“The Last of Us” Bill & Frank Love Twist is a ‘Beard Smash’

Spoiler alert! Warning: spoilers ahead for The Last of Us episode 3, titled “Long Long Time.” Do not proceed if you haven’t watched!

ET reports- The Last of Us introduced another fan-favorite character from the video game series in Sunday’s all-new episode, only for them to meet their end in a tragic way — and surprise fans by veering off course from the game’s canonical story.

In the first Last of Us video game, over the course of their journey, Joel and Ellie meet up with Bill, a survivalist who gives them grief when they ask to borrow his car. They also find a letter from his late partner, Frank, and the implication that the pair were in a relationship prior to Frank’s death by suicide after he was infected.

The Last of Us episode 3, however, expanded Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank’s (Murray Bartlett) story into something of a bottle episode, sharing how the pair met and fell in love before a neurological disease left Frank asking Bill to help end his life. Taking the same lethal dose, the pair passed away together, leaving their car for the taking when Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) return to their compound.
