The Last Of Us Season 2 Episode 3 Release Countdown

We don’t want you to miss the debut of the anticipated TLOU Season 2 Episode 3 in your region, so here’s the countdown timer to make things easier:

What Happened in the Previous TLOU Episode?

The events of The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 2 mirror those of Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 9, aka The Red Wedding. The pilot episode of TLOU Season 2 hinted at the tensions brewing in the peaceful town of Jackson, Wyoming, and the danger looming over Joel.

In the previous episode, Jackson is attacked by the horde of The Last of Us infected, including the Bloater, who breaches the town’s security and allows other zombies to enter the premises. Tommy and the other residents try to fight the Walking Dead army. Meanwhile, to prevent getting frozen in the snowstorm, Jesse and Ellie take shelter in a pot farm belonging to Eugene.

Jesse tells Ellie that Eugene was a Firefly member who was tired of massacring humans, so he left them. He also told him that Joel was the one to kill him. The episode then takes us to Abby and her crew. Leaving her allies behind, Abby heads toward Jackson and encounters several frozen infected who wake up suddenly and start chasing her. Joel arrives and saves her, with no idea of her desires.

Dina calls Joel by his name, and that’s when Abby makes a plan to capture him. She takes Joel and Dina to the lodge and doesn’t take long to show her true colors. Abby shoots Joel in the leg, and she reveals her identity and tells him that she lost her father. Abby then turns back and picks up a golf club; she beats Joel with it, and after that, unleashes several hard punches on him until he bleeds heavily.

Ellie arrives at the location and sneakily finds her way in after discovering Dina and Joel’s horses outside the lodge. Reaching there, she finds Joel lying on the floor, but before she can shoot any of them, they catch her. Then, Abby stabs Joel with a broken golf club, putting him to an eternal sleep. The group leaves the lodge without doing anything to Dina and Ellie. Jessie arrives to pick up Dina, Ellie, and Joel’s lifeless body.
