What happened to Joel and Ellie? Where are they? Is the Cordyceps brain infection still a problem? Catch up with everything from Season 2 of HBO's "The Last of Us."

After an exceptionally intense episode two, The Last of Us season two brought us a third episode ... council votes and rejects the proposal 8 to 3. But obviously, that doesn’t stop Ellie.

If you're still here, you'll know that Ellie and Dina's second day in Seattle culminated with Ellie confronting Nora (Tati Gabrielle), a WLF doctor who was present when Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) killed Joel (Pedro Pascal) in episode 2.

The Last of Us' fans are still reeling from Season 2's shocking character death but the new season is just reaching the halfway point.

Along with our preview of tonight's episode of HBO's The Last of Us Season 2, Isabela Merced offers some early insights on Season 3.

But as co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann revealed in the latest installment of HBO's The Last of Us Podcast, fans may not get to see the full scope of Isaac's WLF leadership, as the series is for now holding back on digging into the WLF's complicated and exceedingly violent war with the Seraphites. Mazin said:

I also really enjoyed “The Last of Us” on HBO, and named the first season (which covered the events of the first The Last of Us video game) the best video game adaptation ever. I should also adore “The Last of Us” season 2, considering it’s adapting what I believe to be even stronger source material.

The first we see of the Seraphites comes in Season 2, episode 3. We meet a group of people on a forest trail to Seattle (the same road Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Mercred) take later in the episode), with each member clad in hooded garments branded with the same strange symbol.
