Recap of The Last of Us season 2 episode 5
A W.L.F. meeting reveals that when they were clearing out the basement of the hospital, they found something known as spores, which meant that the infection was in the air. This led to them sealing down the B2 section of the hospital, and the soldiers in there died as well.
The show then cuts to Ellie and Dina infiltrating the hospital to get to Nora. However, they end up running into a pack of stalkers, which leads to them getting overwhelmed. Thankfully for them, Jesse shows up in due time and dispatches the infected, saving the two, and reveals that he left Jackson with Tommy a day after Ellie and Dina escaped.
The three then head off into the woods to escape the W.L.F. soldiers chasing them, but then they run into the Seraphites. The Seraphites then shoot an arrow into Dina's leg, and Ellie asks Jesse to take Dina back to safety while she distracts the Seraphites. This leads to Ellie then sneaking her way into the hospital.
At the hospital, Ellie finds Nora and questions her about Abby with her pistol pointed at her. However, Nora gives Ellie a chase and eventually ends up in the B2 section of the hospital. As Nora starts dying off the spores, Ellie questions her about Abby again before she starts torturing her, and the episode cuts to black. It then resumes with Joel waking Ellie up in the morning.
What to expect from episode 6 of the season?
Going into the next episode of the show, fans can expect to see more of Joel since this will basically be a flashback episode. The preview for the episode confirmed that many iconic moments from The Last of Us: Part II are set to be adapted in this coming episode.
