List of episodes
"Look for the Light" is the ninth and final episode of the first season of the American post-apocalyptic drama television series The Last of Us. The episode was written by series creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, and directed by Ali Abbasi. It aired on HBO on March 12, 2023. In the episode, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) arrive in Salt Lake City, Utah, in search for the hospital run by the Fireflies, led by Marlene (Merle Dandridge). A flashback follows Ellie's mother, Anna (Ashley Johnson), as she gives birth.
The episode was filmed in May 2022 in Calgary and Grande Prairie, Alberta. Ashley Johnson, who portrayed Ellie in the video games on which the series is based, guest starred as Anna, Ellie's mother; Mazin and Druckmann considered her inclusion important due to her proximity to the games. Druckmann had conceived Anna's story for the video games or related media but it was unused until the television series. The episode received positive reviews, with praise for its direction, cinematography, score, and performances of Pascal, Ramsey, and Johnson, though some critics found its pacing rushed. It was watched by 8.2 million viewers on its first day.
