'The Last Of Us' Season 2 Just Changed The Game’s Most Gut-Wrenching Twist

“When we kill him, we kill him slowly.”
Spoilers ahead for “The Last of Us” Season 2, Episode 1, “Future Days.”
After a two-year wait, “The Last of Us” has finally returned to HBO for the second season of its post-apocalyptic drama, which adapts the critically acclaimed video game, “The Last of Us Part II.” But if you’re a fan of the franchise, you may have noticed something strange: Season 2’s debut episode just casually spoiled one of the game’s biggest twists.
Let’s back up for a second because it’s been a while since we’ve spent any time with Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey). Season 1 and the original video game both ended on the same brutal twist: After an epic cross-country journey, Joel brings Ellie to a medical facility in the remains of Salt Lake City. There, they find a resistance group called the Fireflies, who are working on a cure for the zombie virus that’s decimated the world. They believe that Ellie, who has a rare immunity to the virus, may be the key to developing that cure.
Unfortunately, it turns out that this requires removing a piece of Ellie’s zombie-immune brain — which would kill her in the process. Joel, who lost his own daughter during the initial zombie outbreak and has grown protective of Ellie, decides to save her instead, murdering multiple Firefly doctors as he makes his escape.
Ellie is already unconscious on the operating room table when all of this happens, so she has no memory of her violent rescue. When she wakes up hours later, Joel lies to her, claiming the Fireflies couldn’t come up with a cure at all. In Season 1’s final moment, Ellie turns to Joel and says, “Swear to me that everything you said about the Fireflies is true.” He replies, “I swear.”
