@tophar01: Ellie sets out on a mission for revenge, in doing so she is clearly affected by the atrocities that she has committed and once on the farm, seems to give an honest shot at a "normal" life. Because of PTSD, she can't sleep, barely eats and can't stop seeing Joel get killed. She realizes until she takes care of Abby she will never get closure, and despite the cost, heads out again. In the final fight scene we get a flash of the porch, just before Ellie decides not to kill Abby. What we find out is that she is remembering the last thing she ever said to Joel before he died. "I don't think I can ever forgive you, but I would like to try." This is the first time since she left Seattle that she flashed back to a moment with Joel that was not him being killed. Despite all the pain, she finally want's to try to forgive.
