Catherine O’Hara makes an unexpected entrance in Season 2 of The Last of Us, taking on a role that significantly diverges from the original video game. In a new development for the series, the town of Jackson introduces a therapist named Gail, portrayed by O’Hara, who assists Joel in managing his complicated relationship with Ellie.

Gail’s character is explained in The Last of Us Season 2

In the premiere episode of the latest season, it is disclosed that Joel has commenced therapy sessions with a therapist named Gail. As the episode progresses, he participates in an unconventional therapy session characterized by stark honesty and bias. Gail is not your typical therapist; Joel compensates for the session with marijuana.

It becomes evident that assisting him is part of her professional duty, yet she harbors deep resentment towards Pedro Pascal’s character. She even offers him a glass of whiskey, admitting that she is already quite inebriated. Additionally, it is revealed that her husband, Eugene, was killed by Joel, as noted by Decider.

During the session, Gail confronts Joel, stating, “You shot and killed my husband. 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 f****** angry,” as reported by Today.com.

Throughout the session, Gail also senses that Joel is concealing something from her, particularly after he momentarily slips due to his intoxication. The dynamics between Gail and Joel, along with his connection to her husband's death, are anticipated to have significant consequences for the protagonist and his relationship with Ellie.

Who is Catherine O'Hara playing, Gail, on the show?

O’Hara is a Canadian-American actress and comedian renowned for her performances in classic films and television series, including Beetlejuice, Home Alone, and Schitt’s Creek. In the second season of The Last of Us, she will portray Gail, a character introduced exclusively for the television adaptation. This casting choice has generated excitement among video game enthusiasts, as Gail is not part of the original material, presenting a novel and captivating addition to the storyline, according to Screen Rant.
