"Feel Her Love" is the fifth episode of the second season of the American post-apocalyptic drama television series The Last of Us. Written by series co-creator Craig Mazin and directed by Stephen Williams, it aired on HBO on May 11, 2025. The episode follows Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Merced) on their second day in Seattle as they make their way towards the hospital to find Nora (Tati Gabrielle) to question her on Abby's whereabouts.
The episode introduces spores—the vector through which the Cordyceps infection is spread in the games—to reinforce Ellie's immunity. Several scenes were written to match the game, and Naughty Dog's audio department was consulted in adapting the Seraphites' whistled language. Critics praised the direction, cinematography, cold open, horror, Ramsey's performance, and Ellie and Dina's chemistry, though some considered the writing slow and contrived. The episode had 652,000 viewers on linear television.
