The latest episode of The Last of Us<\/em><\/a> had two major surprise returns as viewers were continuing to feel the loss of Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Spoilers from The Last of Us season 2, episode 5 below.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Sunday, May 11, episode opened with Hanrahan (Alanna Ubach<\/strong>) and other members of the Washington Liberation Front (WLF) making a major discovery about the cordyceps virus: it\u2019s evolving and has become airborne.<\/p>\n

Ellie (Bella Ramsey<\/strong><\/a>) and Dina (Isabela Merced<\/strong>), meanwhile, are still on the hunt for Abby (Kaitlyn Dever<\/strong>). However, they\u2019ve made some progress. Come nightfall, the duo heads out to find the WLF where they are stationed at a Seattle hospital.<\/p>\n

Along the way, they come across an abandoned section of the city. Ellie and Dina quickly discover it\u2019s full of Infected \u2014 after revealing their love for each other.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Last of Us fans are collectively mourning after a major death in the latest episode. Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Last of Us season 2, episode 2, which aired Sunday, April 20, on HBO. During Sunday\u2019s episode of the hit horror drama, lead character Joel Miller, played by Pedro Pascal, was shockingly killed off [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

During the struggle with the Infected, Ellie seemingly gets bit again (it\u2019s unclear, but there were multiple on top of her at one point) and Dina is in danger. Eventually, muffled gunshots start to get closer with the Infected being picked off one by one. The mystery shooter is none other than Jesse<\/a> (Young Mazino<\/strong>), who made it to Seattle from Jackson and was quick to save the girls. (Reminder: Dina is pregnant<\/a> with Jesse\u2019s baby, but she and Ellie are in love.)<\/p>\n

The gunshots get the attention of WLF members, who are chasing the trio. However, when Ellie, Dina and Jesse enter the city\u2019s park, the WLF members refuse to enter. But more on that in a second.<\/p>\n

While hiding in the foliage, Jesse tells Ellie and Dina that he and Tommy (Gabriel Luna<\/strong>) followed them to Seattle. It\u2019s at that point, they realized the Seraphites have control of the park, which is why the WLF didn\u2019t enter. (The trio watches the Seraphites disembowel a WLF member.)<\/p>\n

Eventually, the Seraphites discover Ellie, Dina and Jesse. Dina gets shot in the leg with an arrow and Jesse carries her out of the park. Ellie, while trying to distract the Seraphites, arrives at the Seattle hospital where she hopes to find Abby. Instead, she finds Nora (Tati Gabrielle<\/strong>), who was present for Joel\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Ellie chases Nora into an elevator shaft which drops them down to the hospital\u2019s basement level. This is where the airborne Cordyceps is located. While Nora is struggling to breathe now that she\u2019s Infected, Ellie is fine.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re her. The immune girl, you\u2019re real,\u201d Nora realizes. \u201cDon\u2019t you know what he did?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellie continues to ask for Abby\u2019s whereabouts while Nora relives Joel\u2019s hospital massacre from the show\u2019s season 1 finale.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe killed everyone in that hospital. Including the only f***ing person alive that can make a cure from you,\u201d Nora says. \u201cThat was Abby\u2019s father and Joel \u2026 Joel shot him in the head. That\u2019s what he did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellie, unbothered by what she\u2019s hearing, continues to ask for Abby. When she doesn\u2019t get answers, Ellie starts to beat Nora with a pipe \u2014 similar to how Abby beat Joel<\/a> with a golf club. Suddenly, the screen goes black.<\/p>\n
