The Last Of Us

Warning : This article contains spoilers forThe Last of Usseason 2 , episode 2 .

Although the trailers had teased an septic encroachment of Jackson , I did n’t anticipate the townsfolk to be so devastated inThe Last of Usseason 2 — but it ’s a great dramatic good turn for the story . The Last of Usseason 2 , installment 2 , “ Through the Valley , ” follow up on the premiere ’s cliffhanger tease by sending a swarm of septic directly to Jackson ’s gates . As the town defend back with rifle , flamethrower , and metal drum of flammable chemicals , it develop into a giantGame of Thrones - sized battle succession .

It wasan clever move by co - creator Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin to subvert the non - gaming hearing . The blast on Jackson make the sense that a major character would croak — peculiarly with the bloater bearing down on Tommy — and a major theatrical role did die , just nowhere near Jackson . Abby kept her promise to kill Joel lento , and it was atrocious to watch . But the infected encroachment of the Ithiel Town did n’t just throw off the audience off the track of Joel ’s death ; it ’s a groovy exploitation for the Jackson storyline , too .
