That episode was basically a short story set in the same universe almost entirely unrelated to Joel and Ellie. Other than the letter at the end changing Joel's perspective, it didn't tie in with the main plot at all. It is entirely skippable (with a brief explanation to a viewer about what they missed regarding Joel and Ellie in that episode) even if it was very well-done in its own right.
