How did Joel not get infected in 'The Last of Us'?
The decision has been taken to avoid competition with the following week’s Super Bowl VII game between Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
What happened in Episode 4 of ‘The Last of Us’?
The fourth episode of the blockbuster HBO series primarily focused on the friendship between Joel and Ellie. They continued their journey in the car they found in Bill and Frank’s garage and are planning to reach Wyoming at the earliest. However, the tunnel that would have led them to the freeway was blocked by a lot of vehicles and Joel realized that this is a trap. As soon as he started to drift away from that place, they were attacked by two members of ‘The Hunters’ and were forced to get out of the car.
Fortunately, they killed them, but as soon as their leader Kathleen (Melanie Lynskey) found out about the deaths, she ordered her soldiers to find those who were responsible for their deaths and kill them.
Things are only going to escalate from here and ‘The Hunters’ might reveal how dangerous they really are. Can’t wait to see what happens when the next episode arrives early on HBO and HBO Max.
