**Warning: Major spoilers for The Last of Us episode 5 ahead.**<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new week on The Last of Us<\/a> means a freshly broken heart. Episode 5<\/a>, what did we ever do to you?<\/p>\n

With but four days for us to recover from episode 4<\/a> of the HBO<\/a> show, episode 5 was upon us two days early \u2013 but we\u2019re definitely not complaining.<\/p>\n

The latest instalment acted as a second part to episode 4, which saw Ellie (Bella Ramsey)<\/a>, and Joel (Pedro Pascal) desperate to escape the hunters of Kansas City, led by the terrifying Kathleen (Melanie Lynskey)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, things only turned from bad to worse for them as they woke up with guns to their heads and trapped by two fugitives, brothers Henry (Lamar Johnson)<\/a> and Sam (Keivonn Woodard).<\/p>\n

Episode 5 saw our heroes finally escape Kansas City \u2013 but at a great cost. Safe to say, the pair of them will never be the same again.<\/p>\n

What happened in The Last of Us episode 5?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kathleen and her right-hand man Perry (Jeffrey Pierce) are holding a bunch of hostages in an attempt to find out where Henry is hiding out. Kathleen orders her entourage to hunt Henry down as he must still be in the city \u2013 and then orders them to kill the hostages.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we finally get to see a bit of where Henry and his brother Sam (who\u2019s Deaf in the show<\/a>) came from. Dr Eddlestein (John Getz), who was killed off in episode 4, helps the brothers to hide out, with Henry unpacking cans of food and attempting to raise his younger brother\u2019s spirits.<\/p>\n

Soon, though, the pair\u2019s food runs out and Dr Eddlestein is nowhere to be seen, so they have to make a break for it, witnessing Joel and Ellie\u2019s shootout when they arrived in town.<\/p>\n

They sneak into the same high-rise as Joel and Ellie and stumble across the pair, waking them up with their guns pointed at them. Henry assures the pair of them that he doesn\u2019t want to hurt them, and lowers his gun, introducing himself as \u201cthe most wanted man in Kansas City\u201d.<\/p>\n

The four of them form an uneasy alliance, with Joel and Ellie sharing their food. In return, Henry promises to show them a way out of the city in the hopes that Joel will protect him and Sam. Meanwhile, Ellie and Sam are becoming firm friends and at this point we\u2019re all naively hoping that can last forever. Note to self \u2013 never be optimistic with this show.<\/p>\n

They plan to travel through the tunnels to leave the city, and Henry warns them that the infected of the city were driven underground years ago \u2013 but he believes the tunnels are clear. Joel, being Joel, is not convinced but it seems to be their only option.<\/p>\n

Making their way into the tunnels, they find an abandoned daycare where Ellie and Henry convince Joel to rest a while. In a rare heartwarming moment, Ellie and Sam play games and read comic books together, while Joel reluctantly apologises to Henry for branding him a \u201crat\u201d. Of course, in Joel\u2019s world, that\u2019s a big deal.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the ruthless Kathleen is mourning her brother Michael and returns to her childhood bedroom. She admits she knows that Michael wouldn\u2019t want her to go after Henry \u2013 but insists there would be \u201cno point\u201d in forgiving him. So, basically, she\u2019s still insistent on hunting down a teenager.<\/p>\n

Joel, Ellie, Henry and Sam make their way up to the surface to continue their journey out of Kansas City. Henry assures them that no one is coming for them \u2013 a comment that ages very badly very quickly.<\/p>
