HBO’s The Last of Us finally introduced a character on Sunday that’s barely mentioned in the original games, but helps us understand how and why Joel is the way he is: Javier Miller, Joel and Tommy’s father. Played by Tony Dalton (Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again, Better Call Saul), Javier is tough on his sons and a cop who tries his best to keep them out of trouble. There’s a link, though, in how Javier raised his sons and Joel’s temperament when coming to raising Ellie and keeping her safe for the past five years.

In a flashback sequence, we see Joel attempting to take the blame for Tommy trying to buy drugs and getting into a brawl with the dealer. Expecting a beating, the young Joel (Andrew Diaz) is offered a beer by his dad instead.

“What Joel has done now is different,” Druckmann explained to

. “He used violence to protect his tribe, to protect Tommy, and now it’s almost like there’s something for them to relate to, and they connect on this level. What the dad ultimately says is, ‘I think I’ve done the right things, but I’m not entirely sure. I just know that I did things better than my dad, who beat me even worse.’ His insecurity about that stays with Joel as well. Joel’s doing the best he can with the tools that are in front of him, but he loves Ellie unconditionally.”

Druckmann added that there was another layer to the scene and something he wanted for Joel. “As we kept working on that scene, it became about something else, which is not only generational trauma, but generational repair and hope.”

The rest of the episode is a series of flashbacks that eventually end in the present day with Ellie in Seattle. It covered Ellie’s 16th birthday with the museum–a famous scene in the game–but also her 17th (the origins of her tattoo), and the moments leading up to discovering that Joel had lied to her about there being dozens of immune people in the world. The latter deviated from the original game’s narrative, which involved Ellie exploring the hospital where the final scene took place.

As he confesses to Ellie on his porch, she tells him that she doesn’t think she can forgive him for this, but would like to try. There’s a different dichotomy between them in that moment where it’s not just a surrogate father/daughter relationship, but an understanding of the real-world stakes Joel tampered with and the secret they have to share.

The season finale of HBO’s The Last of Us airs Sunday on HBO and Max, 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET.
