In both The Last of Us Part II and the HBO TV adaptation, it’s clear that Ellie has romantic feelings for Dina. She was awkward whenever Dina got close and flirted in a way that wasn’t subtle to anyone paying attention. However, in the video game, the two got intimate while they waited out the snowstorm that hit Jackson, Wyoming. However, in episode 2 of the second season of the TV series, Dina went on patrol with Joel instead of Ellie, which meant that the scene from the source material wouldn’t happen like in the video game.

In the third episode of the show, Dina and Ellie talk about their kiss while on their way to find and hopefully kill Abby. Instead of this leading to them making out like the game, it ends with Dina admitting that she wasn’t that high when they kissed, while Ellie smiled before going to sleep.
