I guess many can say, and will say this episode was a filler, but I beg to differ. This was in my opinion a way for the showrunners to tell is that series is not afraid to cut deep.
While this type of slower episode is not expected in an action-horror thriller, the message is written in neon lights: Save who you can save.
Nick Offerman's character has a great development, one that you are not expecting to see. I think this story has a great motif, and it has very great visuals to make its point. Like the story that Joel tells Ellie which is beautifully and shockingly served to the audience to not lose their sight in a quest where the infected are only one of the major dangers in this world, but not the only one.
I think episodes like this is what separates this series from other post-apocalyptic, dystopian zombie stories.
I would lie if I didn't say The Last of Us has trapped me.
