The Last Of Us Episode 3 Focuses On Frank & Bill
The Last Of Us Season 1 Episode 3 took a different turn than the previous two episodes. More so, the latest episode showcased a beautiful tale of romance found in a seemingly hopeless place. It was an episode that was almost action-free and focused on the sadness and love aspect of a post-apocalyptic world. Although the series is primarily dedicated to Joel, Ellie, and their journey, Episode 3 as reported by Meaww, was all about Frank and Bill.

Their mission is now to get Ellie to a rebel group named Fireflies. Given that Ellie is immune to the zombie fungus, it is important that her immunity to the fungus is replicated to restore the world.
