Spoilers for Season 2 of The Last Of Us

The most recent episode of HBO series The Last Of Us has sent fans spiraling with a shocking and major plot twist.

The incident in question was the death of male lead Joel, played masterfully by Pedro Pascal. The acting from the star and actress Bella Ramsey made for a particularly memorable episode.

Fans soon took to social media to express their grief over the episode, as one user gushed, “That was genuinely one of the best episodes of television ever. The writing, the dialogue, the action, the tension building up, the sense of danger hanging over the entirety of the episode, the action, and ofcourse the incredible acting performances. #TheLastOfUs.”

“ELLIE LAYING ON TOP OF JOELS BODY WAS THE MOST FOUL THING I’VE EVER SEEN WITH THE OG ELLIE ASHLEY JOHNSON SINGING IM CRASHING OUT,” passionately ranted another on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Some commented on the new dynamics within the series that were absent from the game, “i know we'll probably get a lot of little additions in season 2, but one of my favorites so far is getting to see joel and dina's relationship. pedro and isabela are so good together #thelastofus.”

“me laying in bed tomorrow morning before dragging myself to work all while mourning the loss of joel miller,” grieved another user.

“Tasked with escorting a teenager across a post-apocalyptic world, a dreaded smuggler joins hands with a young apprentice to fulfil the mission unscathed,” reads the synopsis of the series.
