Recap of The Last of Us season 2 episode 4
Episode 4 showcases Isaac's backstory as he defects from FEDRA and joins the Washington Liberation Front (W.L.F.). The episode then returns to the present time, where he is torturing a Seraphite soldier for information about where their next attack will take place. However, the soldier doesn't give the information up, and Isaac shoots him in the head.
Ellie and Dina then find a W.L.F. base but head there at night without getting spotted. They then find shelter, and as soon as it gets dark, they go into the base. They find W.L.F. soldiers brutally killed by the Seraphites and are then ambushed by a W.L.F. backup who starts chasing them. They then enter an abandoned railway station to find cover.
However, they are met by a horde of infected who attack them, and Ellie lets herself get bitten again to save Dina. The two then escape the horde and seek shelter in a theatre, but Dina holds up her gun to Ellie. Ellie then convinces her that she is immune and can't get infected, and gives her a few hours to prove her story.
A few hours later, Dina is convinced that Ellie isn't infected and reveals to her that she is pregnant as well. At the end of the episode, a firefight between the W.L.F. and Seraphites takes place, and Ellie finds out where Abby's friend Nora is stationed, teasing that she is going to go after her in the next episode.
