The Last of Us is written by Craig Mazin, best known for creating HBO mini-series Chernobyl and Neil Druckmann, who wrote the original video game story. Here’s everything you need to know about the next episode in the series and what happened in episode three.

What happened in The Last of Us episode three? 

Episode three told us the story of Bill (Nick Offerman) living infection-free alone in a secluded fortress town until, after four years, Frank (Murray Bartlett) stumbled into one of his traps. The pair end up falling for each other and staying in the town together over the next several years, befriending Joel and Tess to swap supplies.

In present day, Frank becomes ill and decides he is ready to take his own life, with Bill deciding to join him, content that they had lived a full life together. This leads to Joel and Ellie arriving in the town to find Bill has left Joel the keys to all his supplies, including the car which will take us on our travels in episode four.

What will happen in The Last of Us episode four? 

Joel and Ellie now have a car and are travelling across America, looking for Joel’s brother Tommy in the midwest. They are hoping that Tommy will use his firefly connections to get Ellie, who is immune from the virus, to a lab who can produce a cure.
