by

Spoilers for The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 3

Summary

  • Fans believe Dina’s outfit in The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 3 is a nod to Clementine from The Walking Dead.
  • New characters in Season 2, like therapist Gail, offer unique insights into Ellie’s behavior.
  • The Last of Us Season 2 includes various Easter eggs, keeping fans engaged. New episodes release weekly on HBO.

Following another emotionally draining installment of HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2, where a tormented Ellie embarks on a journey accompanied by her loyal companion Dina, it’s high time the show’s audience received some positive news to lighten their spirits before things become even bleaker. In Dina’s trek from Jackson to Seattle, escorting Ellie in pursuit of Abby who killed Joel, fans speculate that her outdoor wardrobe choice may be a subtle wink to Clementine’s appearance in The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series.

Fans of the video game “The Last of Us,” which is the basis for the second season on TV, have eagerly awaited its premiere, particularly curious about how creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann would handle Joel’s death and characterize Abby (played by Kaitlyn Dever), whose appearance in the show differs significantly from her game counterpart. So far, these changes haven’t been too extreme and have generally served the TV adaptation well.

New characters like Gail, Jackson’s only therapist, provide an intriguing perspective on some of the town’s residents, especially Ellie, who has a secretive relationship with Gail following her deceptive speech at the council meeting. Although details about Gail’s husband and ex-firefly Eugene are still scant, it seems there might be more to the story regarding his death and its connection to Joel.

Before the emotional turmoil of episode 4 sets in, viewers may have noticed an exciting Easter egg hidden in the latest episode of “The Last of Us.

Last of Us Fans Think Episode 3 Includes a Hidden Reference to The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series

In episode 3 of Season 2 of “The Last of Us,” fans notice that Dina, one of the main characters, wears a rainbow jacket reminiscent of Clementine’s from “The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series.” Some viewers speculate that this might be an intentional nod to a fan or staff member who enjoys the game and subtly incorporated it into the recent episode.

It’s unknown if this claim is accurate or not until someone from the series confirms it, but there’s definitely an exciting reference to a fantastic post-apocalyptic game in the works, featuring a well-known character. A fan on Twitter/X exclaimed, “I can’t wait to see Dina sporting Clementine’s style in Seattle!” Another expressed their excitement by saying, “Dina is going to wear Clementine’s jacket”, accompanied by numerous crying emojis. Yet another fan couldn’t help but laugh and say, “What a great reference!” at the idea of Dina wearing Clementine’s coat.

In The Last of Us Season 2, several Easter eggs have been spotted thus far. These include a live rendition of “Little Sadie” by Crooked Still at Jackson’s barn dance, Ellie using a bottle to distract a click in episode 2, Ellie’s hat from the science and history museum appearing on a dresser in her old room at Joel’s house, and numerous other subtle references.

The Last of Us Season 2 streams on Max, with new episodes dropping every Sunday.
