Abstract

The article focuses on the Season 2 finale of the television series *The Last of Us*, highlighting the ongoing cycle of revenge between the characters Abby and Ellie. The finale depicts a violent confrontation in Seattle, culminating in a cliffhanger that shifts the narrative perspective to Abby, mirroring a major plot development from *The Last of Us Part II* video game. The showrunners intend to explore Abby's point of view in the upcoming season, aiming to deepen audience empathy for multiple characters. Due to the story's complexity, the creators anticipate the narrative will extend beyond three seasons, with the third season not resolving all plotlines.
