Warning! This article contains minor spoilers for The Last of Us episode 6 and The Last of Us Part 2. 

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us episode 6 features a bunch of nods to Part 2 of the PlayStation game in which it's based, from the self-sufficient settlement in Jackson to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dina's blink-and-you'l𓂃l-miss-it cameo. A🍃nother is the introduction of Shimmer,𝕴 Ellie's horse from the playable sequel.

After arriving in Jackson, Joel (ಞPedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) are shown around the commune by Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and his wife Maria (Rutina Wesley). During the tour, the foursome stumble across the stables, leading Ellie to spot a cute, little foal peeking out from one of the stalls. 

"That's our newest one, couple months old. You wanna pet her?" Maria says♛.

"Yeah, what's her name?" El💛lie asks as she'd excitedly runs over. "Shimmer," Maria replies. 

"Shimmer. You're so beautiful," Ellie adds as she lovingly presses her face to ꧟the animal's nose.&n𒈔bsp;

It's an adorable moment, made all the more sweet know⛦ing that Ellie is assigned Shimmer in The Last of Us Part 2. Most notably, she's ridden by Ellie – and Dina – as the pair set out to explore Seattle. The horse doesn't actually feature in Part 1, but showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann must have not wanted to wait to weave her into the story.

When episode 6, titled 'Kin' aired, fans of the games wasted no time rushing to social media to react to the reference. Given Shimmer's fate in Part 2, which we won'ඣt go into here, many of the tweets were emotionally charged. Check out what viewers made of the moment below...

The Last of Us continues on Sunday, February 26 on HBO and HBO Max in the US, and Sky Atlantic and NOW the following day in the UK.
