The latest episode of HBO's post-apocalyptic thriller drama deviated from the game’s narrative to tell a deeper story about the characters, including Gail and Eugene.

Discussing the change in narrative with The Hollywood Reporter, The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann said: "If we spaced out these scenes and planted them throughout the season, I believe they wouldn’t land as powerfully because they’re short moments and work better when they’re next to each other."

Episode 6 introduces new scenes between Joel and Ellie to tell a gentler story than the game — recalling the first season’s famously tender Bill and Frank episode.

Sunday night’s episode of The Last of Us Season 2 hit pause on Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) increasingly dangerous mission to find Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) to help explain how she really got to this point in the first place.

The HBO adaptation's latest installment picks up with Joel and Ellie five years after the events of Season 1 and is based on 2020's "The Last of Us: Part II"

HBO's series adapted a great emotional moment between Joel and Ellie fromThe Last of Us Part II, but it should have left it out completely.
