Pedro Pascal made his grand return to The Last of Us as Joel Miller for the very first time since his character’s heartbreaking death. In Touch recaps the ending of season 2, episode 5, and rounds up everything to know so far about the Game of Thrones alum’s future appearances on the show.

When you follow that through, it seems pretty clear that the flashback at the end of episode 5 is building up to something. The Last of Us is well known for breaking the mould with its standout episodes, some of which — think episodes 3 and episodes 7 in Season 1 — take us on journeys into the past.

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."
