![]() So much of the first season was about Joel bringing Ellie to the Fireflies. (The nurses in that OR could have a story to tell.) What happens when news of Marlene’s murder and Ellie’s kidnapping gets back to the rest of the organization? Will they send people after Joel and Ellie? He didn’t kill all the Fireflies, and one has to presume that Marlene (Merle Dandridge) made her plans with Ellie clear to someone who wasn’t in that hospital, even if they’ve lost the surgeon tasked with saving mankind. What will the Fireflies do after Joel’s decision at the end of the first season? Can he keep his story straight with them, or will he reveal the truth about what he did to save Ellie while possibly dooming humanity? ![]() So how will that affect the immediate action back at the settlement?

He isn’t having it, killing dozens of soldiers, the doctor operating on Ellie, and even someone he once called an ally. The Fireflies plan to remove part of her brain, replicate the way it responds to Cordyceps, and mass-produce it. In “Look for the Light,” Joel discovers that the plan to save humanity includes the death of Ellie. In order to avoid potential spoilers for people who haven’t played the stunning 2020 sequel, we’re dividing the questions we have after “Look For the Light” into two parts: five questions based purely on the show, and then five that incorporate knowledge of what happens in the second game. But maybe not that much of an advantage the show became a hit by appealing to non-gamers as well, and a second season will need to balance the expectations of both sets of viewers. Unlike most between-season conjecture, though, gamers who have played The Last of Us, Part 2 have an advantage when it comes to speculating about what’s next for Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey). ![]() With the first season of HBO’s The Last of Us coming to its harrowing conclusion, fans can now begin the long game of theorizing about season two. ![]()
