I thought it was one of those instances where the flashback was a nice break from the breakneck pace of the present timeline
I felt like we learn so little about the inner workings of the Boston QZ and what was going on there. We got a peak from the citizen's side. This time we got a glimpse into the other side
It showed us how Ellie too has lost the closest person to her, and thus what motivates her now in order to not let that happen again
It being engaging from start to finish helped too
Without this and episode three, TLOU's world would feel much smaller and less fleshed out. These episodes help to world build as well as expand on characters. I don't have an issue with it
