The Last of Us S2 Ending Just Shook Everyone.

A question fans debated since 2013: Was Ellie the cure?

In Episode 6, Ellie finally confronts Joel…

“If you hadn’t stopped them… would they have made a cure?”

Joel looks her in the eye and says: “Yes.”

Yup. No hesitations. No dodging. Just pain.

This means Joel doomed humanity — and lied to Ellie.

He killed the one surgeon who knew how to make a vaccine.

And now, it’s too late. Everyone’s gone.

Season 3 is coming… but forgiveness might not.
