As Will Byers’ (Noah Schnapp, Bridge of Spies, Hubie Halloween) connection to the Upside Down deepens, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown, Enola Holmes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) searches for answers about her past and uncovers secrets about her mother. In Episode 5, Hopper (David Harbour, Black Widow, Hellboy) finds himself trapped underground in the tunnels beneath Hawkins while Joyce (Winona Ryder, Heathers, Beetlejuice), Bob (Sean Astin, The Goonies, The Lord of the Rings), and Mike (Finn Wolfhard, It, Ghostbusters: Afterlife) work with Will’s visions to track him down. Meanwhile, Eleven makes a shocking discovery about her mother, Terry Ives, and begins piecing together her origins. In Episode 6, Dr. Owens (Paul Reiser, Aliens, Mad About You) observes Will’s condition worsen—revealing that “The Spy” may be more literal than anyone feared. Classic moments include Hopper being rescued from the tunnels, Eleven’s emotional journey through her mother’s fractured mind, the hospital scenes that escalate the horror element, and the terrifying creature reveal as the Mind Flayer's influence becomes more visible. Other series favorites return including Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Max (Sadie Sink), Steve Harrington (Joe Keery), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), and more. Catch Tara & Andrew's reactions as the tension tightens, secrets unravel, and the battle between science and the supernatural hits a fever pitch.

The weeks are flying by but still dragging because now I can’t wait for Stranger Things Saturdays! Steve became my favourite character over the next few episodes. He really redeems himself.

The funny thing is apparently pairing up Steve and Dustin was just the Duffer Brothers pairing them up because they didn't know what to do with them in the first place

The image of Will screaming at the end of episode 5 has and always will terrify me. Seeing him just laying there convulsing, with the way his eyes look almost devoid of life, it’s so unsettling

Steve is such a great character. He started as your typical bully but actually had the ability to self-reflect and grow. In Season 1 when steve finds them at the byers he was going there to apologize to Jonathan one on one, Nancy just happened to be there. Which is really admirable, even though tbh I personally think the stalking photos warranted a confrontation because they were weird af no matter what way you put it.

But the *actual* saddest part of this season is what happened to Jane’s mom. It’s so fucked up. Not only did they drug her, not only did they steal her daughter and make her out as a crazy grief stricken woman, but they also actually drove her insane/trapped her mind in her body with the electro shocks. No matter what happens with the upside down, Brenner will *always* be the biggest monster in this series.

28:48, If you remember what Billy told Max in the car, "You know what happens when you lie." That meant he breaks things. I'm guessing he broke Max's skateboard in half and that is why she was wrapping tape around it.
