In episode 4 we experience another divergence from the game, but we wouldn’t say its as big as what happened will Bill. Pittsburgh is swapped for Kansas City, but the events are mostly the same, even if the characters and their motivations are not. We’re introduced to Kathleen and Perry (who might sound familiar), as well as the “legend” of Henry. Before all that, thought, Joel and Ellie get some bonding time, even if Joel doesn’t really want it. With this episode, we really start to see how the TV show is shaping these characters.
