The Last of Us season two ending explained: What happens to Ellie and Abby?

After a turbulent seven episodes, The Last of Us season two finale left us with a huge cliffhanger.

With Ellie’s endless search for Abby in Seattle taking her on a harrowing journey, the season follows her as she confronts Joel’s killer.

However during her quest to avenge Joel and in search of justice, another character meets their fate.

Creators of The Last of Us warned audiences that the events of part two would span across more than just one season.

And with a third season of the show confirmed back in April, it’s clear they’ve got a lot to work with which is great news for loyal viewers of the show or those who loved the original game, however it does leave a lot of ambiguity.

So with another shocking death and no clear understanding on what’s to come next in season three, here’s The Last of Us season two ending explained and what we can assume to see next.

Just as she’s admitting to give up the hunt for revenge, Ellie hears Tommy being attacked and running to his rescue, Abby shoots Jesse in the head. Pleading for Abby to let Tommy go, Ellie tosses her gun to her and admits to killing Mel and Owen.

That’s when Abby points her gun at Ellie, saying “I let you live and you wasted it” before firing .
