Well, folks, we made it to the end of HBO’s The Last of Us. Wait, scratch that. I just got word that we’re only halfway through because this show is going for four seasons. Honestly, I’m feeling a bit deflated at this point. Last week’s episode was such a downer that it cemented my belief that the show doesn’t quite get The Last of Us Part II, the game it’s based on. But hey, if you’ve already broken the vase, you might as well keep playing ball, right? So, it looks like we’ll be stuck with this show until 2029. We’re now at the season two finale, wrapping up Ellie’s side of the revenge story and setting the stage for season three.
Jesse tends to Dina’s wounds inflicted by the Seraphites, showcasing his amateur surgical skills. Ellie returns to the theater, concerned for Dina, while Jesse wonders where she’s been. Dina, resting backstage, is attended to by Ellie and Jesse. The scene is detailed with nostalgic show posters and graffiti, a nod to the past. As Ellie checks on Dina’s wound, she discovers her own injuries, leading to a heart-to-heart about their experiences apart. Ellie reveals her encounter with Nora, shedding light on her actions and mindset.
The episode unfolds with flashbacks and present-day events, exploring the dynamics between the characters and their motivations. The tension escalates as Ellie and Jesse confront their differences, culminating in a tragic turn of events. The season ends on a cliffhanger, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the characters’ journeys in the upcoming seasons. Stay tuned for more twists and turns as the story unfolds in unexpected ways.
