what happens

After being pursued by Infected, a pregnant Anna places her trust in a lifelong friend. Years later, Ellie is forced to grapple with the emotional toll of her journey, while Joel faces a devastating decision of his own.

how it went

Left to right is this episode — its opening to its closing minutes. This is the one span the comments were always describing.

FUN

how good a time it was

MEANINGFUL

how much it moved you

Read from 29 comments — 18 said when.

The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 18 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Hover the curveDrag across the curve to see what people said at any point.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

what people actually wrote

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
