The premiere of The Last of Us Season 2 on HBO presents a tense therapy session featuring Joel and Gail, the therapist in Jackson. This session reveals deep-seated resentment from Gail towards Joel for killing her husband, Eugene, whom Joel was forced to shoot to stop the spread of the Cordyceps virus. The episode hints at Eugene's significance, as he will be introduced later, further expanding on the story. Meanwhile, it teases looming threats as Abby's group approaches Jackson, heightening the stakes for Joel and Ellie.
"You shot and killed my husband," Gail says. "You killed Eugene. And I resent you for it. No. Maybe a little more than that. I hate you for it."
Gail goes on to admit she knows Joel "had no choice" and she should forgive him, but she can't, because of "how" he killed Eugene.
Eugene is a character who is mentioned, but never seen in The Last of Us II, the hit video game that the HBO show is based on.
The Last of Us is being deliberately coy at this point about what exactly happened to Eugene and how Joel killed him.
