Season 1 comes to a close with heartbreak, giraffes, and one very morally complicated murder spree. In the finale of The Last of Us, we explore Ellie’s origin story, Joel’s unflinching love, and the impossible choice that changes everything.

We break down the haunting cold open featuring Ellie’s birth, the long-awaited arrival in Salt Lake City, and the bittersweet beauty of the giraffe scene. Then it’s off to the hospital, where Joel makes a devastating decision in the name of love, and lies about it in the name of peace.

We discuss the ethics of Joel’s rampage, whether the Fireflies ever gave Ellie a choice, and why this ending still sparks fierce debate a decade after the game’s release. Plus, we unpack the themes of autonomy, sacrifice, and what it really means to “save the world.”
