The Last of Us episode 1 ending explained — What does that Depeche Mode song really mean?

as we jump back to a happier, more tubular time where shoulder pads and the mullet reigned supreme. But first, some context...jumps to the present AKA 2023, a lot of time is spent establishing how Joel and Tess navigate this grim, post-apocalyptic world. We're also introduced to Ellie, a stubborn teenage girl who's harbouring one whopper of a secret.

When things go awry, it's left to Joel and Tess to help Marlene's cause and smuggle Ellie out instead. The trio then regroup at Joel's place where they discuss the best route to take outside in fungal territory.Meanwhile, Ellie stumbles across something intriguing that will become very important in the future. More on that below.

Things go okay until everyone stumbles across a guard pissing against the wall. It's the guy Joel made a deal with earlier on in the episode, so he and Tess figure some bribery is the only way out of this tight spot. With no choice but to trust her, Joel and Tess take Ellie through the last fence which has a giant FEDRA warning slapped on it. You know, just in case you forgot this was kind of dangerous.

Given the contents of this book, it turns out that the code corresponds to a specific decade of music. So if anything is played from the '60s, Bill and Frank don't have new stock to share or trade with Joel. If a '70s bop comes on, they're good to go. And an '80s anthem like anything from Wham's enviable discography – that spells trouble, but of what kind?

Surprise, surprise. The song was released on 24th August, 1987, which spells trouble for Bill and Frank. It must be a lot of trouble too if they're playing more than one '80s anthem in a row, but we can't give away much more than that.
