The Last of Us Season 2 | EPISODE 4 PREVIEW TRAILER | Max

The Last of Us season 2 episode 2's ending stays with the viewer long after its credits start rolling, but the Bloater action sequence from the same episode is equally forgettable for one reason. Staying true to its source material, The Last of Us season 2's episode 2 delivers one of the most tragic arcs in the series, where Joel is brutally murdered by Abby. The fact that Ellie helplessly watches him die without being able to do anything to save him makes the entire death sequence even more heartbreaking.

Apart from the final shot, though, The Last of Us season 2's episode 2 has several other intriguing plot developments and white-knuckling scenes. For instance, the entire sequence where an entire human settlement fights against an army of the infected leaves one on edge, perfectly capturing the unforgiving nature of the world the show's characters live in. Unfortunately, the action sequence is slightly ruined by a showdown between Tommy and a Bloater, preventing the episode from reaching its full potential.
