Ellie goes hunting to secure food for her and Joel. While tracking a deer, she meets a preacher, David, and his deputy James. Ellie trades her deer for penicillin to treat Joel's wound, which has become severely infected. David reveals the raider Joel killed was a member of his group. He lets Ellie go, but follows her with his team to seek revenge on Joel. Ellie flees to draw them away, but David captures her and reveals he has turned to cannibalism to feed his group. Meanwhile, Joel awakens and tortures some of David's men to locate Ellie. She kills James, but David hunts her down and tries to rape her. Ellie kills David with a meat cleaver and escapes, traumatized. Joel reunites with Ellie and calls her "baby girl" as he comforts her in his arms.
