The Last of Us Season 2 finale ended with a cliffhanger, and fans have been debating what happened to one of the lead characters, Ellie. Let’s discuss what went down and what it could mean for the future of the show.
The Confrontation Between Ellie and Abby
The climax of the finale had Ellie trace Abby’s group to the coast’s aquarium, where she met back up with Tommy and Jesse. Things turned sour, though, when Abby killed Jesse, the first time Ellie had laid eyes on her since Joel’s death. Abby then stood over wounded Tommy, threatening to kill him if Ellie didn’t drop her gun.
The Fateful Moment
As Abby pointed her gun, the camera returned to Ellie uttering “No, no, no!” and a gunshot was fired, with the screen going black. The question in everyone’s mind is: did Abby shoot Ellie?
The Uncertainty Continues
The episode concluded without resolution, and fans were left wondering what happened to Ellie. Considering that Joel’s death was the central point of the first season, no other principal character would probably be killed off so early. The story of the show appears to be laying down grounds for more turns and twists, keeping the audience on the edge.
