Episode 3 of The Last of Us explores the sweet, sad love story of Bill and Frank — here is our analysis of the episode’s conclusion and what it implies for the future of the show.

In our review, we stated that Episode 3 “belongs in the same untouchable tier as Ozymandias and Pine Barrens; it is one of the finest television episodes ever produced, and pop culture history will recognize it as such.”

While the previous two episodes mostly depicted the beginnings of Joel and Ellie’s relationship, with Episode 2 leaving them to fend for themselves following Tess’ sacrifice, the third episode focused solely on two other characters: Bill and Frank.

The episode spans fifteen years of Bill and Frank’s relationship. Frank had cancer and spent the majority of his days in pain and trying to perform simple tasks, as intimated by the conclusion. He requests “one final day” from Bill, so they marry, have a delicious lunch, and pass away in each other’s arms.

“This is not the terrible suicide at the play’s conclusion. “I’m elderly, I’m content, and you were my purpose,” adds Bill. “I do not endorse this… I ought to be furious. “However, from an objective standpoint, it is tremendously romantic,” adds Frank.

A few days later, Joel and Ellie travel to Lincoln, where a sense of unease pervades the city. When they enter Bill and Frank’s residence, they discover a message written to “anyone, but most likely Joel.”

Bill informs Joel that he and Frank are deceased and warns him not to enter the bedroom because it will be “quite a sight.” He also tells Joel that he may take as much as he wants so that he can protect Tess, and he reminds him that Tess is the one person worth rescuing.

While Joel charges the pickup truck’s battery, Ellie looks about and conceals a firearm in her bag. After establishing boundaries for Ellie, such as not asking about their pasts and doing as he says, they set out to find Joel’s brother Tommy, who may be able to assist in delivering Ellie to the Fireflies.

In the vehicle, they listen to ‘Long Long Time’ by Linda Ronstadt, the same song with which Bill serenaded Frank earlier in the episode. The episode concludes with the truck heading out into the distance, as the camera pans back through Bill’s open window, like a menu screen from the original game.

Episode 4 of The Last of Us will be released on February 5 in the United States and February 6 in the United Kingdom. You can view the remainder of our coverage here.
