　　Now Playing: The Last of Us Episode 4 Breakdown: Evil Melanie Lynskey in Kansas City

　　You can watch a trailer for Episode 5 below, but be warned that it's full of spoilers for anyone who is not completely caught up.

　　The Super Bowl, meanwhile, sees the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles for the title. The game is set to kick off at 6:30 PM ET, and it should run for more than three hours. Given that, it makes sense HBO would look to put the newest Last of Us episode out early to avoid a clash and help give the show its best shot at reaching the biggest possible audience.
