The Last of Us fans convinced major season 2 twist has already been spoiled
Has the TV show hidden a huge clue in plain sight?
Warning: spoilers ahead for The Last of Us season 2 episode 1.
The Last of Us season 2 may have only just begun but fans are convinced they’ve already worked out a major twist.
The first new episode of the wildly popular zombie show opens five years after the events of the season 1 finale, with Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Joel (Pedro Pascal) living in the remote (but infection-free) mountain town of Jackson.
Sadly, while Joel might be safe from zombie bites, he’s facing a far worse danger: an angry teenager and Ellie is barely talking to him as the episode begins.
Things are only made worse when, at the end of the episode, Joel knocks out a homophobic man for abusing Ellie, prompting the embarrassed teenager to tell her dear old foster dad that she doesn’t need him to protect her.
However, it’s the end of the episode that really broke fan’s hearts.
As Ellie returns home, she sees Joel sitting on their house’s porch, strumming on her previously broken guitar. Unlike in the game, though – where Ellie joins Joel for an important conversation – she walks by, seemingly unwilling to forgive Joel for whatever it is he’s done.
