Joel, Ellie, and Tess continue their journey to the Capitol building and give us our first real look at the aftermath of the outbreak. We also get a treated to some extended lore in the Jakarta opening, explaining how the outbreak spread so fast. We learn about more differences in this version of TLoU, including how the infected can communicate with each other and work together. The differences between the characters and their game counterparts are becoming more apparent. However, the Clickers seem to be spot on! We discuss that and WAY more in this episode.
