LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: This week viewers got to see Episode 5 of ‘The Last of Us’ pretty early and HBO took a wise decision by not taking directing competition with the Super Bowl LVII. Last week’s episode laid a strong foundation for an action-packed story and the fifth episode didn’t disappoint. ‘Endure and Survive’ introduced us to the brutality of ‘The Hunters’ and its leader Kathleen (Melanie Lynskey). On the other hand, we also saw two new characters in the form of Henry and Sam. The brothers have been together since The Hunters took control of Kansas City and didn’t want to be a part of this so-called revolution.

They have been running and getting away from Kathleen. Meanwhile, Joel and Ellie have been doing the same for a while and team up with Henry and Sam. However, things get dangerous for all of them because Kathleen and her group manage to find them and we thought they it might be the end of the road for some characters. But a truck crashes on the ground and gives a way for the infected to crawl up, including the Bloaters.
