In the final episode of Season 2 for “The Last of Us,” there were numerous unexpected turns and shocking developments, but none more dramatic than Abby (played by Kaitlyn Dever) showing up at Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) secret hideout in Seattle. For most of the series, Abby had been an enigma after only appearing in two episodes initially. Ellie was determined to find and exact revenge on Abby due to their past encounter. As the season concluded with a heart-pounding cliffhanger, Bella Ramsey discussed how Ellie’s relentless pursuit to kill Abby, regardless of the potential consequences, will guide her character into a darker path than she ever anticipated.
Speaking with Deadline, Ramsey admitted that Ellie’s trip to Seattle has significantly impacted the character, as the actor puts it, “Ellie is now realizing the price she’s paying for her hatred towards Abby.” The actor elaborated by saying, “Everyone around her is dying, and even her loved ones, due to her relentless desire to kill Abby. I believe she’s finally understanding how her actions are shaping her entire life.
In many scenes throughout Season 2 of “The Last of Us”, Ellie appears to be in denial about her intense desire to eliminate Abby. Initially, she claims that she’s solely seeking justice for their community. However, it becomes crystal clear in the season finale that Ellie’s motives for pursuing Abby are deeply personal and rooted in her own guilt over how her relationship with Joel concluded prior to his death. Even Ramsey acknowledges that Ellie’s desire to kill Abby is likely to persist for a long time.
In ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2, Every Path Has a Price
As a passionate cinephile, I recently got a glimpse into Bella Ramsey’s feelings about that heart-wrenching final scene of the season in an interview with Deadline. With Ellie held hostage by Abby, the challenge of portraying this tense moment was palpable, especially considering Tommy’s (Gabriel Luna) uncertain fate hung in the balance. Ramsey shared her thoughts on how Ellie’s thirst for vengeance might never subside, even amidst such a precarious situation.
Filming that scene where she rushes in, spots Abby with the gun pointed at her, was incredibly challenging for me emotionally. The rapid shift from intense grief over Tommy, to fear for my own safety, all while being overjoyed to see someone I’ve been eagerly anticipating, created a bizarre, chaotic feeling. I believe Ellie’s thirst for retribution and vengeance doesn’t dissipate easily; it lingers, perhaps forever.
The tagline for Season 2 of “The Last of Us,” “Every choice comes with a cost,” is especially relevant in light of the finale, as it becomes clear that Abby and Ellie’s decisions have led to the loss of their friends and loved ones. The actor portraying Ellie, Ramsey, has successfully captured her darker side by truly grasping the essence of the character. Although Ellie is not as tough or battle-hardened as her video game counterpart, she still harbors the same desire for revenge.
