Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for The Last of Us Episode 3.Though The Last of Us video game's version of Bill is a man stubbornly set in his ways who often irritates, antagonizes, and alienates the people around him, HBO's version of the character is a layered and deeply satisfying portrayal, showcasing both Bill's harder, less likable edges and his deeply sensitive, long-suffering heart.
Bill's Transformation from Hermetic to Romantic After Offerman's Bill avoids government evacuation by hiding out in a secret survivalist shelter, he becomes the lone owner and occupant of a small town. When Bill takes off his gas mask and surveys the otherwise empty streets, Offerman's look of mischievous self-satisfaction says it all: this is the moment that he's been waiting for his entire life.
Later Frank is wowed by Bill's high-class accommodations and thoughtful meal preparation. When Frank tries to play a song from a Linda Ronstadt songbook on the piano, Bill winces and stops him abruptly. Frank suggests that Bill play it himself, which he does, and its lyrics reveal a deep and unfulfilled longing. Frank creates a moment of intimacy between them, and they kiss.
When Joel offers Bill a deal that will help secure his fence and thereby provide safety for both Bill and Frank, there is a war of emotions in Bill's eyes. Joel has correctly found Bill's weakness, his love for Frank, and although Bill does not wish to rely on a stranger, he knows that if Joel is telling the truth, such supplies could come in handy.

Nick Offerman's Flirty Hair Flip in 'The Last of Us' Saved Me From DespairIt was a cute, extremely relatable moment in one of the most incredible, heartbreaking episodes of television I've ever seen. Milady, this episode broke me. The use of “A Long Time” by Linda Ronstadt had me on the floor sobbing. It deserves an Emmy. You’re mixing up Bill and Frank. Those were Frank’s strawberries, for which he traded one of Bill’s guns. Also, Frank cleaned up the town, not Bill.
