Makes sense. Also makes sense Joel would make no mention of Ellie, her immunity, or why he did what he did.
Again, as I explained earlier, it makes zero difference what Joel did or didn't tell them. I'm simply breaking down the situation logically...
- Who did Abby think her father was operating on? Why would any single operation require so many guards and so much firepower if not for someone/something incredibly important?
- Post-massacre, Abby spoke to the surviving nurses, seeing as they're the ones who described Joel's appearance to her. You're telling me the nurses didn't know who they were operating on and why? You're telling me that Abby didn't ask or care, if she somehow didn't already know?
- Never mind the fact that this girl was so important to Joel as well, that he basically committed genocide to save her.
After all of that, Abby & co weren't concerned with who this girl was? Because, IMO, there's no way the mystery/identity surrounding the girl wouldn't have been sky high.
Fast-forward to the lodge in last night's episode, and suddenly the situation is reversed. This random girl shows up out of nowhere
to save Joel, clearly displaying a deep love/affection for him, and Abby & co don't even question whether she
might be the girl who caused this entire situation in the first place? The girl who was the catalyst for all kinds of mystery, drama, and death five years prior?
It doesn't matter what the game did or didn't do. In conjunction with the aforementioned insanely ridiculous coincidence of Joel being the one guy Abby randomly ran into, basically in the middle of no where, outside the walls of the highly guarded town, I'm sorry, but by every measure it's all bad, unbelievably convenient writing.
