Sam as well as Henry’s story

The sniper showdown in the suburbs of the episode is an ideal illustration of how the show can transform gaming events into cinematic scenes. Joel gets in on the scene and attempts to stop the sniper using the long-range weapon, an action that is perfectly reminiscent of the gameplay in which players must do identical things.

This is followed by an unintentional exchange in which Ellie says she killed 2 people infected. It’s reminiscent of a section of the game, where you can’t go outside with an weapon due to the massive swarm of people infected beneath the city.

But the highlight of the episode actually is an unrelated to the play of a video game. Sam wakes up, Henry goes to comfort the young man and tell him they are safe and they do not have to be concerned about snipers in Kansas City because there’s no virus on the surface. Henry also draws a masked superhero on his pad to keep Sam calm, a heartwarming gesture that brings back how jolly the show as well as its source material.

Kathleen’s life story

Kathleen, Melanie Lynskey of Yellowjackets) is sharing her story about Henry in a poignant scene. FEDRA is the terrorist group located in Kansas City that killed her brother Michael. She is determined to retaliate.

Kathleen cannot choose but go after Henry even despite her brother’s pleas for her forgiveness. This is an extremely powerful scene, which ties in with the plot of revenge and cycle. Everyone is either a villain or a hero depending upon how they perceive it.

Perry (Jeffrey Pierce) is a new character who assists Kathleen when she tries to track down Henry in pursuit of Henry and Joel. His character as someone who is morally questionable can make this episode a less sombre than the earlier episodes.

He also helps her be more cautious in the plans for revenge. While it’s a minor detail but it shows that the author is trying to increase her likability as a person.

The Bloater

The Last of Us Episode five features Joel (Pedro Pascal), Ellie, and Henry (Lamar Johnson). They were infected by a mass of infected people that came out of a source. Bloater was among those suffering, and it turned out to be the most frightening scene of the entire episode.

This creature is not like those Clickers Joel, Ellie, and Tess have been able to stay clear of in the previous episodes. It is covered in an extensive fungal growth, which makes it difficult to remove. And even though it can’t see, it can still be shot . It’s just a matter of time until the fungus starts to destroy its armor plating, making it vulnerable to fire-based strategies.

The Bloater’s appearance on the show isn’t just an interesting addition to the show; it also gives a nod to a video game those who have watched the series may be familiar with. In the original video game, players take control of the character Sarah who goes down in an encounter with soldiers.
