With the end of The Last of Us season 2 comes the end of the road for various characters – and the beginning of a new chapter for others.
Thankfully, The Last of Us has been renewed for season 3, so we know the story will continue, but we've been left on a gigantic cliffhanger.
The Last of Us ending explained: Is Ellie dead?
No, Ellie isn't dead, and her story will continue in future seasons of The Last of Us – unless the show takes a huge departure away from the game.
Ellie figures out that Abby is in the aquarium and, after a fight with Jesse (Young Mazino), goes to find her alone, while he goes to meet with Tommy (Gabriel Luna).
But, after surviving a dangerous trip on a boat, Ellie washes up on shore and inadvertently falls right into the clutches of the Seraphites.
Undeterred, she arrives at the aquarium to take on Abby and encounters Owen (Spencer Lord) and Mel (Ariela Barer).
When they arrive back at the theatre, Ellie and Jesse make their peace – but they soon hear a disturbance and find that Abby has tracked them down.
Is Jesse dead?
Yes, Jesse is dead. When he and Ellie hear a disturbance in the theatre, he opens the door first – and Abby immediately shoots him dead.
Jesse's death is even more heartbreaking following his realisation that Dina is pregnant earlier in the episode. He reasons that he can't die, and tries his utmost to get Ellie, Tommy, Dina, and his unborn child out of Seattle.
What does Abby's flashback mean?
Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann previously opened up about wanting fans to feel some empathy for Abby – and how difficult that is in the show compared to in the game, where you play as Abby.
As a result, Abby was introduced a lot earlier in the show.
Mazin continued: "He said he felt like there was something about the mechanics of playing, and I agree, as a fan of the game and video games in general, where when you become someone you have an instant connection to them. And it can be very confusing to be someone and then also to do things that you wish the person wouldn't be doing.
"We had choices of when to bring people in and out, and so we thought it was important to situate Abby."
The Last of Us seasons 1 and 2 are available on Sky Atlantic and NOW with an Entertainment Membership.
