The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 4 Recap: Ellie – Dina’s love, pregnancy, and the threat of zombies|
Even when the world has ended and zombies are in hell, some TV cliches never change. Like if a girl suddenly vomits in an episode, then by the next episode it is confirmed who is pregnant. Exactly the same happens with Dina this time. In the last episode, when Dina saw the dead bodies, her reaction was a bit too strong. Now I understand because in this episode, who checks by taking a pregnancy test from a drugstore in Seattle… and all of them come out positive.
But Dina doesn’t tell Ellie anything immediately. Dina remains silent until both of them reach a safe place after escaping the attacks of wolves and zombies. When Dina finally reveals that she is pregnant, the relationship between her and Ellie becomes even deeper.
Next level of Ellie and Dina’s bonding
The connection between these two is shown to be even stronger in this episode. Ellie’s sarcasm and Dina’s quick wit are a perfect pair. Ellie’s line: “Shout if something tries to kill you,” and Dina’s reply: “That’s the plan.” A very badass couple vibes. The music store scene was also super emotional, where Ellie sang Take On for Dina in an acoustic version. It was such a soulful moment that even the sunshine was casting a soft light on both of them.
