The Last of Us series is known for its unyielding tragedy, and fans are anticipating further heart-wrenching moments as the season progresses. Episode four showcases Ellie’s horse, Shimmer, escaping dire consequences seen in the game. In the original story, Shimmer meets a brutal end due to an explosive barricade, which has left fans anxious for the show's portrayal. However, in the series, Shimmer appears to be safe for now, suggesting potential narrative divergence from the game while fans remain hopeful about the character's fate amid future episodes.
Fans of the show are still reeling from the devastating events of this season's second episode, and even though there have been a few moments of joy since then, I'm sorry to tell new fans that it's going to get much, much worse.
Shimmer is Ellie's horse in The Last of Us, both in the show and in Part II of the game... However, in one of The Last of Us Part II's most shocking moments, the player is forced to accidentally trigger an explosive barricade.
As such, people watching the Last of Us show after playing the game have been bracing themselves for this week's episode, as this would have been the one in which Shimmer kicked the bucket in a more faithful retelling.
It's probably not gonna undo the collective trauma of watching Pedro Pascal get murdered via golf club, but hey, we take the wins where we can get them.
