So, actually, I have two possible theories. One is very weird, the other is weirder. Theory one, the best one I have: Dina checks the radio and hears that the WLF have been wiped out except for whoever's left at camp, and they go to them for medical aid

Yes, they just killed a lot of WLF, but not as many as the Seraphites did. In this theory they trade resettlement in Jackson to the WLF in exchange for saving Tommy and possibly Dina's life.

Theory two: there's a scene earlier in the game where a WLF soldier says that he thinks the trespassers are working with the Scars. Obviously this seems like him just being wrong... but what if Tommy actually did have some sort of deal with them?

The problem with that is I don't think Tommy would be in a condition to explain said deal, and also I don't think the Seraphites have the surgical tech necessary to help him.

Really, the choice to have Tommy shot in the head in that situation and live is just a very odd narrative hole. Yes, people survive those injuries, but not when they've been left for dead with two other critically wounded people

I find it unlikely you could survive an injury like that at all without advanced medical care of the kind only the late Jerry Anderson was equipped to provide before some asshole killed him

(I like to headcanon that Jerry was in fact alive after that scene for a while but the only person qualified to save him was Jerry Like what happened to Joey's surgeon character on Friends)

Like, it's just so transparently a shock thing. They clearly wanted Tommy alive not so much bc they weren't willing to kill him but to make Ellie "fall off the wagon" later, but they also wanted to make us maximally uncomfortable in the first boss fight

So the solution - have Abby inflict what in game mechanics terms and also 99% of real world cases was a definitely lethal wound on a character we like before you have to control her fighting the lead character we like - was inconsistent with having that character around later

It was extremely cheap, especially because the whole point of making it a headshot and not a body shot is we're all used to people unexpectedly surviving those

(Hollywood fudges that too Like the reason a gut shot like in Reservoir Dogs is such a dishonorable move is that without IMMEDIATE medical attention it's a guaranteed agonizingly slow death sentence)
