The Reason Abby Killed Joel

You must be surprised because Joel had to die in a tragic way, which was killed by Abby. Before killing Joel, Abby was saved by Joel and Tommy from the zombies. Abby invites Joel to take refuge in his camp where there is Abby’s group. Successfully saved, it turns out that when Joel mentioned his name to the group, Abby immediately took a shotgun and shot Joel in the leg.

This is a very tragic scene because Abby not only shoots Joel, but she abuses Joel with a golf club. Ellie who was trying to save Joel was finally caught and had to see how Joel was killed with her own eyes.

The reason why Abby killed Joel was because Abby’s father had been killed by Joel when they were members of the Fireflies. Do you remember the time when Joel tried to save Ellie from the surgery performed by several doctors? At that time Joel killed the doctors. One of the doctors is Abby’s father.
