So wait, when you say she is going around looking for random Joels to murder, does she not know what he even looks like? Does she get confirmation or what is that about?

She's looking for someone named Joel. That's all she knows is that his name is Joel. No picture to a face or anything.

Abby is about to get her face ripped off by a zombie. She's completely helpless and Joel blows its head off and literally saves her life completely. Tommy, who is helping Joel save Abby in a big sequence, says his name when they're trying to escape and Abby believes this is the Joel she's looking for.

Having watched the video, it plays out that Abby is convinced this is the same Joel for literally no reason. She shotguns him in the knee and demands that she tell him who she is. Joel just looks absolutely baffled for a while, like he's actually thinking hard about who she could possibly be for like 10 seconds, before ultimately telling her to give him a speech and just kill him. She hits him in the head and knocks him out with the golf club and tells him that he doesn't get to rush this, and orders a tourniquet to be put on his knee.

Ellie hears his screams of anguish as he's literally being tortured later as she looks for him. And then Abby kills him after forcing Ellie to watch. Maybe when they flash back to show it from Abby's point of view, she tells him more about who she is?

But for right now, we played as a random person who kills Joel for no reason and we have no idea why. And we will continue to play as her later in the game, despite how sadistic she is in killing Joel without context.

Edit: Actually, after she shotguns him in the leg, she says his full name and he doesn't... deny it's him? I guess? But she still shotguns him in the leg without any confirmation that he's the same Joel.
