Yes, we might have finally gotten our first look at Dina, the better half of the series protagonist Ellie. And finally, we got a look at a very beautiful foal. A foal named Shimmer. Yes, they have teased Ellie’s future girlfriend and her future horse in this episode.

Then at one point Joel and Ellie are shown having a conversation, they start talking about careers and he tells her that he wanted to be a singer. He also tells her that once all this Firefly thing is done with, he would love to settle down on a farm with sheep.

These things play out pretty nicely in the sequel. Ellie has a guitar, Joel taught her to play and sing, and there’s even a farmhouse. And finally, let us not forget that bow the native American couple owned. Make no mistake, it was a very subtle foreshadowing.
