The second episode of HBO’s The Last of Us has arrived, turning the events of the game upside down as Joel’s (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) journey truly begins. In last week’s episode, we got what essentially amounted to a prologue to the story, from Sarah’s (Nico Parker) death to Joel and Tess’ (Anna Torv) meeting Ellie for the first time. Now, the danger of this world is higher than ever, something that was very evident in the second episode.
Warning: The following contains spoilers for The Last of Us Episode 2. If you still need to catch up on HBO’s adaptation of the Naughty Dog game franchise, stop now and head over to HBO Max to watch first.
