Listen, Im aware this isnt some big reveal.

Thanks to that creepy doll and the magazine-cutout note signed by Enzo, Joyce and Murray know theres hope.

Who cares who sent the note theres no way theyre not going to do something about it.

But you know what I mean.

Friend or foe, theyre coming for Hopper.

Heres the thing: Hopper might be alive, but only barely.

We get a look at whats happened to our chief, and its, uh, not great.

They want him to give up Joyces name, but Hopper never breaks.

You want to die for this woman?

But folks, they dont know he would!

Of course he would die for this woman!

So thats fun and cute.

It has to be a signal from him.

All they can do now is call the number on the note.

Only then will he send Hopper back to them.

They have two days.

Shes yelling at this Enzo guy and uses a slang term equivalent to calling cops pigs.

It turns out Enzo is a prison guard in Kamchatka whom Hopper bribed.

Something tells me nothing about this will be easy, but, you know, one can hope.

Since Chrissy Cunningham was found dead in Eddie Munsons trailer, things have been spiraling.

Since Eddie took off, he is clearly the No.

Thankfully, Max was right across the way the night Chrissy died.

And you know what?

On this show, that makes total sense.

Theyre all like, Try mewhich, sidenote, is kind of a badass thing to say.

They know Eddie is innocent.

and finds the same grandfather clock Chrissy saw, this time in a coffin.

Zombie people chant Murderer!

He finds himself in a deep grave with the corpse of the guy he killed.

And then Vecna shows up.

He remains very unpleasant to look at.

When Fred asks what he wants, he tells him to join me.

We see Fred run out into a deserted road, and its not long before hes levitating.

His eyes are pulled into the back of his head.

Its over so quickly.

Now why did Nancy leave Fred alone in the first place?

Well, she was trying to get information from Eddies uncle.

They, too, were missing their eyes.

Victor Creel is a real lead one that could end up helping Eddie.

It is the silver lining in all of this.

Well, the silver lining for us.

There is no silver lining for Fred Benson.

More Strange Things!

Shes friends with Angela!

She parties at the roller rink!

They videotape the entire thing.

El hides with embarrassment but then decides to demand an apology from Angela.

Instead, Angela decides to make fun of El for having a dead dad because Angela is a monster.

And so our El, unable to control her rage it feels so primal, doesnt it?

No wonder when Mike runs up yelling What did you do?

we flash back to that bloodbath in the lab with Brenner asking El the same thing.

This is not good for anyone!

These assholes should know what happens when you mess with a girl with telekinetic powers!!

Whats up with Will and his painting?

And also his general mood?

Is he a good guy, or should we be worried?

He gathers the basketball boys to go freak hunting.

Lucas is going to have some problems here.

Does anyone care about Jonathan being so angsty about his relationship with Nancy?

Not even Nancy seems that concerned!

Nancy doesnt strike me as that kind of girl, but okay.

If this is the end of Nancy and Jonathan, I will not be heartbroken about it.

Is that because hes still in love with Nancy?

Now that I would beveryinterested in.

Its time the babysitter got his big hero arc, baby!

Truly living for how jealous Steve is that Dustin has another older male friend in Eddie.
