Last Of Us Episode 3 Kicks Off A Quest For Revenge

Since HBO’s The Last of Us premiered two years ago, fans of the series have been nervously awaiting a particular harrowing scene from The Last of Us Part 2, which was released five years ago. As viewers watched last night’s episode, everything played out very similarly to the game–with minor changes to the overall narrative–and the show will never be the same again. Episode 3 ignites a path of revenge.

Spoiler warning: If you haven’t seen the episode or played the game, last chance before we dive in.

On last week’s episode, we learned that there was another fringe group, similar to the Fireflies from Season 1, that wanted to find Joel (Pedro Pascal) and kill him. Led by a young woman named Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), the group tries to infiltrate the Jackson settlement, but when a plan goes awry, Abby finds herself being saved by Joel. She leads him and Dina (Isabela Merced) to the group’s holed-up lair. There, Joel is executed, but not before Abby explains why he had to suffer. All the while, Ellie (Bella Ramsey) has to watch the finishing blow.

The Episode 3 teaser has Ellie recuperating from her own injuries she received, waking up in a hospital, and mourning her adoptive father and friend. We also see the beginnings of Ellie and Dina’s plan to find the WLF and Abby and hunt them down.

The events that follow Ellie on her journey take up most of the story in Part 2, and the consequences she’ll inevitably face for seeking it out. With a Season 3 confirmed, we know that journey will continue after this season.

HBO’s The Last of Us airs Sunday at 9PM ET, on HBO and Max.
