Based on the PlayStation Game series from Naughty Dog
Showrunner: Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann
Episode Written by: Craig Mazin
Episode Directed by: Neil Druckmann
Synopsis for The Last Of Us Episode 2 "Infected"
In Jakarta, Indonesia, in 2003, Ibu Ratna, a professor of mycology, is brought in by the army to examine a body bitten by a co-worker in a wheat milling facility and infected with cordyceps. The authorities are looking for a cure to prevent the spread of this emerging outbreak, but after her shocking discovery, her advice is simple: Start bombing the city and everyone in it!!
In the present, after escaping the quarantine zone, Ellie has questions to answer after it is discovered that she is infected. She explains to Joel and Tess that she is immune and is being transported west in hopes of being used to find a cure by the Fireflies.Searching for a way through the city to the waiting Fireflies at the Boston State House, they discover their preferred route, the “long-way around”, is littered with newly infected.
Looking at the mass of infected from on high, Tess explains to Ellie how they are connected through the mycorrhizal network or fibres, to try and warn her that her immunity doesn’t stretch to being ripped apart. The threesome must now cut around the infected through the Bostonian Museum, a shorter route, but one that Joel and Tess are apprehensive about.
Entering the museum, there are signs of the presence of a “clicker”, an infected that is blind but uses sounds and vibrations to locate its victims. Moving slowly, and with care, they are close to making their way to safety when they are attacked by two clickers. As Joel and Tess struggle to fight the clickers off, they finally manage to kill them, but not before Ellie is bitten again and Tess injures her ankle.
After bandaging themselves up the trio arrives at the State House only to find the Fireflies slaughtered by one another after one member was infected. Seemingly their mission is short-lived as Joel believes they must head back to the quarantine zone. But Tess’ mood begins to change, revealing she was bitten on the neck, while Ellie's bite begins to heal, showing her immunity. Debating what to do, one of the infected Fireflies that has turned is shot by Joel, which alerts many others to their location through the fungus tendril network.
With little time remaining as the hoard charges towards the State House and the infection begins to take hold of Tess, she pleads with Joel to take Ellie to their contacts Bill and Frank who will deliver her west to the Fireflies and to keep some hope alive. She manages to convince him to escape with Ellie while she remains.
The horde runs into the State House after Joel and Ellie, ignoring Tess, who is struggling to ignite the gasoline and grenades cocktail with her lighter. As more infected pile into the State House one infec...

Synopsis for The Last Of Us Episode 1 "When You’re Lost In The Darkness"
In 2003, Joel Miller’s birthday with his daughter, Sarah, is turned into a nightmare as a fungal pandemic hits their hometown of Austin, Texas turning its victims into bloodthirsty attackers. As the fungus starts to spread, Sarah, Joel and his brother Tommy flee into the chaos, leading to dire consequences. After escaping an infected “runner”, Sarah is killed by a soldier who shoots her believing her and Joel to be infected. As the soldier goes to finish off Joel he is saved by Tommy.
Twenty years later, after the planet has been ravaged by the fungal outbreak, life is harsh and desolate for the survivors in this new world. Joel lives in the Boston quarantine zone managed by the Federal Disaster Response Agency (FEDRA), as a smuggler with his partner Tess. Confined within the walls of the quarantine zone and subject to martial law, they try to source a car battery to leave the city in search of Tommy who has dropped out of contact from his location in Wyoming. But the local dealer, Robert, has instead sold the battery to the Fireflies, a rebel group that opposes FEDRA. Joel and Tess head to confront Robert.
As the Fireflies’ leader in Boston, Marlene, begins to enact a new mission to move a valuable asset, a young girl named Ellie, from Boston. Her attempts to secure transport out of the city with Robert goes awry and she is injured in a shootout. Arriving at the Fireflies’ headquarters, a wounded Marlene pleads with Joel and Tess to take young Ellie to the Massachusetts State House. Reluctantly Joel and Tess accept the additional burden to their plans in exchange for supplies and a fully gassed up working vehicle.Sneaking past the heavy FEDRA security through no-man’s land, the group of three are caught by a soldier. He tests each of them for infection but when Ellie stabs him, he tries to shoot her. With flashes to the death of his daughter, Joel protects Ellie, tackling the soldier to the ground and beating him to death.
In the violent aftermath, Tess realizes Ellie is infected. While Ellie promises them that she will not turn, there is little time to debate the situation. As they make a break from pursuing FEDRA soldiers, into a biological contamination area, little do they realise that their new mission could change everything.
In Joel’s empty apartment a song plays on the radio an 80s coded message of impending trouble.

Before the event, at a family dinner, Yorick, Beth, Hero, Jennifer and Dean have a fraught meal when Yorick tries to share his new performance with his parents and sister. Failing to get the reaction he expects from Hero, he baits her by revealing she’s got a new boyfriend. Making the night even more uncomfortable, Hero reveals that her new partner is already married with a baby on the way but why would her parents be concerned when everyone knows her father is sleeping with his teaching assistant. Jennifer abruptly ends the meal and Yorick angrily sends the drunken Hero home with Sam.
In the present day, while awaiting an attack by the Daughters of the Amazon on the town of Marrisville, Hero learns that the government has fallen and the president has been killed in the insurrection. The next day the Amazons begin their attack on the town and they soon realise the former prisoners are ready to defend their home. While the two sides are occupied Yorick, Doctor Mann and Ampersand make their escape and 355 goes to help the former prisoners. But Hero catches up with them, discovering that her brother is alive, and informs Yorick of their mother’s death. She allows her sibling to escape but does not follow.
As the battle of Marrisville intensifies Nora calls for a surrender on all sides and her group leave with their tails between their legs. Roxanne confronts Nora but she stands up for herself knowing an abuser when she sees one and puts an end to Roxanne’s control with a bullet to the head as the rest of the group move to support their new leader “Victoria”!
Meanwhile back in Washington Jennifer and Beth gather supplies from the Brown family home and meet up with Sam. Before they can escape the city the Culper ring surrounds the house and takes them into custody.
Agent 355 rejoins Yorick and Doctor Mann with a new mission from the Culper Ring. They’ve been given supplies, a working car and coordinates to return to 355’s former handler Fran. The group takes to the road.
