The Last of Us Season 2 devastated fans of the HBO show last week when it gave series hero Joel (Pedro Pascal) the same grisly fate of his video game counterpart. Five years after he murdered a hospital full of Fireflies to save Ellie (Bella Ramsey) from certain death, five survivors of that massacre tracked him down to take their revenge. Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) specifically took great pains to torture Joel to death — beating him senseless with a golf club before stabbing him in the neck — as payback for killing her unarmed doctor father. So Joel is dead. What’s next? Where does The Last of Us go now? And when does the next episode of The Last of Us Season 2 come out on HBO and MAX?
HBO’s The Last of Us is an epic live action adaptation of the hit video games of the same name. Season 1 explored the relationship that blossoms between cynical smuggler Joel and immune teenager Ellie as they traverse a post-apocalyptic America. Joel’s mission was to safely shepherd Ellie from Boston to Salt Lake City, where the Fireflies would use her body to attempt to make a cure to the horrific Cordyceps plague. Joel, haven developed paternal feelings for the girl, lashes out with violence to save Ellie from this fate. The Last of Us Season 2 is all about the fallout of Joel’s choice to prioritize Ellie above everyone else.
In The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 2 “Through the Valley,” Ellie swore to kill the Fireflies who participated in Joel’s grisly death. Will she make good on that promise this week?
