This one has a very satisfying conclusion, though I can't help but feel like the Larry decision is purposefully supposed to make you hate yourself no matter what. Like, morally, I think helping Lilly is the right thing to do, but I also already knew that Kenny kills him anyway and that the next episode is Lilly's last one anyway, so why care? I'd rather help Kenny. I don't remember if you get the chance to try to make up with Kenny if you don't side with him, or if you get the chance to make up with Lilly if you don't side with her, but I don't think you do for either. You're just stuck, which is annoying. To make things even worse, I chose not to kill the brothers, so obviously Lilly sees me spare these two demonstrably worse men than her father right after helping kill him, ugh. Probably the worst-feeling major choice in the first five episodes, no matter what you pick, from what I remember.

I really like Lilly as a character, she has a lot of depth, and if she wasn't so intrinsically linked to her father, she'd be even more enjoyable, but unfortunately you are forced to either shit on her constantly or distance yourself from Kenny, that sucks.

Anyway, when I first watched this episode, I didn't even really know cannibalism was a thing (too young for these games lol) so that being the major twist really caught me by surprise. Funny enough now, though, whenever I see characters like the St. Johns in media, I just kind of immediately assume they're cannibals, particularly in zombie and horror media, and they honestly lay it on thick here, there are practically no other things to suspect them to be.

One thing that bothers me with this kind of game - I suppose it's unavoidable in some capacity - but the text sometimes just does not convey the emotions. So when you rush down to stop Clementine from unknowingly eating people, you might instinctively press the option that says "IT'S PEOPLE!!!" It's literally in all caps, so you'd think Lee's gonna yell it. But... no. He says it pathetically, like he's making a joke and realizing midway through that it's not landing, so Clem still takes a bit. I chose this option because I thought it might stop them all from eating. I guess you can only stop Clem, though. Oh, and on my first attempt before that, my mouse was acting up and instead I said nothing, so I ended up resetting twice, which is quite annoying.

Well, I think moving forward, I'd like to share each of my decisions in each episode, see how my mind operates.

-Chopped off David's leg (I knew he'd die anyway and attack as a zombie, but still)
-Had Danny shoot Jolene (I mean, it's pretty easy not to and why would I?)
-Helped kill Larry (Essentially no choice here, don't try and make me feel bad, game)
-Didn't kill both brothers (or either, for that matter)
-Didn't steal food (I love how Ben says they shouldn't take it but he's got a big goofy grin as he takes a box)

Not a major choice, but I gave food to Larry? Carley, Duck, and Clementine.

Ken calling Lee "urban" and then saying "shit, man, I'm from Florida" kills me 💀
