Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, co-creators of TheLastOfUs series, discuss the turning point in Joel and Ellie's relationship.
The road leading to the climax of HBO's The Last of Us has been built around the relationship formed by Ellie and Joel . Initially antagonistic, it soon becomes a relationship of convenience, necessity, and eventually, love.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Speaking to The Last of Us Podcast, the show's co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann explained how the penultimate episode of the season was pivotal in demonstrating just how far Joel and Ellie had come - and how far they would go for each other, in the end, if it came down to life and death.
Ultimately, though, Joel's desperation leads him to find answers – he discovers where Ellie is, and finds her at the exact moment she needs him. Haunted and traumatised by her own actions, her surrogate father emerges to comfort her – and at that moment, the pair finally agree on their own terms that they are destined to be bonded for life.
