Is this the best episode of the entire series? Wade (aka ProfNoctis) and Evan break down everything from The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 6 — an emotional, beautifully written journey through Joel and Ellie's shared memories. From the astronaut scene to the slow-burning truth behind their fallout, this episode delivers some of the most poignant moments in the show’s history.

We explore:

The emotional payoff and story structure

Joel’s flashbacks and what they reveal about legacy, love, and loss

The evolution of Ellie’s character and Bella Ramsey’s performance

Themes of generational growth, reconciliation, and the power of presence

How Future Days reframes the entire season

Directed by Neil Druckmann himself, this might just be the high point of the series.
