A plane brings Mike to California — and a dead body brings Hawkins to a halt. Nancy goes looking for leads. A shaken Eddie tells the gang what he saw.

“The horror and CGI this season has been fuckin’ amazing, this is the creepiest season yet, I feel. The stakes seem much higher, Vecna is absolutely terrifying and mysterious, kids are being killed left and right, etc.”
