From LauncherWP | “The Last of Us” recap: Henry, Sam and the “bad guys”
“The Last of Us” TV show employs flashback storytelling much in the same way the game did, jumping backward to provide essential context for the story moving forward. For this fifth episode, we flash back to see the downfall of federal military rule in Kansas City.
Kathleen is the woman orchestrating this method of murder and mayhem. If you thought we saw too little of Melanie Lynskey’s character in the, it was all buildup for her performance here. All we know about her is that she’s dead set on finding Henry, who is apparently responsible for the death of her brother. The episode opens with her interrogating a jail cell full of “collaborators,” snitches who worked with FEDRA, the fascistic military that rules over urban quarantine zones.
Henry and Sam hold Joel and Ellie at gunpoint in the dead of night. Joel, who we learn can’t hear well out of his right ear, sleeps through the intrusion, and Ellie needs to wake him up. Henry insists he’s here to help and asks Joel for reassurance that they won’t be harmed. Joel responds in the least reassuring voice possible. Henry isn’t the only person nervous when hearing this, and Ellie frantically insists Joel “has an asshole voice.
We find Kathleen brooding in her childhood bedroom where she grew up with her brother. Perry finds her and they share a giggle about him talking to her mom just to find her. Kathleen reflects on how Michael made her feel safe. It’s clear that Kathleen, Michael, Henry and Sam are all different kinds of love to be compared and contrasted against Joel and Ellie, and what love and protection means to different people.Kathleen asks Perry not to lecture her about forgiving Henry.
Morning arrives. Sam is now fully gone and attacks Ellie. Joel tries to save Ellie, but Henry shoots the ground, then quickly shoots Sam. Shocked at his actions, he points the gun at Joel and asks, “What did I do?” Henry shoots himself. The camera quickly cuts to Ellie’s horrified reaction, and stays with her as tears stream down her cheeks.
