“The Last of Us” Season 2: What happened in the nail-biter finale

“The Last of Us” has concluded its emotional second season, leaving viewers with a major cliffhanger.

“The Last of Us” concluded its emotional second season with a major cliffhanger. In Sunday’s action-packed Season 2 finale, a deadly reunion between Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) culminated in Seattle and resulted in the shocking death of Jesse (Young Mazino) during a confrontation inside the theater. Here’s how it played out: After a tense exchange with Jesse, he and Ellie split up. Ellie went to find a boat to get herself to the aquarium, where she believed Abby was hiding. Jesse, meanwhile, trucked on to find Tommy (Gabriel Luna), which was their original mission. Ellie eventually made it to the aquarium – after a stressful close encounter with some Seraphites – and found Abby’s friends Owen (Spencer Lord) and Mel (Ariela Barer), both of whom were there when Abby killed Joel (Pedro Pascal) earlier this season. When they refused to tell Ellie where Abby was, Ellie shot Owen through the neck, grazing Mel in the process. What she hadn’t known until Mel was injured was that Mel was pregnant. With her last breaths, Mel begged Ellie to cut out her baby, but, clearly affected by the reality of Dina’s (Isabela Merced) ongoing pregnancy, Ellie could not do it. Jesse and Tommy eventually found Ellie crying over Mel’s body. Back at the theater, Ellie, Tommy and Jesse were plotting their route home and Tommy tried to comfort Ellie about killing Mel and Owen to no avail. Ellie was upset that Abby got to live.
