Episode 6 of The Last of Us Season 2 focuses on revealing the backstory between the characters Joel and Ellie through flashbacks spanning five years. These flashbacks occur annually on Ellie's birthday and delve into their evolving relationship, including a key scene centered around the death of Eugene, a character referenced in the game but not shown. This episode diverges from the gameâs narrative to illustrate the emotional fallout of Joelâs actions, shedding light on Ellie's feelings towards Joel and her complicated history with loss.
"You shot and killed my husband. You killed Eugene. And I resent you for it," she told Joel in the Season 2 premiere.
The show also took some liberties with the source material that resulted in a bit of a different spin on how their relationship ultimately fractured.
