The Last of Us: Season 2 - Episode 5

Feel Her Love

Written by Craig Mazin
Directed by Stephen Williams

At Lakehill Hospital, Elise Park tells WLF commander Hanrahan about how she sealed her son Leon in the basement after his team discovered spores.

Area is where the infected were taken and placed in quarantine when the Cordyceps outbreak began in '03.

Seattle, Day Two.

After confirming Nora's location, Ellie and Dina take a shortcut through a derelict warehouse populated by stalkers.

Jesse rescues them and flee the WLF, taking refuge in a park controlled by the Seraphites.

He came with Tommy, but split up to cover more ground.

Ellie creates a diversion so Jesse and Dina can escape back to the theatre, while leading lady discovers the hospital.

When Nora refuses to give up Abby, Ellie beats her leg (not face) multiple times with a pipe, presumably killing her.

In a flashback, Ellie wakes to Joel greeting her.

It's in the air

Props for finally introducing spores and although Leon 'cocooned' inside wall was pretty much Aliens, basement looked impressive.

Aside from weak dialogue, confused humour, omitting Tommy and toning down violence, Bella Ramsey's acting is getting fucking worse, embarrassing even.

She was okay in the first season, but totally unconvincing here.

Ignoring Abby's epic story, game contained three flashback sequences.

Two with Joel and Ellie and one with Joel and Tommy.

Will series take bites from all?

Tune in next week to find out.
