Ellie tattle " Take on Me " to Dina is directly from the secret plan .
There are evidently monumental spoilers before forThe Last of UsSeason 2andThe Last of Us Part IIvideo game !
1.First, Dina (Isabela Merced) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) searching for supplies in the pharmacy is something directly from the game. While playingThe Last of Us Part II, gamers search through rooms, buildings, etc., to find items to craft weapons and more.
2.Notably, Dina checks to see if there are any pills in a bottle, which is something you collect in the game as well, in order to upgrade various skills, like health, listening mode, and more.
3.The pharmacy that Dina and Ellie are in is also a direct location fromThe Last of Us Part II.
4.The show titles this portion “Seattle Day One,” which is something directly from the game, as Dina and Ellie start their journey into Seattle while tracking down Abby.
5.Dina and Ellie coming across the pride murals and flags in the street is something directly from the game as well, right down to them not knowing what the rainbows represent. In the game, Ellie and Dina also go into a queer bookstore after spotting the pride murals and flags.
6.The opening scene where Isaac (Jeffrey Wright) kills FEDRA agents is something added for the show; however, in the game, we do see FEDRA skeletons right when Ellie and Dina get to Seattle, like Ellie does in the episode.
7.Ellie mentions Apollo 1 while comparing the dead FEDRA agents to the members of the space mission. In the games, Ellie is obsessed with space, which is actually somethingAshley Johnson, who voiced and did the motion capture for Ellie in the games, is obsessed with, too.
8.Just like in the game, the music store Dina and Ellie stumble into is called “Valiant Music Shop,” and the logo for the store matches what is in the game, too.
9.And, Dina playing the drums while exploring downstairs is something that happens in the game, the longer a player explores the store.
10.When Ellie walks up the stairs, you can see a poster for Pearl Jam, which is also something Ellie sees while walking upstairs inThe Last of Us Part II.
11.Ellie playing the guitar and singing “Take on Me” to Dina is a shot-for-shot recreation of a scene in the game. In the game, the scene is sometimes missed because it’s not necessary to advance in the story.
12.When Ellie leaves the guitar behind, the shot mirrors a similar shot from later in the game.
13.The sweater that Isaac wears in this episode matches exactly what he wears in the game. Also, Jeffrey Wright did the voice and motion capture for Isaac inThe Last of Us Part II, so he’s reprising his role.
14.While interrogating the Seraphite, Isaac calls him a “Scar,” which is something directly from the game. The W.L.F., who are the biggest enemies of the Seraphites, call them Scars, which they don’t appreciate.
15.When Dina and Ellie enter the TV station, the W.L.F. bodies that are hung from the ceiling mirrors the same moment from the game.
16.The message written in blood on the wall from the Seraphites is a saying that Ellie and Dina encounter throughout Seattle on murals duringThe Last of Us Part II.
17.Ellie kills one of the W.L.F. members by stabbing him in the neck with her knife, which is something gamers do in order to complete a stealth kill.
18.Dina and Ellie running from a horde of infected and clickers in the abandoned metro tunnels in Seattle is a moment directly from the game.
19.When Ellie and Dina are trying to escape from the infected in the train car, Dina asks Ellie for a boost, and then she helps Ellie up through the emergency exit on the roof. In the game, Ellie and Dina boosting each other up happens consistently in order to climb over tall walls and more, in order to get to new locations.
20.The turnstile moment where Dina is almost bitten does happen in the game, except it’s Ellie who is stuck and trying desperately to get through.
21.The theater that Ellie and Dina hide out in is directly taken fromThe Last of Us Part II, right to the look of the outside and inside of the building.
22.Dina finding out Ellie is actually immune happens differently in the game than the show, in that Ellie’s mask cracks — in the game, they are dealing with airborne spores — and when Dina goes to take her mask off, too, Ellie tells her she’s immune.
23.In the game, Ellie and Dina actually have sex for the first time while hiding out in theblizzard in Eugene’s grow roombefore they find out Joel and Tommy are missing, and ultimately before Joel’s death. For the show, the couch moment between Ellie and Dina was split up between the “rate our kiss"moment in Episode 3and the sex scene in Episode 4.
24.Ellie telling Dina about how the burn on her arm was originally a bite also happens in the game, but it happens earlier. It’s also part of the couch/weed scene from before Joel is killed, and Dina doesn’t know Ellie’s immune at the time and thinks she’s lying.
25.And finally, inThe Last of Us Part II, Ellie has a much harsher reaction to Dina’s pregnancy than she does in the show. In the game, she calls Dina a burden and wonders why she even accompanied her to Seattle.
Alright, that’s all for now. Come back again next week for even more details from the next episode.
