Once that trio emerges from Hawkins Lab, they all pile into cars and speed away back to the Byers’ place. They head toward the lab, where they meet up with Nancy and Jonathan, who have been searching in vain for Will, Mike, and Joyce. Meanwhile, Steve, Lucas, Max, and Dustin are Stand by Me–ing their way back down the train tracks, fighting as usual, when they hear the demogorgons off in the distance.

I teared up a little, just thinking about how he got Frodo over the mountain and then went through all this, and now he’s dead. A hail of bullets fired by Hopper isn’t enough, and Bob’s intestines are officially demogorgon chow. One last monster leaps out onto Bob, just as he’s made his way to Joyce’s line of sight. He’s saved the lives of Joyce, the kids, and Hopper, and now he’s made it to freedom! Sliding out after the monster has moved on, a broom nearly does Bob in as it clatters to the floor, alerting the demogorgon to his presence.īob runs for it, smashing through a set of doors and then yanking open another. Pressed against the wall, barely holding it together, our unlikely hero stands shivering and shaking. (It’s really the least he can do.) In some of the season’s most intense moments, Owens narrates directions to Bob, who tiptoes down hallways, ducking into a closet when Owens spots a demogorgon up around the bend. Owens valiantly stays behind to guide Bob via the surveillance screens. With the doors unlocked, Hopper leads Joyce and the boys out toward the front doors, while Dr. He’s also sweating like he’s lost in the Amazon, but Bob, nobody blames you. After a brief shooting lesson from Hopper - “Point and squeeze, easy peasy” - Bob heads down to the basement where he works a little bit of that finger magic and has the whole system operational in minutes. Luckily, Bob the Brain knows BASIC (Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) and can manually override the system’s locks and power.

Hopper volunteers to lead the mission to the breakers in the basement, but there’s one small problem: It’s 1984 and there’s a computer involved, which means that only approximately one percent of the population has any idea how to even turn one on. Owens carries building blueprints with him at all times, so he can show everyone exactly where they are, where the basement is, and how they need to escape.

The power goes off, which also means the building has locked itself down (surely not a fire-marshall-approved protocol) and needs a manual reboot from the basement. Owens head down the hall, locking themselves in a surveillance room.

In their attempt to get out of Hawkins Lab, Hopper, Joyce, Bob, Will, and Dr. But kudos to Joyce for doing what she’s gotta do and jamming that needle so deep into Will’s arm it most likely popped out the other side. It’s a risky move to just grab a bottle of a sedative and administer, oh, a totally random dose to a deathly ill child. Of course, the fools who try to take the elevator are promptly killed for their idiocy.īack in Will’s room, where they hear the commotion, Mike recognizes that as long as Will is conscious, he can communicate with the shadow monster - which means he’s informing on them. Despite some famous last words - “They can’t get through!” - the demogorgons quickly break into the control room and are soon freely roaming the halls, stopping for a small bite out of someone’s neck or abdomen. The monster is followed by a slew of his buddies, who hurl themselves against the glass in a positively Jurassic Park–ian fashion. Things pick up where they left off at the end of episode six, with Hopper gazing through the glass of the Hawkins Lab control room and a demogorgon clambering up out of the abyss. Aaaaand we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming, folks! We won’t talk about episode seven anymore, lest this recap become contaminated with its awfulness, but phew am I glad that’s over.
