The Last Of Us fans 'in tears' over devastating act following bombshell death
After the shocking death of a fan-favorite character, The Last of Us fans continue to mourn on social media with Sunday's brand new episode.
The series follows Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they try to navigate the aftermath of a global pandemic caused by a mass fungal infection.
Ellie possesses a bizarre immunity to the disease, as Joel learned at the end of Season 1 that the Fireflies planned to kill Ellie and study her brain to try and develop a cure.
Joel responded violently, killing many soldiers and an unarmed doctor, lying to Ellie by telling her they found other immune people and could not develop a cure.
Season 2 began earlier this month, set five years after the first season, introducing Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), the daughter of the doctor Joel killed who tracked him down and brutally killed him in front of Ellie in last week's episode.
Now that Joel is gone, Ellie goes on a journey for justice, which includes a touching tribute that fans responded to on social media.
Ellie's friend Dina (Isabela Merced) reveals that she actually knows the people who killed Joel, telling Ellie their names and that they can be found in Seattle.
Ellie puts together a proposal for the Jackson Hole council to round up a posse of 16 and travel to Seattle to kill the men and women who killed Joel.
While Ellie insisted she would honor whatever the council decides, when they reject her proposal by a wide margin, she sets off on her own with Dina and one horse.
Earlier, Joel's brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) told Ellie where they buried Joel, and she stopped to visit his grave before embarking on this vengeful journey.
While she doesn't say anything at the gravestone, she dropped some coffee beans on the ground near his gravestone with a sly smile.
The moment was a callback to Episode 4 of Season 1, where Ellie makes fun of Joel for drinking coffee, saying it smelled like, 'burnt s**t.'
While it's unclear how the Jackson Hole leaders will react to Ellie and DIna's absence, the episode ended with the friends reaching the city of Seattle.
Fans were clearly still in mourning, sharing several tweets about how they miss Joel's presence on the beloved series.
Stacey (@blankindigo) tweeted, 'ellie putting coffee beans on joel's grave actually broke me #TheLastOfUs.'
Another X user dubbed @bigcountry__6 said, 'Ellie dropping the coffee beans on Joel's grave in #TheLastOfUs CRAIG MAZIN AND NEIL DRUCKMANN YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS.'
Another fan - @fefiholtz - shared images from the video game and tonight's episode, adding, 'i cried for you in all your universes, Joel #TheLastOfUs.'
Ange (@lananyra) shared a GIF of Tyrese Gibson crying, adding, 'I MISS JOEL SO BAD #TheLastOfUs #TheLastOfUsSeason2.'
Brittany (@brittrosenthal) said, 'there's no show without joel im sorry #thelastofus,' while @casuallyhottogo said, 'the coffee beans #TheLastOfUs.'
Ana Karen (@simpleluna3) said, 'Grace said that some might feel like it's a different show without Joel and I must say I kinda felt it already.'
Kad (@Ani_Kad) added, 'Bella did such a great job at showing the impact Joel's death had on Ellie, that hospital scene when she walked out and her mask fell.���� That town hall meeting scene was really good too, Jackson's presence is felt way more here than in the game and i love that!! #TheLastOfUs.'
Brittany added, 'ellie crying with joel's shirt NOOOO #thelastofus' while Manan B (@themannyb26) said 'Ellie leaving coffee beans at Joel's grave made me tear up in ways I didn't imagine #TheLastOfUs.'
Gibson (@GibsonMenace77) said, 'Rest In Power, Joel... #TheLastOfUs.'
Stacey (@blankindigo) tweeted, 'ellie putting coffee beans on joel's grave actually broke me #TheLastOfUs.'
Another X user dubbed @bigcountry__6 said, 'Ellie dropping the coffee beans on Joel's grave in #TheLastOfUs CRAIG MAZIN AND NEIL DRUCKMANN YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS.'

Brittany added, 'ellie crying with joel's shirt NOOOO #thelastofus' while Manan B (@themannyb26) said 'Ellie leaving coffee beans at Joel's grave made me tear up in ways I didn't imagine #TheLastOfUs'
The episode also showed Ellie get some help from an unexpected ally - Seth (Robert John Burke) - who was taken down by Joel after he bashed Ellie and Dina kissing at the New Year's Eve dance.
He was on Ellie's side this time, though, wanting to get revenge for Joel's death, but instead he traded Ellie a better rifle for the journey.
Fans will have to wait to next week to see how the Jackson Hole council will respond to Ellie and Dina going rogue.
The Last Of Us airs the fourth episode of its seven-episode season on Sunday, May 4 at 9 PM ET on HBO.

Top 5 Controversial Celebrity Family Moments And Ellie isn't the only person to have an unusual family tree. Celina, 37, revealed that she had three kids with her husband, before realising he was her cousin. The secret came out, after her husband Joseph, 44 did a DNA test to find out more about his heritage. "When I realised that we were cousins, I was a little sick to my stomach", Celina told Love Don't Judge.

Their fourth son, also named Armani, was stillborn. Joseph was in complete denial at first, but after looking closely at the data, realised the truth. The DNA test confirmed that the duo are third to fifth cousins, and the revelation left them questioning their relationship. "I thought we were supposed to get divorced, but then I started thinking that for out children we need to stay together", Celina said. Celina described the revelation as a "pivotal moment" as "you're not supposed to be with your cousin, but it happened that way". Joseph added that he meant it in his wedding vows when he said: "Till death to us part", so he decided not to leave his wife due to the discovery.

Dakota Johnson spotted 'kissing' co-star after Chris Martin's on-stage message
Dakota Johnson was seen with her on-screen love interest and co-star Chris Evans' arm around her waist at the New York City premiere of her upcoming romantic comedy, Materialists Dakota Johnson 'kissed' her Materialists co-star at the New York City premiere of her new movie on Saturday night, after her ex Chris Martin supported her upcoming movie. While she attended the event and posed for photos, the 35-year-old had Chris Evans' arm tightly wrapped around her waist. The stunning actress looked in high spirits as she stood in front of the cameras with Marvel star Evans, but it wasn't him she locked lips with. In Pedro Pascal's absence, she held up a cardboard cut-out of her on-screen love interest and kissed Pascal's photo, who plays her 'perfect match' in the film. Materialists is Dakota's upcoming rom-com, set for release in August. In it, she plays protagonist Lucy, a young, ambitious New York City matchmaker, who finds herself unable to choose between her 'perfect match' and her imperfect ex. The love triangle her character finds herself embroiled in is between The Last of Us actor Pascal's charming billionaire Harry, and Marvel star Chris Evans, who plays her college sweetheart. Acclaimed filmmaker Celine Song is at the helm, with much-hyped movie hoping to revive the genre at the box office. Dakota's light-hearted display comes as her rumoured ex Chris Martin showed public support for her new movie, urging a sold-out stadium of Coldplay fans to go and see it. The 48-year-old singer was reported to have split from his partner of eight years this week. Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota has been reported to be "devastated" by the break-up, but sources have also suggested it was a long-time coming. Amiable Chris still showed his support to Dakota, who has reportedly been just as upset about losing contact with his children, after growing close to them. Chris was closing his Allegiant Stadium gig in Las Vegas, addressing the audience to say: "Thank you so much everybody." He added: "Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other. Don't forget to see Materialists! We love you!" But off the big screen, Dakota's love life has been just as challenging, with the actress' rep forced to deny break-up rumours back in August 2024. On Monday June 2, Dakota was seen out in New York without her engagement ring. Neither Dakota nor Chris has confirmed or spoken on the reports yet, but a source has claimed that the rumoured split has been "painful" for Dakota. Speaking to the Sun, a they revealed: "Dakota wanted this relationship to work. "She not only loves Chris, but his two kids, and that loss feels incredibly painful. The decision to end things was amicable, but Dakota is finding it hard. Over the past year, it became clear that their relationship had stalled and wasn't moving forwards." As Coldplay's world tour continues, Dakota has been working on promoting Materialists, as well as her other upcoming film Verity. The latter is set for release in 2026, and is an adaptation of It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover's novel of the same name. Although they have had to shut down split rumours before, the Mail reports that this time, it's final. An insider told the paper: "Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much. "Breakups aren't instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they'd get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren't right for each other anymore... Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them."

The star is following in the footsteps of her famous actress mother and is set to have a huge role in an upcoming Hollywood film. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Nepo baby with Hollywood A-list parents stuns on the red carpet Credit: Getty 5 The star is following in the footsteps of her famous actress mother Credit: Getty Nico Parker wowed on the red carpet at the Train Your Dragon Immersive Experience screening at Frameless in London, this week. The 20-year-old showed up and showed out in an elegant cream and pink dress with sheer laced sleeves and back which draped to the floor. The British actress paired the look with some pointed nude heels and some simple jewellery. If you haven't already guessed Nico is the daughter to none other than actress Thandiwe Newton and famous director Ol Parker. Thandie and Ol also share 24-year-old Ripley and their youngest son Booker. Nico shot to stardom at just 14-years-old with her Hollywood debut of the remake of Disney's classic live-action Dumbo. She has gone on to have notable roles in HBO's hit series The Last Of Us and Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. Now, the actress is set to star in her biggest role to date as Astrid in the upcoming live-action remake of the 2010 film How To Train Your Dragon. The film is set to release in the UK on June 9. The story will follow Hiccup played by standout actor Mason Thames on his journey bonding with a dragon, Gerard Butler will also be starring in the film as his father Stoick. How To Train Your Dragon Trailer (2025) official trailer This week, while promoting the film, Nico opened up about her famous mum and dad, on ITV's Lorraine, and revealed how "supportive" they were about her career. "My parents, the really lovely thing about both of them is that their advice is predominantly about, you know, how to be a good person, rather than, you know, how to behave on a film set," she said. "And I think that what's lovely about that is that the two kind of bleed into one another, because I think it's much more important to be a nice and normal person and be kind to others, rather than, you know, know what angle best suits you. "So, the advice that I get from them feels very, very much more so about life and things like that. 5 Nico is the daughter to none other than actress Thandiwe Newton Credit: Reuters "And the wonderful thing about that is that you can then take it on to work and wherever you go." Back in 2018, Thandiwe appeared on UK daytime show This Morning and spoke about how she manages her daughter entering the acting world. She said: 'Having a mother and father in the industry… she's been on endless sets. It's not that she takes it for granted, but it's not a world that she feels she's not entitled to be in. '(Plus) she has her mum right there like a lioness checking that everything is looked after. You can't stop the industry operating the way it has unless the truth comes out. 'I feel this great relief, excitement for the women coming into this industry now,' she added. 5 Nico's dad is famous director Ol Parker Credit: Getty
