THE LAST OF US: Joel & Ellie Are In Dire Straits In New Photos From Episode 8: "When We Are in Need"

Tonight, The Last of Us season one returns for its penultimate hour, and as fans of the game will know, it should be arguably one of the most strenuous chapters in Joel and Ellie's story.

Tonight, on The Last of Us, Ellie (Bella Ramsey) faces her greatest challenge yet as she must continue to do her best to keep Joel (Pedro Pascal) safe and alive, while also fighting off a dangerous new threat in the mysterious David (Scott Shepherd) and his group of survivors. 

While we won't get into any further details about what's heading our way in episode eight, in the game, this is a pivotal chapter for Ellie and, based on the promo and latest batch of stills, it looks like the upcoming hour will be a fairly faithful adaptation, save for her trademark bow and arrow. 

The new stills also feature Troy Baker, who plays an original character named James. For anyone unfamiliar with his work, Baker is the original mo-cap actor behind Joel in The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II video games, so his cameo is certainly a welcome surprise.

His original co-star Ashley Johnson, who plays Ellie in the games, is also slated to appear in the series as Ellie's mother Anna, but she won't make her debut until next week's season finale. 

Check out new photos from episode eight, titled "When We Are in Need," below:

The Last of Us features Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Gabriel Luna as Tommy, Anna Torv as Tess, Nico Parker as Sarah, Murray Bartlett as Frank, Nick Offerman as Bill, Storm Reid as Riley, Merle Dandridge as Marlene, Jeffrey Pierce as Perry, Lamar Johnson as Henry, Keivonn Woodard as Sam, Graham Greene as Marlon, Elaine Miles as Florence, and Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker.

THE LAST OF US story takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.

They're surrounded by creatures doing the walk of life.

I like this show so far, but I am worried it might get repetitive.

@DocSpock - it already kinda is. Almost every episode repeats the same message to Joel (or to Ellie) in a different way: Joel is Ellie's protector.

In the game I felt it came far more natural, but that might also have been because I as the player was the guy who had the gun in his hand.

@bkmeijer1 - at least this episode should theoretically turn that on it’s head by having Ellie be Joel’s protector

@MyCoolYoung - going by the game it should, so that does have me looking forward to it.

The infamous David. I really hope they keep him as crazy and sick as ge was in the game. David was the only true villain of the game to me

A bit off topic but with Troy in this shot, with those eyes, he's still giving off Joel vibes.




Wonder if his character will be the one Showverse Joel (spoilers for those that didn't play the game) tortures.

Good show but to me it could use a little more interaction between the humans and the infected. I hope the infected don’t become a background prop like the walkers did in The Walking Dead.
