The Walkman and the Pretender Eggs

Ellie's anxiety around the Walkman, we know that like Star Lord and, and Guardians has a very personal connection to the mix tapes. We are immediately put in a space where we are associating Ellie with a person that we haven't even met yet. Bethany says you don't fight your friend fights and she's not here anymore on this episode. Is it such close to the head that Ellie is again? And I love when Bethany says "I need to talk about f***ing Bethany" It's just like choking on them.
