In the first episode of The Last of Us season 2, the character of Abby, played by actress Kaitlyn Dever, was introduced to the viewers. In the show, Abby is an ex-Firefly who was there when Joel shot up the hospital in Salt Lake City. Her dad was the doctor who was set to operate on Ellie and come up with the cure, but Joel gunned him down, causing her to swear revenge on him.

In episode 2 of the season, Abby is finally able to get revenge on Joel when she and her group track him down in Jackson. While on the lookout for him, she ends up bumping into him and Dina while being chased by a horde. When Joel helps Abby out, she realizes who he is and takes him to the cabin where she is held up, offering shelter. There, Dina is knocked out, and Abby begins torturing Joel.

She reveals why she is out to kill him and brutally beats him up to death. Just as she is doing that, Ellie discovers the cabin and goes in looking for Joel as well, and sees Abby deliver the final blow to him while her group holds him down. Now, in The Last of Us season 2 episode 3, fans will get to see Ellie's full reaction to Joel's death and exactly how that shapes her journey going forward.

In the preview, fans can already see Dina and Ellie preparing to go after Abby, as Dina knows who she is and where she is; not to mention, she also knows about the W.L.F. As Ellie and Dina prepare to leave Jackson in pursuit of revenge, it will certainly walk them down a path that they least expected to go on.
