If nothing else, the closing scene with the WLF platoon just underscores that the council made a wise decision in not sending a posse of sixteen to Washington. Ellie might have plot armor, but the rest of them would've faced a death as certain as the hapless Seraphites.
Why isn’t Ellie better at survival planning? She survived months (a year?) with Joel on their own. She should have some idea what to bring with her. I feel like she should be more emotionally immature but competent rather than mad dumbass.
Honestly this episode bored me and did nothing in engaging me and keeping me interested without Pedro. They never identified the group in the opening that ended up being slaughtered. So I guess if you don’t play the game you don’t know. It’s a shame I have to wait for the after episode to get the explanations I needed within the show. This was not it for me especially after losing Pedro to keep me as interested. At this point I’ve invested so much already into the show I do want to see what happens. But I was barely interested thru the entire episode. Especially after they killed off the group with scars in their cheeks (really wanted to know what was behind that) without any real explanation. I definitely agreed with the point of the rag tag group of WLFs behind the tanks didn’t really give me a feeling of foreboding.
