Taking a game and turning it into a show they are going to go off script, and being more character based is an obvious way to do that. Although the episode focused on side characters who we will never see again it was a nice step away for just that reason. It fleshed out the world more, it fleshed out Joel through a glimpse of another relationship he had going on, and personally I love when we get to know side characters more. It was an interesting take on survival in a post apocalyptic world.
Aside from that though on it's own the episode was absolutely beautiful. Knew it was going to end in tears from the start but damn was it worth the ride.
