'The Last of Us' Season 2, Episode 6 recap: Pedro Pascal and Joe Pantoliano will emotionally wreck you
The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 6 may in fact be the best episode in the season. But be prepared, because this episode is likely to emotionally wreck you. We're taking a bit of a pause on Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina's (Isabela Merced) journey and we're going back in time, before Joel's (Pedro Pascal) death. We begin by getting a glimpse into Joel's childhood, ahead of seeing the events of Ellie's 15th, 16th, 17th and 19th birthdays. Where to watch The Last of Us: Crave in Canada, HBO and Max in the Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Gabriel Luna, Rutina Wesley, Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Young Mazino, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord, Danny Ramirez, Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey WrightNumber of episodes: 7 The episode begins in Austin, Texas in 1983, with a young Joel trying to console his brother Tommy, who's concerned that their father is going to be so mad that he'll "get the belt" as punishment for an altercation involving Tommy buying drugs. Joel tells his brother he'll take the punishment for what he did. Tommy's in his room when their father, a police officer played by Tony Dalton, shows up. He demands that Joel tells him what happened with his brother, in the 30 minutes before he has to be back on patrol. Joel tells his dad he was buying pot from a kid who tried to rip him off, and they got into a fight. But his dad isn't buying it, saying that he knows it was Tommy who was buying the drugs. Joel and Tommy's dad goes to the fridge and gets a beer for himself, and Joel, telling him a "humiliating" story about how he stole a candy bar as a kid and his father broke his jaw. Stressing that even though he's hit Joel and Tommy, it was "never like that." And just like he's done a "little better" than his father, he hopes Joel does the same when he becomes a father. Moving forward in the timeline to Ellie's 15th birthday, Joel trades Seth (Robert John Burke) a bag of LEGO pieces for his grandkids for a cake for Ellie's birthday. Back at home, Joel is painstakingly restoring a guitar for Ellie when Tommy brings her back home. Ellie burned her arm while working kitchen duty alone. She pushed her forearm, where her bite mark is, up against a hot pot. "I just wanted to wear short sleeves again," Ellie says, as Joel comforts her. The next day she comes downstairs to see a birthday cake with "Happy Birthday Eli" on it, prompting Joel to say he hopes Seth bakes better than he can spell. Then Joel gives her the guitar and, after Ellie's insistence that he play her a song, he plays 'Future Days' by Pearl Jam, which we heard Ellie play in Episode 5. What's appealing about this week's episode is that we're back to the great banter between and Ellie and Joel, particularly true when we get to Ellie's 16th birthday. As they hike through the forest, Joel and Ellie talk about how Ellie wants to be on patrol, and Joel thinks that she has a crush on Jesse. But Joel's birthday surprise brings them to the abandoned Wyoming Museum of Science and History. He even went earlier to prep some of the exhibits for her to experience. Ellie is particularly amazed by the Apollo 15 capsule from the 1971 mission, and breaks the glass that's housing an original helmet, which she puts on her head. Laying inside the spacecraft, Joel hands Ellie a cassette tape, which has a recording of the audio from the space launch. Ellie has a massive smile on her face as she imagines going to space, and Joel is just as happy to see Ellie happy. Then we skip ahead one year later, Ellie's 17th birthday. But this time as Joel goes to Ellie's room to bring her a cake, he interrupts her spending some intimate time with Kat (Noah Lamanna). They were also smoking weed and Kat was tattooing Ellie's forearm, where Ellie burnt herself. That night, Ellie tries to move her mattress into the garage and gives Joel attitude about not "owning anything," because they live in a home he was given. And Joel agrees that she should have her own space, but asks for a few days to fix up the garage. Joel is curious about Ellie's obsession with moths, and when he asks Gail (Catherine O'Hara) what they mean, Gail says they usually signify death in dreams. As Ellie is packing up her room to move into the garage, including her moth drawings, we see "You have a greater purpose" written on one of the papers. Moving to Ellie's 19th birthday, she's on her bed reading out a list of questions for Joel about what happened in Salt Lake, including how they got out of the hospital, how the Fireflies could have been surprised by a group of raiders and why no one has heard of the immune people. But she's interrupted by Joel who tells her he's agreed to have trained for patrol. As they go out together, Joel says it would be nice if they could spend more time together, but then he gets a call that Eugene needs back up. While Joel tells Ellie to go home she responds with, "I'm not your f—king kid, Joel. I'm your partner. We stick together." As they reach Eugene (Joe Pantoliano), they see that he has a bite, but he wants them to bring him to the gate of the Jackson community so he can say goodbye to Gail. Ellie tries to get Joel to agree and he tells her to go get the horses while he walks up with Eugene, promising Ellie they'll all travel back. But when she leaves, Joel guides Eugene towards the water to shoot him. "I need her last words, for me!" Eugene cries. "I'm dying. I'm terrified. I don't need a view, I need Gail. To see her face, please. Please let that be the last thing I see." "If you love someone, you can always see their face," Joel says in response. "I see her," Eugene says just before he's killed. When Ellie arrives, Joel tells her he's sorry, and as they ride back, dragging Eugene's covered body, Joel says he'll tell Gail what she needs to know, "nothing more," and the he "had no choice." Then we see the heartbreaking moment when Gail stands next to Eugene's wrapped up body. Joel says Eugene told him to tell her that he loved her and that he wished he could say goodbye to her in person, but he didn't want to put her in danger. Joel added that Eugene ended it himself. But Ellie speaks up and says that's not what happened. She tells Gail that Eugene begged to see her and Joel promised them both that he could, but then Joel shot him in the head. Gail slaps Joel across the face, telling him to get away from her as she cries over Eugene's dead body. Another time jump to the New Year's Eve party we saw at the beginning of the season, we see what we missed in that first episode. While Ellie told Gail she didn't speak to Joel that night, that's not true. After Seth harasses Ellie and Dina who are dancing together and kissing, and Joel pushes him, Ellie goes to talk to Joel, as he's playing the guitar on the porch. At first, Ellie is adamant that she had Seth under control and she doesn't want to hear about Joel taking her off patrol again. Joel acknowledges what Ellie said and asks if Dina is her girlfriend. Ellie says no, but admits she does like her. "She'd be lucky to have you," Joel says, as Ellie responds by saying he's an asshole for lying to her about Eugene. But she recognizes that he had the same look in Salt Lake. "I'm going to give you one last chance, tell me what happened with the Fireflies. If you lie to me again, we're done," Ellie says. Joel confirms, just by shaking and nodding his head, that there weren't other immune people, or raiders, and they could have made a cure. When Ellie asks if Joel killed the Fireflies, he nods his head yes, and says that a cure would have meant Ellie died. "That was my purpose. My life would have f—king mattered!" Ellie shouts back. "But you took that from me. You took that from everyone." "Yes, and I'll pay the price. Because you're going to turn away from me. But somehow if I had a second chance at that moment, I'd do it over again," Joel says. Ellie calls Joel "selfish," but his response is that he did it because he loves her, in a way that she doesn't understand. "If you should have one of your own, ... I hope you do a little better than me," Joel says sobbing, echoing what he heard from his own father. While Ellie admits she's not sure if she can forgive Joel, she says she wants to "try." And that's the end of the look back at Joel and Ellie's relationship, as we're left with a final image of Ellie walking in the rain, after beating Nora (Tati Gabrielle).

'The Last of Us' Season 2, Episode 5 recap: Return of Tati Gabrielle and more surprise appearances
We've reached the final three episodes of The Last of Us Season 2, as we follow Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Merced) on their quest to find Abby (Kaitlyn Dever). Travelling through Seattle amid the feud between the Washington Liberation Front (W.L.F.) and Seraphites, also called Scars, things get even more gruesome on the show this week. But continuing a pattern we've seen in multiple episodes now, Episode 5 starts with a look back at the past. Specifically with Hanrahan, played by Alanna Ubach. Where to watch The Last of Us: Crave in Canada, HBO and Max in the Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Gabriel Luna, Rutina Wesley, Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Young Mazino, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord, Danny Ramirez, Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey WrightNumber of episodes: 7 The episode begins with Hanrahan, arriving at a hospital controlled by the W.L.F., noticing a stairwell boarded up. She then questions Elise Park (Hettienne Park) about why she killed some of her own men by doing so, "including Leon." Elise explains that her unit was responsible for securing the hospital, which they did without trouble, and all that was left was the basement. But with components of the building collapsing, there was only one stairwell with access to the three basement levels. After B1 was clear, Elise sent a team to B2 the next day, led by Leon, who she highlights was particularly skilled. Leon was able to radio back an update that there were Cordyceps, then five minutes later he communicated again, but could hardly speak. Elise thought he had been bitten, but Leon said, "It's in the air. Seal us in." Elise and the rest of the team did as Leon said. That's when Hanrahan reveals the most devastating part of the story, saying "I'm sorry about your son." Continuing with Dina and Ellie, it's Day Two in Seattle and Dina is trying to figure out a route to get to the W.L.F. occupied hospital, as she's been listening to the Wolves communicate through the radio they were able to get their hands on. That's not really Ellie's strength, so she's spending her time playing the guitar in the empty theatre where they've found shelter. Ellie starts to sing 'Future Days' by Pearl Jam with the line, "If I ever were to lose you." While that may not mean much to those who just watch the show, video game fans know how important that song is to characters Ellie and Joel. It's a moment we see in the game where Joel is really trying to express his love for Ellie, that he loves her like a daughter. But back to Dina and Ellie's journey, Dina found a gap in the W.L.F. patrol setup, identifying a building they can travel through, but the concern is that the Wolves don't have eyes on it because it's filled with infected, making it a "reckless" move, as Dina describes. But one they take anyways. Dina also highlights that the Wolves are talking freely through the radio, which makes her think the Scars are like the Amish, choosing to live without technology, allowing the W.L.F. to communicate knowing their enemies aren't listening. As they continue to try to get to the hospital, they see dead bodies, which makes Ellie question why Dina is coming along, especially because she's pregnant. But Dina responds by telling Ellie about the first time she killed someone. When Dina was little she lived with her family in a cabin in a forest, north of Santa Fe, and she would beg her mom to let her play outside. One day when Dina was eight, she went outside alone, defying her mom's wishes. When she got back to the cabin there was a raider there and she could hear her family screaming. She was too late to save her family, but she shot the raider. Dina tells Ellie that if he had gotten away, she would have hunted that raider down forever. That's enough for Ellie to agree to continue the journey as a pair. She knows Dina understands her need to find Abby. As Ellie and Dina arrive at the building Dina scouted, they come in contact with the "smart" infected, who strategize and hide. Both Ellie and Dina are attacked by the infected stalkers and they're saved by Jesse (Young Mazino). Jesse and Tommy (Gabriel Luna) snuck out of Jackson to try to find Ellie and Dina, and Jesse was able to track them to the theatre, where he saw Dina's map. Jesse, Ellie and Dina get to a park, an area the Wolves won't go. But they see Scars murdering a W.L.F. member, hanging him and cutting open his torso, just like the bodies they saw earlier in their journey. But then an arrow hits Dina, with Ellie telling Jesse to get Dina back to the theatre. Instead of following Jesse and Dina, Ellie sees the hospital and takes her chance. She finds Nora (Tati Gabrielle) and tries to get her to reveal where Abby is, by holding her at gunpoint, but it doesn't work. Nora says she's sorry Ellie saw Joel die, but "the little bitch got what he deserved," and Nora tries to flee. As they both run down the hallway, Nora jumps into an elevator shaft, which leads to the dreaded B2 basement level Hanrahan and Elise were talking about at the beginning of the episode. Ellie climbs down to B2 and sees the walls and floor full of Cordyceps, with spores in the air, and one person stuck to a wall with Cordyceps. The badge on his shirt says, "L. Park," it's Leon, Elise's son, stuck in pain between life and death. As Ellie continues exploring the basement, she hears Nora coughing and wheezing, who says now they're both infected by breathing in the spores. But Nora then realizes that Ellie is "the immune girl." Ellie once again asks where Abby is, Nora won't tell her, but says Joel killed everyone in the Fireflies hospital, including the only person who could develop a cure, Abby's father. "Joel shot him in the head. That's what he did," Nora says. Ellie puts away her gun, kneels down and again, asks where Abby is, but Nora still refuses to tell her. Ellie then picks up a metal pipe she sees on the ground and asks one more time, before beating Nora. To end the episode, we cut to the past with Ellie asleep in her bed, being woken up by Joel saying, "Hey, kiddo."

'The Last of Us' Season 2, Episode 3 recap: Ellie wants 'justice,' introduction to the Seraphites
After last week's bombshell episode of The Last of Us, the story continues with all eyes on Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey, to see what she does next. What is Ellie's life like with Joel (Pedro Pascal)? With Sunday's episode taking us back to Jackson, a significant part of Season 2, Episode 3 involves reflection on the events of Episode 2, not just what happened with Joel and Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), but the attack on Jackson. Everyone's a little bit broken and has to pick up the pieces. Where to watch The Last of Us: Crave in Canada, HBO and Max in the Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Gabriel Luna, Rutina Wesley, Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Young Mazino, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord, Danny Ramirez, Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey WrightNumber of episodes: 7 We're still trying to get over Joel's death at the end of Episode 2, and now the big question is how Ellie, Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and everyone else in Jackson handles loss. The story begins with Tommy facing his dead brother's body, and it's completely heartbreaking. "Give Sarah my love," Tommy says with tears in his eyes. Referencing Joel's dead daughter. Then the timeline moves forward three months, with the people of Jackson working to expand and rebuild the community. After being treated for her wounds from the attack, a doctor is set to clear her to leave the hospital, but she has to talk to Gail (Catherine O'Hara) first. Gail asks Ellie about the New Year's Eve dance and if that argument was the last time she spoke to Joel. Ellie confirms and wishes she had talked to him later that night, but knows that moment doesn't define their entire relationship. Then Gail reveals to Ellie that in her last conversation Joel, he said he wronged Ellie and that he "saved her." Ellie has no idea what he meant and says she doesn't feel wronged, but wishes she could have let him off the hook for whatever he did, and she should Let herself off the hook. Gail and Ellie communicate with a lot of sarcastic remarks, making these two characters a great pair to see together. They know how to poke each other, while still having an honest conversation. Leaving the hospital Ellie returns to the home she shared with Joel, slowly walking through the hallways to each room. In his bedroom she sees a red box. Inside there's Joel's broken watch and his gun, which she takes. But just as Ellie sees Joel's closet, she starts to get particularly emotional touching his clothes. Dina (Isabela Merced) comes into the home, looking for Ellie with some cookies, and a piece of information that will make Ellie angry. Dina says that while in the hospital she told Ellie she didn't learn anything useful the day Joel died, but Dina knows the names of their attackers and where they're from. "You cost us time. You let them get away," Ellie says. Referencing the WLF patches, Dina determined they're the Washington Liberation Front from Seattle. But while Ellie is ready to go after Abby and her crew, Tommy isn't on board, and wants to take it to Maria (Rutina Wesley) in a proper council meeting to allow everyone in the community to be heard. Trying to gather support, Jesse (Young Mazino) won't confirm that he'll be on Ellie's side at the meeting, but advises Ellie to write down her thoughts and read them in front of the council and the community, to not let her anger get in the way. Unfortunately, there isn't agreement in the community that they should use their resources, and possibly lose more loved ones, to take action after Joel's murder. But Seth (Robert John Burke) speaks up saying their enemies will come back if they don't do anything. "It's not about revenge. ... I want justice," Ellie says at the meeting. "Because it's either that or we do nothing." "I'll accept whatever the council decides, but I am asking you, please, do what it takes to see that justice is done. ... I am asking you, please, do it for us." The council ultimately votes not to send anyone to Seattle. After the meeting, Tommy has a conversation with Gail about his concerns related to Ellie's anger, and they both didn't believe her speech. Tommy doesn't want Ellie to come up with explanations for "lashing out," like Joel did, but Gail says that nurture can only do so much. "I think they were walking side by side from the very start," Gail says. Of course, Ellie isn't taking no for an answer, and while her plans are a bit sloppy, Dina come forward with more specifics, like thinking about medical supplies they'll need, and a map. In an interesting turn of events, in the middle of the night Seth helps Ellie and Dino get Shimmer so they can head to Seattle, but just outside of Jackson she sees where Joel's body has buried, with a tombstone that read "Beloved brother and father." It's one of the most beautiful scenes, with the warmth of the sunlight, and the perfect visual to show that she's ready to start her journey, as she breathes deeply putting her hand on where Joel's body is buried. Dina and Ellie keep travelling and Ellie shares a story about her second kill, "the first one's too fucked up," she says, and they end up stopping in a tent as rain starts pouring down. It's then that they talk about their kiss on New Year's Eve, with Dina asking Ellie to rate her kissing on a scale of one to 10. Ellie gives her a six, which Dina says she doesn't believe, before revealing that she went back to her ex Jesse, even though she can see a sadness in him. Getting closer to Seattle Ellie and Dina inspect a group of dead bodies, including children. They're the religious cult the Seraphites, or Scars, introduced earlier in the episode. They follow a belief system by a woman called the Prophet, who has been dead for years, but instructed the group to live off the land, without technology. Meanwhile Manny (Danny Ramirez), in the Space Needle, communicates to another WLF soldier through a radio while watching over the city, as we see the final images of military vehicles and an army of soldiers on the streets of Seattle.

One Abby is trying to stop the other from going into a room where "his brains are on the floor." Then she wakes up in the lodge outside of Jackson, occupied her team members who are all realizing that Jackson is a fully developed city, armed to take town intruders. It's clear that Abby is more so operating from revenge versus strategy to kill Joel, as she heads out into the snow alone. But Owen (Spencer Lord) has his own plan to get Abby to abandon her mission, thinking they'll be the ones killed instead of Joel if they don't. In Jackson, Jesse (Young Mazino) wakes up Ellie for the 8:00 a.m. patrol, where he finds out that Ellie kissed his ex-girlfriend Dina (Isabela Merced). But he doesn't seem too broken up about it. Meanwhile the council has put the town alert. A pile of dead infected were found frozen, but then 30 alive ones appeared underneath the corpses. Now the problem is they don't know how many infected are hiding underneath the snow. Jesse also points out that people are particularly spooked after Ellie's story about the more cunning infected she came face-to-face with in the last episode. That prompts Ellie to say that she's going to go on her patrol with Joel instead, while also admitting to Jesse that her relationship with Joel has been "complicated," but nothing's ever going to change the foundation of their relationship. Meanwhile, Tommy (Gabriel Luna) is talking to everyone in Jackson about what to do to stay safe, with the youngest and oldest members of the community instructed to stay in their homes in the event of an attack, while others will head to rooftops, armed, to protect the community if there's a breach. As a snowstorm hits the area, Tommy calls for the patrol, Jesse and Ellie, to return to Jackson. Jesse thinks they're too far out to get back, but he know a place to stay during the storm. It's the building Eugene used for his weed farm, knowing Maria (Rutina Wesley) wouldn't approve. Meanwhile Abby is having a rough time out alone, being attacked by infected that have crawled out from underneath the snow. If you missed those powerful, thrilling scenes of infected attacks from Season 1, this is the moment you've been waiting for. But who comes to save Abby? Joel, who brings her to where Dina was waiting for him. In order to escape the infected, Abby suggests they go to the lodge where her friends are. Back in Jackson, Tommy finds out Joel and Dina aren't responding to their communications, and he's starting to panic. And when Ellie and Jesse find out that Dina and Joel haven't checked in, Ellie quickly sets off to try to find them. It's at this point that the infected have made their way to Jackson, with the community having to spring into action to fight them off. Travelling to the lodge, Joel, Dina and Abby just seeing flames emerging from Jackson, and while Joel wants to turn back, they're too far away. When Joel, Dina and Abby arrive at the lodge, Joel tells everyone they're leaving in three minutes to help the people in Jackson, but of course, Abby has another plan. When Abby reveals that he's Joel, and Dina notices W.L.F. wolf patches on the former Fireflies gear, Dina is sedated into a drug-induced sleep. Abby finally has her confrontation with Joel, telling him she's giving him one chance to tell the truth about the last place he saw the Fireflies. Abby says if he tells the truth, she'll let Dina live. Joel says the last place he saw the Fireflies was in Salt Lake, but adds that he saved her life. "What life?" Abby says in response, shooting him in the leg as he screams in pain. Then she goes on to interrogate him about how many people he killed that day, 18 soldiers and one unarmed doctor he shot in the head, her father. "The nurses said you barely even looked at him when you pulled the trigger," Abby says. "But I looked at him. I saw him. I was 19." Abby goes on to say that they were trained not to kill people who can't defend themselves, which is Joel at the moment. But assures him that she will kill him, as she starts crying. Remember, Abby wanted to kill Joel slowly, and she meant it. She starts hitting him repeatedly with a golf club, then just punching him with her fist. Ellie does end up finding Joel and Dina in the lodge, but by the time she gets there Joel is covered in blood and can barely move. While Ellie is being restrained, Abby stabs Joel, with a broken golf club sticking out of his neck. "I'm going to kill you. You're going to die. You're all going to f—king die," Ellie says sobbing. When Abby and her friends leave, Ellie crawls towards Joel's body, pulling the golf club out of his neck. Crying as she rests her head on his. The final image of the episode is Jesse, Dina and Ellie riding back to Jackson, dragging Joel's wrapped up body behind them.
