Stranger things season 1 episode 8
The boys are helpless as Brenner approaches Eleven and they are captured. El passes out, drained from the effort, unable to wake up. The agents corner them in the hallway, but El uses her powers to make the agents bleed from their eyes until they fall to their death. Brenner’s men find the boys and Eleven hiding in the school. Mike says she will not be like a sister to him, as he invites El out to the Snow Ball school dance and kisses her, revealing that he loves her. Mike tells El that everything will be okay, that his parents will take her in and she will be like family. Mike is talking with Eleven at the school where they are hiding out. The three lure the monster into the bear trap and light the monster on fire, but when the fire goes out, the monster is nowhere to be found. The monster pins down Jonathan, almost killing him, but Steve returns to the house and assaults the monster with Jonathan’s baseball bat. Suddenly, the lights flicker, signaling the monster is coming back. Steve leaves the house and gets into his car. Nancy and Jonathan stress that Steve should leave now as the Monster will come back. They lead the monster toward the traps, but the Monster escapes. He hesitates and the Monster breaks through the ceiling of the room. Nancy pulls a gun on him and tells him to leave. He is surprised to see Nancy, who quickly tells him to go home, but after seeing Nancy’s bandaged hand, Steve bursts into the house to see what is going on. Steve then shows up in a panic to talk to Jonathan and make amends.
The toy triggers another flashback where Sara is holding a similar stuffed tiger as Hopper reads to her in a hospital bed, as she slowly dies from cancer.īack at the Byers house, Nancy and Jonathan attempt to lure the monster into the house with their blood. Hopper notices a small stuffed lion laying on the ground. The shack has been destroyed and Will is nowhere to be seen.
Joyce and Hopper reach the Upside Down’s version of Castle Byers, where Will was hiding when Eleven contacted him. Inside the gate, Hopper recalls a memory of his late daughter, Sara, having trouble controlling her breathing after Joyce experiences some shortness of breath. Meanwhile, Joyce and Hopper set off to find Will in the Upside Down, putting on special suits to protect their bodies from the toxic atmosphere. The two are armed with weapons and set up a bear trap inside the Byers home to catch and kill it. Nancy and Jonathan are off to find the monster and end it once and for all.
