We thought that the glimpse of Joel (Pedro Pascal) we caught at the end of The Last of Us Season 2, episode 5, might mean we see more of him in episode 6 — and based on the trailer, that's exactly what's going to happen.

The teaser above shows Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Joel in Jackson, presumably filling in some of the five-year time gap that took place between Seasons 1 and 2. Things start off happily enough, but there are some shots further in that suggest we may be about to learn how Ellie found out what Joel did at the Firefly hospital.

This is going to be painful, isn't it?

The Last of Us Season 2 is now streaming on Max. New episodes air weekly on Sundays 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
