Last week’s all-new episode of HBO‘s The Last of Us ended with a sweet surprise. Ellie (Bella Ramsey) seemingly flashed back to happier times in Jackson, when Joel (Pedro Pascal) was still alive. Promotional images and teasers for The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 6 seem to confirm that series star Pedro Pascal will be back for tonight’s episode, only a few weeks after Joel’s brutal murder on the show. So when does the next episode of The Last of Us come out? When can you watch The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 6 on HBO and MAX?

Based on the best-selling video games of the same name, The Last of Us follows a handful of survivors living in a post-apocalyptic America. Weirdly, their biggest problem never seems to be the hordes of zombie-like Infected roaming the world. Rather, the people on The Last of Us seem hell bent on killing each other.

The Last of Us Season 2 is all about a never-ending cycle of violent retribution. Early in the season, Joel was captured, tortured, and killed by the few survivors of his Season 1 Salt Lake City massacre. Now, Ellie and her girlfriend Dina (Isabela Merced) have tracked Joel’s killers to Seattle. Last week, Ellie beat one of Joel’s attackers to death and she’s still on the hunt for the rest.
