HBO’s “The Last of Us” ended the first season with a bang on Sunday evening as Joel and Ellie’s journey finally came to a close… or did it? Merle Dandrige, who reprised her role as Marlene from the video game, spoke to TheWrap about reuniting with Ashley Johnson, Marlene’s big decision, how Joel’s choice may impact Season 2.
The opening of the episode flashes back to Ellie’s mother Anna (Ashley Johnson) giving birth to her. In addition to hinting at how Ellie possibly became immune, audiences also see a glimpse of the bond between Anna and Marlene.
