The Last of Us Season 2 has followed Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Merced) all the way from Jackson Hole to Seattle, where they intend to find and murder Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and her friends in retribution for how they tortured and killed Joel (Pedro Pascal). However, as the HBO show has hinted in recent weeks, Seattle comes with its own unique challenges. Besides being overrun, like the rest of the world, with Infected, the North Pacific city is also home to a violent civil war. Last week’s episode of The Last of Us even ends with our heroines watchings a heated battle erupting between the W.L.F. and Seraphites in the city streets.

So what’s going to happen next to Ellie and Dina? Will they finally track down Abby? Will they choose a side in the war being waged between the “Scars” and the “Wolves”? When does the next episode of The Last of Us come out on HBO and MAX?!?

The Last of Us is an adaptation of the beloved video game series of the same name. The Last of Us Season 2 opens five years after the events of the first season. 19-year-old Ellie is on the outs with her adoptive father Joel, thanks in part to his decision to massacre the Fireflies in Salt Lake City to save her life in the Season 1 finale. Joel’s actions come back to haunt them when a quintet of survivors from Salt Lake City, led by Abby, come for revenge. Joel is brutally tortured and murdered in front of Ellie’s eyes. Now Ellie and her girlfriend Dina are on the hunt for vengeance. Will it be theirs?
