The Last of Us follows Joel and Ellie as they travel across a post-apocalyptic America trying to avoid fungus-infected zombies. Along the way, they are helped by a man named Bill who is the last survivor of a town taken over by the zombies. In the game, Frank mentions he had a partner named Frank.
While in the video game Frank is dead by the time we meet Bill, the series will give us the two men’s backstory in an episode dedicated entirely to them. Bill and Frank have been mentioned offhand a few times over the past two episodes, referred to as collaborators in Joel and Tess’ smuggling ring. If you haven’t played The Last of Us, those names mean nothing to you, but for those who have, Bill, at least, is a beloved character. Bill is gay in the game, but it’s referenced so vaguely that plenty of players missed it.

In the video game “The Last of Us,” the most we see of the character Frank is his dead, decaying body dangling from the ceiling of an abandoned residence. Gruff doomsday prepper Bill is stunned to find his body – they were partners, Bill says. But he quickly cuts Frank’s body down and moves on. When “The Last of Us” was released in 2013, that’s all Bill and Frank were – former “partners” who couldn’t survive the apocalypse together. (Players of the game could find a note Frank left to Bill, stating that he hated Bill’s guts.)
In HBO’s television adaptation of the game, Frank and Bill’s years-long relationship becomes the focus of the series’ third episode, with their apocalyptic love story depicted in a way that is unique in video..
