The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann directed episode six of the series.

He wanted to direct the episode, which he cowrote with showrunner Craig Mazin and Westworld veteran Halley Gross .

" The Price " also brings back Pedro Pascal ’s Joel, who died in episode two of this season.

This season the atrocities become more intense and more violent.

The idea of tribalism and conflict, I don’t see that disappearing. I would love for us to find some utopia where we could all live together.

But the other thing we explore is sometimes that openness leaves you in a weak state.

Episode six shows what happened to Eugene , a fellow survivor whom we've heard Joel killed, although we’ve never met him.

Joe Pantoliano brings him to life, but he says he has nothing to tell Gail O’Hara.

Eugene begs Joel to take him back to the survivor compound because he has an important message for his wife.
