While we knew from the start that Joel would find redemption with Ellie, Episode 4 of TheLastOfUs shows the opposite might be true.

The first episode of HBO’s The Last of Us set the audience’s expectations by promising the series would tell the story of Joel’s redemption. It’s not random that we get to watch Joel as a hardworking father before the death of Sarah on the verge of the apocalypse. 20 years later, he’s a ruthless criminal with a lot of blood on his hands. However, once he’s tasked with protecting Ellie , Joel gets a second chance at becoming the man his daughter would like him to be.

Since the first episode, The Last of Us has been hinting at Ellie’s dark side. At first, we only know Ellie was being trained by FEDRA to become a soldier in one of their settlements. After being bitten and realizing she’s immune to the cordyceps, Ellie leaves her old life behind and goes with Joel in search of the Fireflies lab that can analyze her blood and maybe come up with a cure.

After their car gets attacked, Joel asks Ellie to hide while he handles the bandits. While Joel is a skilled combatant, there are just too many people trying to kill him at the same time, and after a while, he finds himself in a tough spot. Ellie saves Joel by shooting an assailant with a gun she hid in her backpack in Episode 3. The assailant survives the gunshot, forcing Joel to finish the job before he can escape with Ellie.

The Children of 'The Last of Us' While Joel and Ellie try to hide from the assailant’s friends, they get entangled in a bigger political dispute between the former FEDRA personnel who controlled the city and the revolting citizens that took over power. We learn that a former FEDRA agent named Henry is being hunted down. We also learn that Henry has been hiding with his younger brother, Sam .
