The Last Of Us fans react to shocking final scenes as Ellie unleashes her rage
By BRIAN GALLAGHER
Fans of HBO's The Last Of Us are still mourning the death of Pedro Pascal's Joel Miller back in the second episode of Season 2, but now he's finally coming back.
The hit series is adapted from the 2013 Naughty Dog video game of the same name and its 2020 sequel, the latter of which this season is adapted from.
Season 2 is set five years after the events of Season 1, where Joel liked to the immune Ellie (Bella Ramsey), telling her there is no cure and that the group then known as the Fireflies found other immune people and they couldn't make a cure.
In reality, the Fireflies were preparing to operate on Ellie, killing her to find a cure, before Joel stepped in and killed many soldiers and the doctor planning on operating on her... who turned out to be the father of Abby (Kaitlyn Dever).
Season 2 finds Abby finally tracking Joel down and killing him in front of Ellie, revenge for him killing her father, right in front of Ellie, which sets her down a vengeful path for revenge.
Sunday night's new episode ends with two shocking scenes - the first being Ellie catching up with a member of Abby's crew - Nora (Tati Gabrielle) - and the second being what is seemingly a flashback shot of Joel and Ellie in happier times, both of which fans had strong reactions to online.

Shortly after Joel's death, Ellie and Dina (Isabela Merced) snuck out of Jackson Hole on a journey to Seattle to find Abby and her crew.
This week's episode finds Ellie tracking down Nora, chasing her into a basement area infected with the spores and fungus that caused the global pandemic that destroyed the world.

The Last Of Us review: Season two return is hilariously bad with two-dimensional acting and clichés

Nora ultimately finds out that Ellie is immune, stating that she didn't think 'the immune girl' she had heard about was actually real.
Ellie keeps asking for Abby, as Nora reveals Joel killed everyone in the hospital, and the doctor Joel killed was Abby's father... but Ellie revealed she already knew that, seemingly seeing through the big lie he told at some point in the intervening five years.
After Nora refuses to give up Abby's whereabouts, Ellie grabs a pipe and tries beating the information out of her, unleashing a vengeful rage upon Nora.
The final shot of the episode really had fans talking, though, as it cuts to Ellie waking up in her bed in Jackson Hole, as Joel walks into the room, telling her, 'Hey kiddo.'
The shot is most certainly a flashback - with the credits ironically set to Pearl Jam's Present Tense - as the preview for next week's episode hints that it is, at least in part, set sometime between the end of Season 1 and Joel's death, following suit from the game that had flashback scenes with Joel and Ellie after Joel's death.
Many fans were thrilled to see Pedro Pascal as Joel, with some like @serenaspeers_ seemingly moved to tears.
