The brothers Joel and Tommy are portrayed by Pedro Pascal and Gabriel Luna, respectively.
The fifth episode of HBO’s The Last of Us just aired, and it was every bit as thrilling as the season has been so far. The episode, Endure and Survive, premiered exactly two days earlier than expected, but that in no way diminished the enjoyment of watching it. HBO produced a moving story about new friendships, love, and grief. HBO has just unveiled the upcoming episode’s trailer.
Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) have so far traveled to Wyoming in search of Tommy, Joel’s younger brother (Gabriel Luna). Ellie confides in Joel about what happened in the previous episode as the couple travels in the new trailer. Well, I guess it’s a lot more difficult than that, Joel says in response, demonstrating how their connection has grown throughout the season. The Miller brothers’ reunion, which many had been looking forward to, comes next. This seems to be one of the pleasant moments in a season full of melancholy ones.
The brothers have a difficult conversation about their common past, and it becomes clear from an away that the reunion isn’t exactly a bed of roses. Joel says, “Those things I did, Tommy, that you judge me for, I did those things to keep us alive.” Tommy responds with a pointed refutation, “We did those things,” and continues, “And there weren’t “things.” We committed murders. The head of Jackson, the Wyoming community where Joel meets his sibling, Maria (Rutina Wesley), is next introduced in the trailer. Maria’s relationship with Ellie and Joel is clear from the game, and she can be seen in the trailer giving Ellie advice about potential confidants. “The only individuals who can betray us are the ones we trust,” she cautions.
Episode 6 Will Aid in Better Understanding Joel
Episode 6 promised a little action as well as discoveries from Joel’s past that may help viewers better grasp his character. Episode 5 was an adrenaline-fueled run of both exhilarating and tragic moments. It will be interesting to see how Ellie handles the devastating losses from the last episode. It remains to be seen how long they stay in Jackson and how much assistance Tommy provides in the effort to create a cure. Watch ‘The Last of Us’ on HBO Max
