Spoiler alert! The following story contains details about Season 2 of HBO’s “The Last of Us” (now streaming).
After devastating viewers with harrowing performances, a gruesome character death and enough Cordyceps zombies to infect viewers dreams, the latest season of HBO’s “The Last of Us” is coming to an end.
The Season 2 finale of HBO’s apocalypse drama airs this weekend, and it’ll pick up from last week’s tearjerker penultimate episode.
Pedro Pascal returned to reprise his role as Joel Miller in a flashback story that took place before his tragic and brutal death in Episode 2. The episode offered clarity on what happened between the two leads after Ellie (Bella Ramsey) learned what Joel did last season. Beyond outraged, Ellie still chooses to try to forgive him, not knowing if she ever will, in a crushing moment, makes his death all the more tragic.
The finale will pick right back up to the present day in Seattle with Ellie continuing her path of vengeance while becoming a soon-to-be parent to Dina’s (Isabela Merced) unborn child. Here’s how to watch the final episode.
