HBO’s show The Last of Us episode 2 came to conclusion with a tragic death scene that has taken fans to social media.

The Last of Us is a TV adaptation of a PlayStation video game with the same name starring Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller, who is a black market smuggler and weathered zombie-apocalypse survivor.

Spoiler, the episode 2 of the show follows Joel, Tess, and Ellie who escape Federal Disaster Response Agency’s (FEDRA) quarantine zone soldiers only to have themselves nearly killed by Clickers, which is a horrific stage of the cordyceps infection.

During their escape, one Clicker manages to sink their teeth into Tess, that resulted into her devastating fate.

Tess uses her last moments to give Joel and Ellie chance to run away by infecting the State House’s lobby in gasoline and igniting it upon the urrival of a horde.

After watching this heart wrenching scene fans took to social media to share their grief and surprising disgust over her death.

#TheLastOfUs SPOILERS for those who have played the game

Tess burning herself and blowing herself up to kill off a swarm of infected feels like a more heroic death than in the game trying to fight off FEDRA soldiers before getting gunned down herself
