What happened to Joel and Ellie? Where are they? Is the Cordyceps brain infection still a problem? Catch up with everything from Season 2 of HBO's "The Last of Us."

Season 2 of The Last of Us, which comes from co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann and finds stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey returning, picks up right where season 1 left
