The Last of Us finale delivers gut-punches and mind-benders as Ellie’s revenge mission spirals into chaos.

With shocking twists and a cliffhanger that’ll haunt your dreams, this episode proves sometimes we’re our own worst enemies.

Wounds That Won’t Heal

Jesse pushes a massive Seraphite arrow through Dina’s leg while she refuses pain meds.

The bloody procedure reveals more than just physical damage—something’s up with Dina.

Back at the theater, Ellie stumbles in battered and broken after her hospital rampage, confessing how easily violence now comes to her.

Truth Bombs and Broken Trust

Ellie finally spills everything about Joel’s Salt Lake City massacre. Dina curls away, processing the awful truth behind their Seattle nightmare.

Her thirst for revenge evaporates like morning dew, replaced by desperate desire to escape this hellhole before it swallows them whole.

Tense Travels and Bitter Arguments

Day 3 brings Jesse and Ellie trudging toward Tommy’s meetup spot. The tension between them could cut glass.

Jesse’s detective work finding them seems miraculous—until Ellie accidentally confirms Dina’s pregnancy.

Now he’s juggling five lives instead of three, and boy is he pissed about it.

War Zones and Warning Signs

They dodge WLF patrols hunting Seraphites in the rain-soaked streets.

Meanwhile, Isaac prepares for all-out assault on the Seraphite village, worried sick about missing soldiers—especially Abby, his chosen successor.

The storm’s brewing both literally and figuratively as the city crackles with danger.

Books and Bitter Truths

At the abandoned bookstore, Ellie finds “There’s a Monster at the End of the Book” where Grover discovers he himself is the monster.

Talk about on-the-nose foreshadowing! Jesse shares his bittersweet love story, but Ellie’s not here for his community-first lecture.

Their argument explodes when she spots the whale building.

Solo Mission Gone Wrong

Ellie watches WLF boats head off to battle before stealing her own ride toward the aquarium.

A massive wave dumps her right into enemy territory.

After barely escaping Seraphite captivity, she finally reaches her target—but finds Owen and Mel instead of Abby.

Blood on Her Hands

Gun drawn, Ellie demands Abby’s location. When Owen lunges, she fires—hitting him and fatally wounding pregnant Mel.

The horrifying realization of what she’s done breaks something in Ellie, leaving her sobbing over the bodies until Tommy and Jesse find her.

The Final Showdown

Back at the theater, a shell-shocked Ellie thanks Jesse for coming back despite their fight. That tender moment shatters when they hear a struggle upstairs.

Jesse rushes through the door and takes a bullet to the head.

Abby’s found them. “I let you live, and you wasted it,” she snarls before firing at Ellie.

Full Circle Rewind

The screen cuts to black, then jumps back to Seattle Day 1—this time following Abby at the WLF compound.

The story’s not over; it’s just beginning again from another angle, leaving us hanging until next season.
