Overview[]
Will is rushed to the lab, demonstrating memory loss. Owens theorizes that the shadow monster is a virus which has spread to Will's brain and is controlling him, and that the creatures from the Upside Down share a hive mind and therefore damaging the tunnels will be lethal to the now-infected Will. Nancy and Jonathan spend the night at Murray's, who forces them to admit their feelings for each other. The following morning, the trio send the tape of Owens' admission to the Chicago Sun-Times. Upon returning to the Byers house, Nancy and Jonathan discover Will's drawings. Lucas and Max regroup with Dustin and Steve and the group attempt to lure Dart to a junkyard. Max apologizes for being hostile to Lucas, explaining that Billy's violence is a result of his father remarrying to Max's mother. To the group's horror, Dart arrives, flanked by a pack of adolescent monsters. The group is cornered until the pack unexpectedly runs away. Will discovers a location that the monster prevents him from seeing. Unaware that Will is being manipulated by the monster, Owens sends a team to investigate. The team is attacked by the adolescent monsters, who make their way into the lab.
Meanwhile, Eleven travels to Chicago, and finds the other girl from Terry's memories, named Kali. Realizing they have similar tattoos and were both experimented on by Brenner, Eleven and Kali consider themselves sisters. Kali has the ability to project images into people's minds and lives among a street gang, who seek revenge on Brenner. Eleven reveals that Brenner is dead, so the gang decide to kill the man who tortured Terry instead. Kali helps Eleven to hone her abilities by demonstrating that channeling her anger is the key to strengthening her powers. After Eleven uses her powers to find the gang's target, named Ray, the gang travels to Ray's apartment to kill him. Eleven begins to choke Ray with her powers, leading to him to desperately claim that Brenner is still alive. Eleven refuses to kill Ray after seeing a photo of his two young daughters, who are discovered at that same moment to be contacting the police, and refuses to allow Kali to kill him. The gang flees to their hideout and Kali insists Eleven either stay and avenge her mother or return to Hawkins. Eleven has a vision of Mike and Hopper's plight at the lab and decides to return while Kali and her gang escape from the police.
Back in the lab, the pack of creatures attack the lab, killing most of the scientists. Realizing that Will is a spy for the monster, Mike convinces Joyce to sedate Will to prevent the creatures from tracking them. Mike, Joyce, Hopper, Bob and Owens take Will's unconscious body to the lab's security room to barricade themselves from the creatures. The lab's power goes out and Bob volunteers to reset the breakers and allow the group to escape. Bob's mission succeeds, allowing Mike, Joyce, Hopper and Will to escape. Doctor Owens then stays behind to guide Bob to the way out but Bob is killed by the creatures after nearly escaping, devastating Joyce, whom he died right in front of. The survivors are rescued by Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, Dustin, Lucas and Max and return to the Byers house. Desperate to seek revenge on the shadow monster, whom they realize is equivalent to the 'Mind Flayer' in Dungeons & Dragons, the group theorizes that the Mind Flayer wishes to spread into this universe, and that killing it will kill all the creatures connected to it – including Will. Using Morse code, they are able to communicate with the real Will, who instructs them to "CLOSE GATE". The Mind Flayer finds their location and sends the creatures after them. As the creatures close in, one suddenly crashes through the window and lands on the floor dead. The door then unlocks itself and Eleven walks in having dispatched the other creatures.
After a brief reunion, Eleven and the group devise a plan to close the gate without killing Will. Hopper and Eleven head to the lab to close the portal (on the way seeing Dr. Owens who has been attacked and injured upon attempting to escape), while Jonathan, Nancy, and Joyce purge the virus from Will by overheating him in Hopper's cabin. To prevent the creatures from attacking Hopper and Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Max and Steve plan to enter the tunnels to lure the pack. Billy arrives at the Byers house, having been instructed to find Max by his father, and gets into a fight with Steve. Max manages to sedate him, and the group enter the tunnels to enact their plan. Nancy manages to release Will from the Mind Flayer's grasp by branding him with a poker. Despite the Mind Flayer's attempts to thwart her, Eleven unleashes her anger and successfully closes the gate, killing the creatures. One month later, Nancy's tape has exposed the lab, leading to its closure. Barb receives a funeral and Owens, who survived his injuries, forges a birth certificate for Eleven, naming her Jane Hopper. Mike, Eleven, Dustin, Will, Lucas, and Max attend their school's winter dance during which Max kisses Lucas, Mike kisses Eleven and Nancy dances with Dustin. In the Upside Down, the Mind Flayer is still alive, towering over the school and appears to be watching the group.
