@nypost: It wasn’t the last of Joel. Pedro Pascal returns to “The Last of Us” in the promo for the sixth episode, airing this Sunday. Warning: Spoilers ahead! This comes after the second episode of Season 2 brutally murdered his character, Joel. It’s in line with what series co-creator Craig Mazin told The Post, as he said that even though Joel died, Joel and Ellie “spend quite a bit of time together in this season…more than people might think.” He’s not coming back as a zombie or a ghost — the episode will show flashbacks of his time with Ellie (Bella Ramsey) in between Seasons 1 and 2. Based on a popular video game of the same name, “The Last of Us” is set in a dystopian future where society has broken down, there are zombie-like creatures, and gruff smuggler Joel has formed a pseudo father/daughter relationship with teen girl Ellie. In the second episode of Season 2, Joel was killed by the new Season 2 character, Abby (Kaitlyn Dever). He had previously killed Abby’s father during his efforts to protect Ellie. So, Abby killed Joel as revenge. After Joel saved her life, she viciously beat him nearly to death with a golf club and then stabbed him in the neck while Ellie watched, crying. Ironically, since Abby slayed Joel as revenge for him killing her dad, her bloody action pushed Ellie into a similar revenge journey. Ellie has been searching for Abby, intending to kill her to avenge Joel. 📸: Liane Hentscher/HBO; Getty
