His comeback marks a key moment in the storyline and hints that the show is starting to follow the plot of the video game more closely\u2014especially the storyline involving Tommy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"431\" data-end=\"469\"><strong data-start=\"431\" data-end=\"469\">The Show Begins to Mirror the Game<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"471\" data-end=\"710\">As the episodes progress, the show is slowly aligning with <em data-start=\"530\" data-end=\"554\">The Last of Us Part II<\/em> game. In the game, it\u2019s Tommy who runs off to Seattle, prompting Maria to send Ellie and Dina after him. This is what sets Ellie on her journey of revenge.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"1014\">Earlier in the season, when we saw Ellie heading to Seattle first, fans assumed the show had skipped that game detail and Tommy wouldn\u2019t be heading there. But Jesse\u2019s latest appearance\u2014and his mention of being with Tommy in Seattle\u2014proves otherwise. Tommy <em data-start=\"968\" data-end=\"972\">is<\/em> on a path similar to the one in the game.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1063\"><strong data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1063\">Show vs. Game: What\u2019s Different About Tommy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1065\" data-end=\"1292\">Still, there are some major differences. In the show, Tommy and Maria have a son, which adds a new emotional layer to his decisions. In the game, Tommy has no children and is more reckless\u2014traveling alone to face armed enemies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1327\"><strong data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1327\">Dark Fate for Both Characters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1537\">Fans of the game know that both Jesse and Tommy have tragic outcomes in <em data-start=\"1401\" data-end=\"1425\">The Last of Us Part II<\/em>. With the show now leaning closer to that storyline, it\u2019s possible we\u2019ll see a similar fate play out on screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Episode 5 of The Last of Us Season 2 surprised fans with the return of Jesse, played by Young Mazino\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":74361,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[2344],"class_list":["post-74360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-the-last-of-us"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
