In the premiere of HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2, there’s a notable change from the game’s tale about Eugene, who is Gail’s husband. Unlike in the game where he passes away naturally, the series implies that Joel was responsible for his death, offering an unexpected twist to the storyline that could shape the rest of the plot. This disclosure takes place during a time leap, as Joel and Ellie settle into their life in Wyoming.
Here’s all you need to know.
Who Is Eugene and who plays him in The Last of Us Season 2?
In the world of The Last of Us Season 2, I step into the shoes of Eugene, wonderfully brought to life by Joey Pantoliano. During a captivating flashback, the audience gets a glimpse into my past interactions with Joel, skillfully portrayed by Pedro Pascal.
Was Eugene in The Last of Us Season 1?
Eugene didn’t make an appearance during Season 1, but he first emerged as a character from ‘The Last of Us Part II’ video game. Within the game, Eugene was initially a Firefly associate who collaborated with Tommy. He is married to a woman named Claire and meets his end due to a stroke.
Why did Joel kill Gail’s husband, Eugene in The Last of Us?
In the opening episode of Season 2, Gail (played by Catherine O’Hara) voiced her anger towards Joel, saying, “You were the one who took my husband’s life. You also took Eugene’s. And I hold a deep-seated grudge against you for it.” However, she doesn’t disclose the reasons behind Joel’s actions in killing him.
As per Gail’s statement, this is her first birthday without Eugene in forty-one years, implying that he has likely passed away quite recently. In the initial season, it was evident that Joel takes swift action to safeguard Ellie, going as far as killing an entire Firefly unit by the finale.
Eugene was part of Jackson’s team known as Firefly, and it seems his death could be related to this storyline. Fellow Firefly members such as Abby (played by Kaitlyn Dever) are on the trail of Joel, seeking retribution for Marlene’s and others’ deaths. It’s possible that Joel might have been involved in Eugene’s death due to their ongoing dispute.
