The Last of Us Season 2 episode 6 ending explained

Remember after Joel¡¯s death, Ellie was kept in a hospital to recover? That¡¯s where Gale came in to ask her a series of questions about her well-being. She also asked if the last time Ellie spoke to Joel was at the New Year¡¯s party, and Ellie said yes but she lied.

At the end of The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 6, we learn that after Joel pushed Seth and returned home, Ellie saw him sitting on the porch and decided to start a conversation with him.

Long story short, Ellie had been angry at Joel because after Eugene was bitten, Joel didn¡¯t let him see his wife, Gale, even though he had time before fully transforming. Joel had promised Ellie that he wouldn¡¯t kill Eugene right away, but he did and to Ellie, that felt like a betrayal. After confronting Joel about this, Ellie asked him about what really happened at the hospital and whether he killed the people who could have created a cure. Joel admitted that he did, because otherwise, she would have died.

When Ellie got angry, Joel told her that he would do it all over again if he had to because he would do anything to save her. Ellie thinks Joel is selfish, but to Joel, Ellie is nothing less than a daughter. He acted out of love.
