The Last of Us: A turning point before season 2
So what can we say right now in terms of the story ahead? Well, let’s just say that when you see Ellie again, the character will have been greatly informed and changed following the events of season 1 … in particular when it comes to something that happened with David in episode 8.

Speaking in a new Emmy roundtable video per Spectrum News 1, Bella Ramsey notes that the decision to kill David shows the darkness within the character, and something that is going to hold true to her as we move forward:
“That moment is so pivotal, because there’s a line David says to her when she’s in the cage: ‘you have a violent heart.’ She resists that instantly, because she knows, deep down, that she does. And then this moment at the end of the episode, you see that violence. She does have a violent heart. David was right.”
There is a good chance that Ramsey could get an Emmy nomination for playing Ellie, which would be a bold step forward for their career and also something that lifts the profile of the show. Both are very much good things, no?
