THE LAST OF US EPISODE 9 RECAP
Episode 9 of The Last Of Us, titled “Look For The Light,” opened with a flashback to Ellie’s birth, the point at which her journey really began.
Ashley Johnson, who provides Ellie’s voice in the video game, portrays her mother Anna. Anna was attacked by an infected runner who bit her while she and Ellie were still attached to her via the umbilical cord, which is how Ellie acquired immunity to the Cordyceps infection.
A few weeks after Joel and Ellie’s ordeal with David’s cannibalistic group and that heartbreaking reunion scene between Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, we pick up Joel and Ellie’s journey in the present day of the program.
They’ve made it to Salt Lake City, where the Fireflies’ research facility is located, where they hope to develop a treatment for the infection.
The two are ambushed and captured by the fireflies following a heartbreaking encounter with a giraffe.
Joel, who was knocked unconscious during the battle, awakens to find Ellie being prepared for surgery, which she is not likely to survive because her brain will need to be removed for analysis.
Joel takes matters into his own hands and turns on the fireflies, murdering everyone in his path, including the doctor ready to execute the procedure, out of a lack of desire to lose another daughter-like figure.
Joel is successful in saving Ellie, but in doing so, he may prevent mankind from ever discovering a cure for the Cordyceps virus and alienate Ellie, who thought it was her destiny to die for the benefit of humankind.
