I dont think it was needed. I felt like Ellie went after Abby again because she thought that would stop her nervous breakdowns. If Tommy wanted revenge he would have asked someone else. He would not put Ellie in danger like that I feel. |
I think after seeing Tommy might have reminded her more of Joel (being his brother). I mean she moved out to a remote farm for a reason; to get away from it all. She was done, but had PTSD from seeing her friend and father figure brutally murdered in front of her. Who knows maybe Ellie might have just stayed in the safety out of harms way like old vets do, but still carry on the scars from the war left behind. And leave the rest open to interpretation.
I think it was a push she needed, or trigger that allowed for her selfishness to chase after and go after her friend/s killer at the expense of happiness of her family.
