Why did Ellie leave coffee beans on Joel's grave in The Last Of Us 2? Know the real meaning
In episode 3 of The Last Of Us season 2, Ellie leaves coffee beans on Joel's grave. While it may be a very heartfelt sequence, there's a valid reason behind her doing it. Joel's shocking death in the second episode left not only the fans devastated, but also Ellie. In the five-year time gap between seasons 1 and 2, her relationship with Joel grows more complicated, as we see in episode 1, but her profound sense of love for Joel is demonstrated by this one gesture in episode 3.

Episode 3 shows Ellie setting out for revenge against the Washington Liberal Front (WLF) which includes Abby and her group. As Dina was present during Joel's murder, she knows the assailants were from the WLF and the council held a vote to discuss the matter of spending a sixteen-person crew to seek revenge. When they were outvoted, Ellie and Dina ventured out on their own but made a quick stop at a graveyard built just outside Jackson, Wyoming.
When Ellie and Dina go up to Joel's grave, Ellie leaves behind some coffee beans on the grave. This symbolizes that although she had complicated feelings for Joel in her life, she still wants to remember him for something positive – here, his love for coffee. The topic of coffee was something both of them joked about, as she found coffee to be too bitter and questioned Joel why he loved it so much. Her way of saying goodbye to Joel was both loving, meaningful, and bittersweet.

Since The Last Of Us takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, the older characters like Joel are still bound to the elements of their previous normal lives. Like many other things, Joel's love for coffee became a growing commodity in the world after the Cordyceps outbreak, making it more meaningful for Ellie to give some coffee beans to honour him at his grave.

Billy Joel attempted suicide twice, fell into coma after his affair with former bandmate's wife
Singer-songwriter and pianist Billy Joel opened up about the dark and painful phase of life. After the premiere of his new documentary, Billy Joel: And So It Goes, at the Tribeca Festival, the ace musician shared that he underwent two suicide attempts and fell into a coma after he had an affair with his former bandmate's wife. (Also read: Billy Joel brain disorder diagnosis: List of canceled concerts and how to get ticket refunds?) In his early 20s, Joel was in a band called Attila with his best friend Jon Small. At the time, he moved in with Small, Elizabeth Weber -- Small's wife -- and their son, reported People. "Bill and I spent a lot of time together," Elizabeth said in the documentary, adding that it was a "slow build." Then, Small realised something was up and Joel came to him with the truth: "I'm in love with your wife." "I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a homewrecker," the singer said, adding, "I was just in love with a woman and I got punched in the nose, which I deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset." This fight resulted in the end of Attila and the end of their friendship for some time. Years later, Elizabeth and Joel reconnected and were married from 1973-1982. "I had no place to live. I was sleeping in laundromats and I was depressed, I think to the point of almost being psychotic," he said in the documentary. "So I figured, 'That's it. I don't want to live anymore.' I was just in a lot of pain and it was sort of like why hang out, tomorrow is going to be just like today is and today sucks. So, I just thought I'd end it all," reported People. Joel's sister, Judy Molinari, was working as a medical assistant, and she gave him sleeping pills to help him sleep. "But Billy decided that he was going to take all of them... he was in a coma for days and days and days," she said in the documentary, adding, "I went to go see him in the hospital, and he was laying there white as a sheet. I thought that I'd killed him." Small added, "He never really said anything to me, the only practical answer I can give as to why Billy took it so hard was because he loved me that much and that it killed him to hurt me that much. Eventually I forgave him." After the suicide attempts, he felt like a "lost soul" and checked himself into an "observation ward." The experience was life-changing for Joel, who was released within a couple of weeks. "I got out of the observation ward and I thought to myself, you can utilise all those emotions to channel that stuff into music," he said, reported People. Billy Joel: And So It Goes is slated to hit HBO in July. (ANI)
