The emotional and devastating journey of Ellie continues this Sunday with the premiere of the fourth episode of the second season of The Last of Us. Following the events that deeply impacted fans in previous chapters, the story is set to delve even further into the consequences of pain, justice, and revenge. As tensions rise among communities, factions, and characters, this week’s episode promises new revelations that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
On Sunday, May 4, 2025, Max premiered the fourth chapter of the second season of The Last of Us at 22:00 hours (Argentina time). The episode also aired simultaneously on HBO, with fans eagerly awaiting what the new chapter would bring.
The third chapter of the season was one of the most emotional and dark yet. It opened with a devastating scene: Joel's body resting in Jackson, while his brother Tommy mourned him. Three months after the infected attack, the Jackson community is trying to recover. Ellie is interviewed by Gale, the psychiatrist who spoke with Joel shortly before his death. Overwhelmed by grief, Ellie returns home to find Joel's belongings, leading to an emotional breakdown as she clings to them in silence.
In a poignant moment, Dina appears to console Ellie and reveals that she knows who killed Joel. Motivated by this revelation, Ellie expresses her desire to seek vengeance against Abby, the new antagonist of the series. However, when Ellie and Dina ask Tommy to support their plan to find Abby and her group, the Jackson council votes against their request, with eight votes against three.
Despite the council's refusal, Ellie and Dina decide to embark on their journey in secret. With the help of Seth, a character who previously clashed with Joel, they acquire a weapon and prepare to leave Jackson. Before departing, Ellie visits Joel's grave, leaving coffee beans as a tribute, a touching nod to Joel's favorite drink.
The episode also introduces a new group known as the Serafitas, survivors marked by facial scars. They communicate through whistling, adding an unsettling presence to the narrative. As Ellie and Dina ride through the rain, they reflect on their past, sharing an intimate moment that recalls a kiss they shared on New Year's Eve.
As the episode progresses, the tension escalates. Ellie and Dina come across the bodies of several Serafitas, indicating they are nearing Abby's territory. The episode concludes with Abby and her group, the Wolves, armed and patrolling the streets of Seattle, solidifying their position as the primary obstacle this season.
The fourth episode of The Last of Us promises to heighten the emotional stakes, exploring themes of loss, redemption, and the moral complexities faced by its protagonists. The narrative continues to unfold with each episode, captivating audiences and solidifying the series' status as one of the most impactful television events of the year.
Fans can catch the new episode on Max, available at 19:00 hours (Central Mexico time). The second season, which began on April 13, 2025, consists of eight episodes released weekly every Sunday. Following the premiere of the fourth episode, viewers can look forward to the fifth episode airing on May 11, 2025, and the season finale on May 25, 2025.
With the show's ability to explore the darkest corners of human emotion, The Last of Us continues to invite viewers on a brutal yet beautiful emotional journey, where each decision carries weight and every loss leaves a mark. As fans anticipate the next chapter, the question remains: who will survive in this unforgiving world?
