Summary:
At the beginning of this episode you see Will mother rushing to school because Will is having a panic attack, he was surrounded by his friends: Mike, Dustin and Lucas. But what they didn’t know was that Will was being infiltrated by the Demogorgon. After he wakes up from the ‘’panic attack’’ his mom takes him home. After she measured his temperature, she sees that he is unusually cold. But when she made him a hot bath, Will said it’s too hot because ‘’it’’ likes it cold. Then you see Hopper and Eleven fight because she went out of the house and that is against the rules. Hopper ground eleven by taken the TV but Eleven gets so mad she trashes the whole house with her telekinetic powers. Nancy and Jonathan have this plan to get captured by the people of Hawkins lab. When they succeed they record their conversation with the man in charge. But he warns them that if this gets out the Soviets will take advantage of this. Despite that he confesses about Barb, Will and the upside down. After they were escorted out of the lab, the pair drove to Barb’s parents to let them hear the tape they just made. Will is acting strange so his mother called Sherriff Hopper. He sees that Will is afraid of something so he asks Will some questions but Will is afraid to talk. So his mother says that he doesn’t have to say anything, he can draw it. At first they don’t know what he’s drawing, they seem like some random lines but then they see they line up. After they line every drawing Hopper sees that he drew vines, and he runs out of the house. Hopper drives to the park and start digging a hole. After some time he finds vines and make a hole in them. He goes in the hole and finds another entrance to the upside down.
My opinion:
I think this was a very entertaining episode. A lot was happening so you had to watch very carefully. I think this also was an important episode because you get to know what exactly is going on with Will and you get to know a bit more about Eleven. I’m a bit sad that the episode ended on a cliff-hanger, it made me want to watch the next episode.
