HBO's The Last Of Us Writers Break Down Bill And Frank's Episode 3 Story

In the latest episode of HBO's The Last of Us, the series took its biggest swing away from existing video game canon yet and, in the process, gave viewers the show's best character development so far. The episode also saw Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Joel (Pedro Pascal) finally hit the road for what is sure to be an interesting road trip.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for the third episode of HBO's The Last of Us. If you haven't watched yet, head over to HBO Max to stream the episode now.

In the episode, we learn more about Bill and Frank, the men that Tess (Anna Torv) advised Joel take Ellie to. What we see, though, is their love story--and it's quite a bit different from the games. In 2013's The Last of Us, we meet Bill and learn about his former partner Frank, a man who took his after being bit when he left Bill. While Frank is never seen in the game (other than as a corpse) he's played by Murray Bartlett (White Lotus) in the series, with Parks and Recreation alum Nick Offerman filling the role of Bill.
