đ Click Here to read in detail đ
The Last of Us season 2 premiere has Us wondering why Ellie (Bella Ramsey) is so mad at Joel (Pedro Pascal) â and whatâs going to happen when Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) comes to town.
The highly anticipated second season of HBOâs hit series premiered on Sunday, April 13, with an emotionally-charged episode that raised some major questions from viewers.
Spoilers for The Last of Us season 2 premiere below.
The episode kicked off with a brief flashback to the end of season 1. Viewers, once again, got to see the moment Joel swore to Ellie that he wasnât lying about the Fireflies and cordyceps cure. (Friendly reminder: he was, in fact, lying.)
Manny (Danny Ramirez) speaks the first words of season two asking: âWhy would he do this?â Itâs quickly revealed that he was asking about Joel as Nora (Tati Gabrielle) responds to his question.

The Last of Us follows a group of survivors after a pandemic wipes out most of humanity, but itâs not a virus that causes the catastrophe â itâs a fungus. The culprit is cordyceps, a real fungus that has evolved in the show to infect humans, who become zombie-like after exposure. While minor characters come [âŚ]
She starts to say, âI heard rumors about some kid he took that was supposedlyââ until Mel (Ariela Barer) cuts her off saying that the rumors werenât true. The conversation is held in a makeshift Fireflies graveyard, which seemingly consists of all the bodies Joel put down during the hospital massacre in the season 1 finale.
Liane Hentscher/HBOAbby tells the group that their next mission is âfindingâ Joel. âNone of this is f***ing fair,â she says. Owen (Spencer Lord) convinces Abby to travel to Seattle to find someone named Isaac (Jeffrey Wright) so they can assist with the hunt for Joel.
âWhen we kill him, we kill him slowly,â Abby says.
After the title sequence rolls, The Last of Us season 2 makes a five-year time jump.
Ellie, now 19, is perfecting her combat skills â literally â with a mini-fight club in Jackson, Wyoming, run by new friend Jesse (Young Mazino). Joel, meanwhile, is running Jacksonâs construction crew, which includes Ellieâs best friend Dina (Isabela Merced). Under the pretense of asking Joel for help, Dina reveals tension between him and Ellie.
âCan I ask a question?â Dina says. âWhy is she angry at you?â
Joel replies, âShe said she was angry?â
Joel, shaking it off, chalks Ellieâs mood up to ânormalâ teenager behavior â mentioning his late daughter, Sarah, introducing a new and improved Joel Miller. Dina also drops the news that Joel is in therapy.
Ellie, more or less unhinged, is shooting Infected any chance she gets despite Joelâs protests to take her off patrols. Tommy (Gabriel Luna) has no choice but to side with Ellie, even though thatâs not what his older brother wants.
It seems Joelâs relationship with his sister-in-law Maria (Rutina Wesley) has blossomed as the two are working together on an expansion plan for Jackson. The softer side â some might even say the daddy side â of Joel really comes out when heâs with nephew Benjamin as well.
Viewers also get an inside look at his aforementioned therapy sessions with Gail (Catherine OâHara), whoâs drunk and knows that Joel âshot and killedâ her husband. (He pays for sessions in marijuana.)

HBO has officially renewed The Last of Us for yet another season ahead of the showâs highly-anticipated season 2 premiere. Multiple outlets confirmed the news on Wednesday, April 9, along with a statement from the showâs cocreator Craig Mazin. âWe approached season 2 with the goal of creating something we could be proud of,â Mazin, [âŚ]
Â
The nature of their sessions surround Joelâs issues with Ellie, but Gail more or less declares that theyâre not getting anywhere since heâs âlyingâ to her.
Liane Hentscher/HBOâSay the thing youâre afraid to say,â she coaxes him. âDid you do something to her?â
Joel replies, âI saved her.â
Elsewhere in Jackson, Ellie and Dina head out on patrol and (shocker) donât do what theyâre told. Because of this, Ellie comes face-to-face with an evolving breed of Infected â the Stalker. She gets bit again, and for those counting, that would be three bites for Ellie, our immune queen.
After the excitement of damn-near dying â again â Dina invites Ellie to the Jackson New Yearâs Eve celebration. While at the party, Dina and Ellie share a kiss and promptly get called a slur by another Jackson resident. When Joel steps in to protect Ellie, itâs revealed how deep their issues actually are.

âWhat is wrong with you?â she asks. âI donât need your f***ing help.â
The episode comes to an end with two major hints to whatâs coming. The first, a live cordyceps tendril is flourishing in Jacksonâs pipe system. The second, Abby and her crew appear to be on the way.
New episodes of The Last of Us premieres on HBO Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
