Joel would not say something, however he seems uncomfortable. When Gail unburdens herself partway by way of their remedy session, we discover out why.
“You shot and killed my husband,” she says. “You killed Eugene. And I resent you for it. No. Maybe a little more than that. I hate you for it. I hate you for it. And yes, I know you had no choice. I know that. I know I should forgive you. Well I’ve tried, and I can’t. Because of how you did it. And looking at your face, sitting in our home, makes me so fucking angry.”

Why did Joel kill Eugene?
We do not have a lot info to go on but, however there are just a few clues. First, we all know roughly when Eugene died. Gail says it is her first birthday with out him, which suggests Joel killed him sooner or later prior to now 12 months. We do not for certain why it occurred, but it surely looks like a protected guess to say that Eugene was in all probability contaminated. That is implied by Gail saying, “I know you had no choice,” plus the truth that Joel hasn’t been ousted from the group for homicide.
The bigger thriller, nevertheless, is what Gail means when she says she hates Joel for how he did it. That situation is trickier to guess at. Did Joel kill Eugene earlier than Gail was sure he was past saving? Did he do it with the identical surly detachment he does every thing else? We do not know for certain, however we doubt we have heard the final of this thriller.
The Final of Us Season 2 premieres April 13 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.
