The episode, fittingly titled Left Behind, fully confirmed that Bella Ramsey’s Ellie is gay, and that she presumably would have thought it heavenly to devote the rest of her days to smooching and cuddling up with Riley. And one of the set designers explained why this approach, particularly the use of Victoria’s Secret, was so symbolic for Ellie’s story. The production team pulled off a masterful job in showcasing the brightly lit minutiae of consumer life circa 2003, from its fully functioning arcade to the looted Foot Locker. And while making viewers more comfortable with seeing Ellie in a more happy and emotionally vulnerable headspace, the horror drama also brought in one of the game’s most visually diverse locations: an abandoned but powered mall. HBO’s The Last of Us stepped away from adapting the core video game story to bring in the extremely important side character Riley, who was introduced and explored in the Left Behind DLC and tie-in comic book series.
