"The Price" is the sixth episode of the second season of the American post-apocalyptic drama television series The Last of Us. Directed by series co-creator Neil Druckmann, who co-wrote it with Halley Gross and Craig Mazin, it aired on HBO on May 18, 2025. The episode follows Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) over several years in Jackson, Wyoming, as they celebrate Ellie's birthdays and she grows suspicious of Joel's lie, especially after they encounter an infected Eugene Lynden (Joe Pantoliano). The episode was the second to be directed by Druckmann, who had also co-directed and co-wrote The Last of Us Part II (2020), the video game on which the second season is based. He appreciated the episode's focus on drama more than action and was nervous about revisiting scenes that were important to him. Some scenes are adapted directly from the video game but in a different order; the episode consists of several flashbacks in succession, contrasting with their disparate structure in the game. Critics considered the episode the season's best, praising Druckmann's direction, the writing, and Pascal and Ramsey's chemistry and performances. It received several awards nominations; at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, Pascal submitted the episode to support his nomination for Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Pantoliano was nominated for Guest Actor. The episode had 701,000 viewers on linear television and was among the most-watched across all streaming services for the week.
