Amid the time skips, fresh feuds, and new characters, you may have been blindsided by one name in particular during The Last of Us season 2 premiere: Eugene.
Eugene may not get any screentime, but the deceased husband of Catherine O'Hara's psychotherapist Gail still deserves exploring. Not only does his fate pick away at an emotional wound that is festering between Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), but he's also the latest example of The Last of Us pulling a Bill and Frank-style switcheroo and giving a minor games character some serious narrative weight.
