Secrets Revealed: Last of Us Season 2 Will Show the Iconic Porch Scene After All

BBG News

heads up: The following article reveals plot points from the second episode of The Last of Us season 2 and the video game, The Last of Us Part II. Read at your own risk if you haven’t finished these yet!

It appears that the season premiere of “The Last of Us” skipped over Joel and Ellie’s famous porch scene from the video game, but it seems we might get to see it in a later episode. While the first episode focused mostly on new material, the second episode, titled “Through the Valley,” feels more like the beginning of “The Last of Us Part II”. The moment when Jesse arrives to take Ellie out for patrol and they discuss the events of the previous night is a direct reference from the game.

In contrast to the video game, the TV series provides a glimpse into the events leading up to New Year’s Eve. At a raucous party on that very night, Dina shared a passionate kiss with Ellie, an act that triggered Seth’s offensive use of a homophobic slur. This provoked Joel, who retaliated physically against Seth, causing Ellie to publicly rebuke him in front of the entire gathering. In the game, this pivotal moment is only revealed later as a flashback sequence. The first episode seemed to brush over this crucial incident, but hints in the second suggest that we’ll eventually return to that fateful night as a flashback. As a movie critic, I can’t help but feel that the series is saving one of its most significant moments for a later reveal.

The Last Of Us Season 2 Episode 2 Hints Joel & Ellie Had Their Porch Conversation After All

The Last Of Us TV Show Isn’t Skipping The Game’s Most Beautiful Scene

In the game’s most stunning moment, a poignant flashback unfolds at the climax. It shows that following Ellie’s heated argument with Joel at the party, she had a conversation with him on his porch instead. She expresses her anger towards him for taking away the significance of her life, but Joel responds by stating he would make the same choices again. This revelation underscores just how much she means to him. However, Ellie remains uncertain about forgiving him, yet expresses a desire to give it a try.

In the season 2 opener, it appeared as if Ellie was heading towards Joel on his porch for a significant conversation. However, she abruptly left towards her garage without uttering a single word to him. This led viewers to think that the iconic porch scene might be skipped over. But at the start of episode 2, Ellie requests to accompany Joel on patrol and mentions they’ve reconciled. This implies that their conversation on the porch occurred, just not in the way initially shown; instead, it will likely be presented as a flashback in a later episode.

When Could The Last Of Us Reveal This Flashback?

The Game Saves It Until The Very End

In the game “The Last of Us,” the porch scene doesn’t make an appearance until the very end. However, the TV show has rearranged the timeline several times, so fans might wonder when this flashback will be shown. Given that the TV series is planned to run for four seasons, it’s unlikely they’ll wait until season 4 to present this scene. The game placed this scene at the end for a significant reason: it provides a fresh perspective on the entire story. When “The Last of Us” eventually reveals this scene, it will be emotional to watch Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey portray it.
