HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ has taken the world by storm and continues to be a rage among viewers. The first two episodes of the series were absolutely perfect and featured amazing storylines. However, the latest episode deviated from Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) plotline and focused on two characters that were equally important to the story. The episode went back in time and introduced us to Bill & Frank, the only two survivors living in the town of Lincoln.

Taking a different route from the game, the series decided to expand the love story of Bill (Nick Offerman) & Frank (Murray Bartlett) and featured tender moments between the two characters that were really different from each other. Bill never really wanted to have someone in his life while Frank was always an enthusiastic person who believed that love can happen anywhere. The entire episode was all about how Frank and Bill lived with each other during such dangerous times and found love in such a hopeless place.

The masterfully crafted episode also gave us an idea of how Joel and Tess knew about Bill & Frank. One day, Frank started to talk to a woman on the radio and called her up for lunch. Tess brought Joel with her and all of them enjoyed the food while Joel proposed that he can help them in their survival. In the final moments of the episode, we saw Bill & Frank getting old and spending some quality time with each other. But everything is going downhill because Frank has been diagnosed with a terminal disease and there’s no cure for it. Frank tells Bill to make his last day memorable by getting married and having an amazing dinner. The final sequence between them featured Bill & Frank walking to their room and closing the door.

Viewers were in awe of how the creators handled the love story between the aforementioned characters and fans got really excited for the upcoming episode when the network released a new promo for the next week’s episode. Let’s take a look at when the next episode will be arriving on HBO and HBO Max.
