Listen Later

This week, Look for the Light dives into Episode 4 of The Last of Us, "Please Hold to My Hand", as Joel and Ellie’s road trip takes a deadly detour into Kansas City. With no infected in sight, it quickly becomes clear—it’s people they should be afraid of.


We break down:

- Joel and Ellie’s growing bond, from pun books to coffee debates.

- The brutal ambush that forces Ellie to take a life-altering step.

- Kathleen’s ruthless hunt for Henry and what it reveals about rebellion.

- The game-accurate laundromat shootout and its emotional fallout.

- Joel’s past as an ambusher and the chilling silence when Ellie asks if he’s killed innocent people.


And of course, we’ll discuss that final moment—Henry and Sam’s arrival and what it sets up for next week.
