while I didn't full out sob throughout this episode, I welled up SO MUCH and really started upon reflection at the end when forced to think about what happened. it is so heartbreaking that after she said she would stay, that had to happen. I think it puts a lot in perspective when it comes to Ellie as well and why she is the way that she is. like when she mentioned that everyone who she cares about leaves in some way. seeing that play out was so upsetting. this is also the first time that we truly see her relaxed and having fun and I loved seeing that side of her. I'm terrified for what is going to happen to Joel and can't wait for what's next! 🩶
