THE LAST OF US PART II - The reason Abby killed Joel
42Jerry Anderson was a minor character in The Last of Us and a minor supporting character in The Last of Us Part II. He was the father of Abby and the lead doctor among the Fireflies who was trying to find a cure for the infection. A recording by him can be found detailing Ellie's immunity in St. Mary's Hospital.
Pre-The Last of Us
Jerry was a surgeon before the cordyceps brain infection pandemic, and has spent many years among the Fireflies attempting to find a cure. At some point, he had a daughter, Abby Anderson, and raised her as member among the Fireflies. Jerry was also an avid coin collector.
Events of the The Last of Us Part II
Jerry was in a meeting with Marlene. To his surprise, Ellie was indeed immune and he believed, as the group's lone surgeon, that he could somehow create a vaccine by extracting the fungus on Ellie's brain, though it would kill her. Marlene protested, begging him to find another way. Jerry admitted he could not see one. Marlene challenged him further, questioning if he could kill his own daughter to create the cure. Jerry responded that finding a cure would make everything he and all the Fireflies, including those who died, worth it. At that point, Abby came in, bringing her father food. Marlene, giving in, gave Jerry permission to start the surgery before storming out, insisting she was going to tell Joel because he had a right to know either way. Jerry, overwhelmed, sat back on the table. Abby comforted him, insisting, if it was indeed her he had to kill, that she would want him to if it meant the group's goal of creating a vaccine could be secured.
Some time later, Jerry prepared for surgery on Ellie. However, Joel fought his way to their surgery room and burst in. Jerry, realising what Joel was doing, picked up a scalpel and insisted he would stop Joel if he attempted to stop him. Despite he pleas that killing Ellie would save hundreds of lives, Joel attacked him, taking the scalpel and stabbing him dead before killing the other doctors in the room. Soon after, Jerry's body was found by Owen, Manny, and Abby, the latter of which cried for his death and promised to get revenge by killing Joel.
Jerry's death, alongside Marlene, led the remaining members to conclude that creating a cure was now impossible without a surgeon and the group soon disbanded. Abby would eventually avenge Jerry's death, alongside the death of the Fireflies' cause, four years later when she finally found Joel in Jackson and killed him after torturing him in front of Ellie.
