The Last of Us Episode 6 started from flash back with of episode 5, Henry shooting himself after shooting his infected brother Sam, where Joel tries to stop him from doing the act. After that incident, three months passed, and now its winter season everywhere it’s covered by snow. They are in a remote cabin which is surrounded by forest and its covered with snow. We see Marlon reach his cabin by hunting some rabbits, when he enters his cabin he sees his wife Florence who is now hostage by Joel and Ellie. They both point guns at Marlon, so he surrenders with his gun.. It wasn’t that most tense situation. Florence explain that this visitor’s haven’t hurt her at all. She had cooked soup as it was cold outside. The voice of the Florence was so sweet that its feel that she isn’t hostage but she was welcoming visitors. Joel put his gun down and found that they aren’t hurt to them. Joel described the situation as they were passing through and found the cabin. Joel compliments them on finding a great place to hide. “Hide?” Marlon replies. “We came here before you were born. This cordyceps apocalypse hasn’t changed Florence and Marlon’s lifestyle much at all.

They hunt food for themselves,, they live their life in this alone cabin in the the forest. When Joel asked about Fireflies, we came to know that, they’re certainly cut off from the world to the point they’ve never even heard of the Fireflies and Marlon said ‘There are firefly people’ they don’t know anything about them but they do know not to pass the River of Death a border they know by all the dead bodies that line the river. This scared both of them Joel and Ellie. 

As they came out of the cabins with hunted rabbits behind Ellie, Joel had a panic attack which was short time. Now he is fine and continues his journey to the the west. They pass by the River of Death... where Ellie mocks each river. Now they take a a rest at night over the camp fire and Joel was cooking rabbit for dinner. Ellie was looking at the the northern light in the sky from the the top of the stone, its clear she was looking at the northern light for the first time. Joel whistles at Ellie to come down from the top. They both start talking about what they will do in a post cure world . Joel wants a sheep farm and Ellie talks about the moon, her favorite astronaut is Sally. Joel ends the night by by telling her to dream of “sheep ranches on the moon”.
