he put the med in his drink as well?

at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.

So how many months after they died did they come to their home? I am saying this because the plants inside the house were all green. Was someone watering them LOL.
