Oh, you thought Dr. Brenner was only around in those flashbacks, babe?
That day is today, it seems!
I want a lot of things, what can I say.
When Brenner makes his big reveal, Eleven makes a run for it because Eleven is not an idiot.
Eleven is taken by the guards and given a sedative, and honestly, Owens, how could you?
So whats the plan?
From September 1979 at Hawkins, to be exact.
For now, El is fighting the program.
Its trippy: She keeps repeating moments and every door she opens leads her back into the Rainbow Room.
When she looks in the mirror, she sees herself back at her age then.
Outside of the memory, theyre monitoring El.
Owens is worried it is too much too soon.
Shes going to drown in there, he tells Brenner.
Shes going to swim, he replies.
Its honestly a little from column A and a little from column B.
She starts freaking out and they have to use a defibrillator to get her back.
And then El takes that defibrillator and smashes it into Brenners face.
She makes a second run for it.
And those powers seem surprisinglystrong.
When she goes to get rid of Brenner, her powers dont come to her.
There is much more work to be done, but its clear that whatever Brenner is doing is working.
He wants to help her.
He reaches out his hand for her to take.
The door to leave is open.
She has a choice.
Papa, she says.
Daughter, he replies.
They walk back down the hall toward NINA hand in hand.
Especially because poor Hop is having a time and seeing this would break his heart a little.
We find him after being recaptured and hes getting the shit kicked out of him.
But thats not even the bad part.
But this right here takes it to another level.
His wife wanted a child, and so he went along with it.
And, well, we all know what happened with Sarah.
He buried his grief in drugs and alcohol until he let Joyce and El into his life.
He says he tricked himself into thinking they needed him when it was the other way around.
And look at them now.
It was the same with Sarah.
Everyone I love, I hurt, he says.
The guilt and shame this guy is carrying around are oppressive.
I need to hug a puppy, maybe?
Heres hoping Hopper will find some renewed determination within himself his date with that Demogorgon is nigh!
Back in Hawkins, the gang is starting to put a few things together.
They follow the trail of lights Vecna on the move until they end up in the attic.
Patricks been having more hallucinations.
Hes seen the clock.
He does not have long.
Jason and Patrick swim after him, but just as they catch up, Patrick gets pulled underwater.
He then comes shooting out and is levitating above the lake in a trance.
Jason and Eddie watch horrified.
More Strange Things!
They never get that number.

Open our minds?!
Theres an open grave in front of me, man!
Argyle is the best.
This feels like it is about something else.
Owenss agents come to check out the Munson trailer, and they areconcernedabout that crack in the ceiling.
I believe in monsters with teeth for a face more than I believe this.
