The Last of Us: Season 2 Episode 3 Review

The following contains full spoilers for The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 3. Joel couldn’t be saved from the violent clutches of Abby, which is, ironically, a result of him saving Ellie back in Salt Lake City. Ellie is beyond saving now – this time from herself – as episode 3 of season 2 of The Last of Us focuses on her refusal to conform to the wants of her larger Jackson community and instead follow her broken heart. It’s a tale of selfishness versus selflessness – a conflict once warring inside Joel that now burns within Ellie. The final shot of the episode is a dominant display of power by the WLF.
