Part II ends without any real conclusion: Joel is dead, most of Ellie and Abby’s friends are either dead or no longer willing or able to fight, and Ellie is left without any real cause. By the time Part III comes around, Ellie may have been able to direct her efforts towards a greater purpose.

We all know that the third act must return to motivations from the first, and Ellie could finally be back on track to making her immunity mean something. If the Fireflies have re-established themselves as a powerful unit, Ellie may be inclined to reconnect with them to determine whether a vaccine could finally be made.

If Abby and Lev were successful in their efforts to discover the freedom fighters, this could lead to another showdown between both protagonists of Part II. However, this time, they will be forced to put aside their history to save the world. Given the personalities of these characters, it is unlikely to be easy, and a narrative revolving around the lack of trust between Ellie and Abby would make for an engaging conclusion to the series.
