“The Last of Us” is already approaching the last third of the first season, which is why the HBO series is now increasing in excitement. After Episode 6 was a small breather for long stretches, a big shock awaited us in the last scene.

While searching for the Fireflies, Ellie and Joel encounter thieves who are after their horse. In the fight, Joel manages to kill the enemies, but then collapses himself. One of the attackers rammed a knife into Joel’s stomach!

Suddenly Ellie is on her own, in front of her lies the unconscious Joel – or even the dead Joel? At this point we can reassure you: Joel is alive, but his condition is actually critical. In The Last of Us game, after this attack, Ellie must rescue Joel, search for food, and find a way to treat Joel’s injury.

Since we already know that Episode 7 of “The Last of Us” contains an extensive flashback to Ellie’s time with Riley, the Joel story arc will probably not continue until Episode 8. Then Ellie has to deal with new enemies – and fans can experience Troy Baker, the Joel from the video game, in his new series role.
