Here's where to watch The Last Of Us episode 9 so you can see what happens to Joel and Ellie (Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey) as their journey comes to an end in the season one finale.
If you've missed out on it so far, The Last Of Us is a drama based on the hit PlayStation game of the same name. Like the game, the TV series takes place in a version of society that's been completely transformed by a mutated form of the cordyceps fungus which has transformed vast swathes of the population into zombie-like creatures. If you've not been watching episode by episode, don't read on; instead, check out how you can watch The Last Of Us episode 1 for free so you can follow the story from the beginning.
Joel and Ellie are back out on the road after the harrowing encounter with David (Scott Shepherd) and his cult in Silver Lake in episode 8. They're still committed to linking up with the Fireflies in Salt Lake City, Utah, and are nearing the end of the journey they set out on all those months ago.
