So, Ellie left the place and continued her journey before finding out that the WLF had decimated the entire village. Ellie finally reached the aquarium and started looking for Abby.

They finally arrived at the theater where Dina was residing. Shortly after that, Tommy asked if Ellie was okay with going back to Jackson. To which, she said that she didn’t have a choice. Ellie thanked Jesse for coming back for her and not leaving her in Seattle.

However, this sweet moment is cut short when they hear gunshots coming from the other part of the theater, and as soon as Jesse opens the door to that part, he is killed by a bullet. Ellie manages to hide, but a female voice tells her to come out or else, she’ll kill Tommy too.
As soon as Ellie comes out, it is revealed that Abby has found them, and she recognizes Ellie. She said that she let her live the day she killed Joel, and that was a big mistake. The screen goes black as soon as Abby pulls the trigger. A few moments later, Abby is seen resting on the couch when Manny comes and tells her that Isaac wants to see her.
