The Last of Us - Episode 5

Endure and Survive

Written by Craig Mazin
Directed by Jeremy Webb

Kathleen's people have taken control of Kansas City.

10 days later.

Henry (Lamar Johnson) agrees to help Joel and Ellie escape via tunnel system.

We learn Henry gave up Kathleen's brother Michael to FEDRA for Sam's medicine, hence why she's rather pissed at him.

After the resistance shows up, Kathleen is poised to exact revenge.

But a crashed vehicle sinks into the ground, giving licence for Infected to run amok.

Perry's head is ripped off by a Bloater and girl Clicker cooks Kathleen's goose.

At a motel, Sam (Keivonn Woodard) reveals bite mark and Ellie smearing her blood on wound cannot prevent him from turning.

Henry executes sibling and turns the gun on himself.

Joel and Ellie bury bodies and head west.

The monster inside

Will I miss Kathleen? Not at all, as she was awful.

One of the key changes is making Sam deaf and his Savage Starlight relationship with Ellie was quite touching.

Shit hits the fan in the last quarter and sequence briefly kicked ass.

For those who care, Adam Basil's Bloater suit cost $500,000 to make and was designed by Barrie Gower.

Even if Ellie's inability to cure an infected person isn't revisited later on, it adds another dimension to character.
