Even that is way, way too much for one episode.
Spoiler!
Go back and watch how much you have to do to get to that point. The whole prologue happens (which, for me, would be at least one full episode), then the scene in the apartment with Joel and Tess, they decide to go find Robert, they see a bombing and have to change course, they make their way through an infected area, gather information about where Robert is, go have a shootout with some of Robert's men, then him, then chase him down, interrogate him, kill him, then meet an injured Marlene, then go with Marlene to where Ellie is.
That's at least 3 episodes worth of content - more if you want to give some background to Marlene and the Fireflies, which I don't know why you wouldn't.
It just doesn't make sense that this would be so rushed. Presumably they want to milk a few seasons out of it. No reason to do the whole first game (or nearly all of it) in the first season. You could just do it right up until the Henry and Sam thing and you'd be golden, or if you want a happy ending, cap off season 1 with the reunion with Tommy. Plenty of content to fill a season either way. But based on that information, I'm very skeptical about all of this.
