The closing minutes of episode 6, "The Price," brought the story back to the present as Ellie makes her way back to the hideout. It looks like the finale is building towards a confrontation between Ellie and Abby in which the latter might come out on top.

Right after the release of the sixth episode, "The Price," HBO released the preview for the seventh episode, which has remained untitled for now. In that preview, Ellie makes numerous attempts to take Abby's life, but she has to face different challenges to get her revenge.

The finale for The Last of Us Season 2 will be aired on HBO this coming Sunday. Simultaneously, the series will be released on HBO Max for streaming as well. Therefore, if you missed the episode on TV, you can catch it at your convenience on streaming. Just ensure that you have a subscription to HBO Max to watch the exciting finale.

But no matter the exciting season 2 finale, it doesn't look like the episode will feature a surprising cameo like the opening scene of The Last of Us Season 2 did.


We had Tony Dalton cameo in The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 6

The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 6, "The Price," stunned everyone with a surprising cameo by none other than Tony Dalton, who also played the Swordsman/Jack Duquesne in Hawkeye and Daredevil: Born Again Season 1. Here, the actor plays the role of Javier Miller, Joel and Tommy's father. His scene is set in the 1980s, when Tommy and Joel were young boys.

Javier is a police officer who is known to beat his children, but no one does anything about it. But in this scene, instead of violence, Javier reveals to Joel that even he was beaten badly by his father, exploring the series' theme of generational trauma and the cycle of violence. Neil Druckmann and writer Halley Gross spoke about this scene in the Entertainment Weekly interview. Druckmann said:

"What Joel has done now is different. He used violence to protect his tribe, to protect Tommy, and now it's almost like there's something for them to relate to and they connect on this level. What the dad ultimately says is, 'I think I've done the right things, but I'm not entirely sure. I just know that I did things better than my dad, who beat me even worse.' His insecurity about that stays with Joel as well. Joel's doing the best he can with the tools that are in front of him, but he loves Ellie (Bella Ramsey) unconditionally."

Druckmann revealed that his becoming a father and not wanting to commit the same mistakes his parents did influenced this scene:

"As we kept working on that scene, it became about something else. Which is not only generational trauma, but generational repair and hope."

Then, Halley Gross, who wrote both The Last of Us Part II and this scene, added:

"It also provides us a glimmer of hope for the future for Ellie. We know Joel. We've spent a season and a half with Joel. We understand that this man has done horribly dark things and, also, when living with intentionality, risen above his nature. To me, what the arc of this episode provides is a platform to say, when we live with intentionality, we can make healthier choices, but what that requires is reflection. That requires Joel to look back at his father and his identity and say, 'I want to be that better dad.' What it's going to require of Ellie is some level of reflection of saying, 'This is who I am. Who do I want to be?'"
