The Last of Us Recap: Don’t Go in the Basement
This week’s action pushes Ellie further down a dark path from which she might not be able to return.
This means cutting through an unidentified building that may be filled with infected, a plan that is certainly, in Dina’s words, “reckless.” They pursue it anyway, their path leading them past a scene of slaughtered Seraphites who’ve been left beneath a mural depicting their prophet. Nora’s able to break free of the standoff and alert the others, but she finds herself cornered by Ellie and has no escape except through the elevator shaft leading to the dreaded basement from the cold open. On the other side, we’re greeted by a memory of happier times, as Joel walks into a sleeping Ellie’s room with a friendly “Hey, kiddo,” and the episode ends.
