Summary
Ed and Madison are polar opposites. Madison is a straight A student who's never smoked a cigarette or skipped class, while Ed can't be bothered to attend school half the time. Through words of encouragement and a hint of bad influence, he takes her places she'd never go on her own, while she finds herself helping him through his own bottled up demons and lack of self-confidence. Ed struggles to find happiness and love and with a little bit of hope and a handful of wishes, he might actually have what it takes to find success.

Summary
Ellie wakes up alone in the Salt Lake City hospital—drugged, disoriented, and separated from Joel. When she overhears Marlene plotting her execution and Joel’s, she escapes, bloodied and barefoot, making her way across the city to save him. Together, they leave a trail of dead Fireflies behind: Dr. Anderson among them, Marlene left broken but breathing.
They make it back to Jackson—battered, haunted, but alive. For a while, they find peace. They try to forget. To heal. Ellie starts to believe she might have a future. Joel dares to hope she’ll be safe.
But the past doesn’t stay buried.
And what they ran from has found them again.
This time, there’s nowhere left to run.

Summary
"“It’s ok, baby girl,” he says in a breath as he shuts his eyes, trying to keep himself upright against a surge of heartache. He hears the words as if someone else has said them, like they didn’t leave his lips – but immediately feels the truth in it. The wall he’s tried to keep up between Ellie and Sarah, the nothing-but-bullshit line he’s drawn to try to somehow separate what they are to him is gone. There’s no more pretending. She’s his to take care of – that’s how she ended up here shaking and bleeding, after all, isn’t it?"

Summary
“Are you in trouble? Back home?”
The ends of her sweatshirt are grasped in her fists, wrapped around her hands. He half expects her to pull the hood up, tie the strings over her face, and completely tuck herself away. It makes him think of the other night with that nasty motel bedspread pulled right up beneath her chin, asking about locks on the door. It makes him think of a scared kid.
“What difference does it make?” Ellie mumbles out while avoiding his gaze. “I’m out of there now.” She turns a steely gaze towards him. “And I’m not going back.”
“Wasn’t planning on makin’ ya,” Joel whispers in the late night air. The stars are coming out. If it’s a clear enough night, maybe he can point out Mars to her.
or:
Ellie's a foster kid who helps herself to the bed of Joel's truck to get where she needs to go. Joel is a sucker who just can't turn her away.

Summary
There were footprints she didn’t recognize leading up to the house.
For a moment, Ellie couldn’t breathe, choking on the frigid morning air, and she had a horrible vision of her dying here, outside, mere yards from where Joel – where Joel –
He’s not dead, she told herself firmly. And he won’t be if I have anything to say about it.
---
What if David and his men beat Ellie back to Joel in episode 8, and she never got a chance to warn him they were coming?
