DISCLAIMER I have never played the game so I can't comment on the show's accuracy towards it.
This episode's core is Joel and Ellie's relationship and it's development. We see a more relaxed companionship (and a smiling Joel!). Joel and Ellie's individual character arcs are also developed. They both reveal bits about their past. Ellie's multitude of reactions to shooting at a person are interesting. Joel shows sides of himself that were hidden in previous episodes.
In the midst of developing the relationship and main characters we also get introduced to new people. Kathleen is introduced as a reluctantly ruthless leader of a group who is desperately searching for Henry and Sam. We only see a glimpse of this pair at the end of the episode. However, based on the ending, they will be an integral part of the next episode. Perry is part of Kathleen's group but comes off much more humane than her.
The overall quality is once again high. Best TV ever high. Set design and action sequences stood out.
