The first episode of HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us Part II alters the source material's narrative structure. Primarily set in the Jackson settlement with characters Joel and Ellie, it introduces flashbacks from later in the story while omitting a crucial moment that occurs on Joel's porch. This has sparked debate among fans about whether the omission is permanent or will be addressed later in the season. Showrunner Craig Mazin's choices raise questions about how upcoming episodes will handle significant story elements.
At the end of the first episode of the second season, Joel sits on his back porch and plays guitar, but Ellie walks past without their significant conversation from the game.
Fans express concern that one of the most important scenes may be skipped altogether, while others speculate it might be included later in the season.
