Tonight's TheLastOfUs saw a major death impact our survivors
The irony, of course, is that Tess is the one who should feel hopeless coming out of that fight. As we will find out later, she has been infected, and the only good option left is to blow herself to kingdom come and hope to take enough zombies with her to keep Joel and Ellie safe for now. And this, in turn, gives Joel yet another reason to feel like existence has nothing for him anymore but loss and despair.
Before Tess goes out in a blaze of glory, though, we first get to spend a concentrated amount of time with them as a trio. Anna Torv’s performance is so vivid, and so well-matched to whatis doing — even if Tess is less guarded than Joel — that as someone who knew nothing of the game, I let myself believe that the show would be about the two of them acting as Ellie’s protectors.
But perhaps the most important thing the episode does is to make sure we see Ellie as a person first, rather than a walking vaccine incubator. As the three heroes make their way across Boston, we get to know her far better than there was time for in the premiere. She very much acts like a kid her age would, even in the before times.
