The next morning time , Maria ram a lackluster apology out of Seth , in which he blamed his dogmatism on his intoxication , but Ellie refused to accept it . These two scenes are taken almost direct from the picture plot , but“The Path ” preface a match of new Seth second that were n’t in the plot — and made him a much more likable reference .

In the biz , Seth is never learn again after his half - hearted apology . But in the goggle box show , he gives an impassioned speech about how Joel deserves justice ( even though Joel had physically attacked him ) , and hehelps Ellie and Dina depart town to go to Seattle . He even gets a hearty handshake out of Ellie , who , unlike in the game , reluctantly warms to him .
