The Last Of Us
Warning : This article contains despoiler forThe Last of Usseason 2 , episode 1 .
The Last of Usseason 2 implies that Joel killed Gail ’s married man Eugene after he got infect , but I have a dissimilar theory . There ’s a lot aboutThe Last of Us ’ season 2 premiere that ’s close to the game . Ellie and Dina ’s misstep to the supermarket is taken direct from the game , with a few small tweaks , and the New Year ’s Eve dance is practically a shot - for - nip recreation of that cutscene ( although it appears much later on as a flashback in the game ) . ButThe Last of Usseason 2 , episode 1also makes some changes to its source textile .
One of the biggest changes that the show urinate is introducing a brand - raw character : Gail , played by Catherine O’Hara . Gail is present to be Jackson ’s occupier psychotherapist , and Joel has been seeing her to work through his rift with Ellie . During their sitting in the season premiere , Gail reveals that she resents Joel — even hat him — for killing her husband , Eugene . She does n’t expose exactly what happened between Joel and Eugene ( and may not even know the truth ) , but I have a possibility based on what we bonk about Eugene from the game and what we ’ve seen in the laggard .
Who Gail’s Husband Eugene Is In The Last Of Us Part II
Eugene Is An Ex-Firefly With A Fondness For Weed
Eugene never actually appear on - screen inThe Last of Us Part II , but he gets name a great deal near the beginning of the plot . Eugene isa former Firefly who served with Tommy . After becoming disenchant with the movement , Tommy and Eugene left the Firefliesand ended up settling in Jackson . While they ’re out on patrol in the opening chapter of the secret plan , Ellie and Dina mention that Eugene latterly passed away from a stroke . They say thathe was really funny , but also really lonely , and he teach Dina how to rewire electronics .
The Last of Us season 2 adapts all the major part from the secret plan , but how do the live - action versions equate to their video plot vis-a-vis ?
After getting caught in a blizzard , Ellie and Dinahide out at a nearby library , where they get that Eugene had place up a hideout . They receive a letter from Eugene ’s family — who , in the game , he abandoned — solicit him not to unite the Fireflies . They also find a giant hemp farm in the basement , following up on Dina ’s claim thatEugene was a big - fourth dimension lapidator . In the TV show , Joel pays Gail for therapy session with stem - and - seed - occupy bag of weed and Gail brag that Eugene could raise much near weed .
Joel Killing Eugene After He Became Infected May Not Be What Really Happened
The Circumstances Around Eugene’s Death Seem Suspicious

“ Future Days ” never substantiate exactly why Joel obliterate Eugene , but when Gail wreak it up , she admits that he had to do it . This imply that Eugene got infected and Joel put him down . Gail seems to understand that kill Eugene was the right thing to do , but she disagree with the way Joel chose to do it . Joe Pantoliano has been cast to play EugeneinThe Last of Usseason 2 , soit ’s likely that the lineament and his account with Joel will be expanded on through flashbacks in next episode .
The Last of Usairs new episode on HBO and Max every Sunday .

Inthe laggard forThe Last of Usseason 2,Joel is shown aiming a rifle at the back of Pantoliano ’s head , and he does n’t bet septic — he just looks scared . So , I do n’t think Eugene was infected at all . I think Joel killed him for a entirely different intellect .
I Think Joel Murdered Eugene After He Found Out What Happened To The Fireflies
Did Joel Kill Eugene To Keep His Secret Hidden?
I do n’t call up Joel toss off Eugene because he get infected;I think he killed him because he found out his closed book . Eugene is an ex - Firefly , so I ’m thinking that , at some point in the TV show ’s five - year meter jump , he found out about what Joel did to the Fireflies . In the biz , when Ellie finds out Eugene was a Firefly , she wonders if he lie with about the massacre . In the TV show , I reckon Eugene found out , confronted Joel about it , and Joel killed him to keep his mystery , then recite everyone Eugene got infect to cover up the slaying .
In the plot , when Ellie finds out Eugene was a Firefly , she wonders if he knew about the massacre . In the TV show , I bet Eugene see out , confronted Joel about it , and Joel kill him to keep his arcanum , then told everyone Eugene got infect to get across up the murder .
Perhaps Gail resent the means Joel chose to kill Eugene because he had to toss off him really gruesomely . If he took out Eugene with a fresh shot , then everyone would be able-bodied to see that he did n’t have any bitemarks and call foul play . Butif he left a few yawn gunfire wounds in Eugene ’s body , he could tell them that the bitemark was buried somewhere in the viscera . Whatever happened , this has place up an intriguing mystery story forThe Last of Usseason 2 to build up on over the next few weeks .
