Owen being more about Will and the others’ safety over whatever Hawkins Labs was trying to achieve, the relationship between Will and Mike, or what have you. There is not a lot to highlight that wouldn’t be a repeat of a past recap. Highlights The Way Eleven and Mike Looked At One Another Acknowledging the boys have been established as nerds, was it ever noted before that they learned Morse code?.
Owens dead or possibly still alive but in hiding?
So no matter how many memories Joyce, Mike, or Jonathan bring up, all they get is the monster repeating that it wants freedom since they have Will tied up. Someone whose speech, at this point, is taken over by the shadow monster. Bullets do absolutely nothing and fire, it works but isn’t a smoking gun.īut, to learn what could kill the shadow monster, they have to talk to Will. Which isn’t a bad idea since, thus far, most human weapons don’t seem to be doing all that much. For, with the idea that the monsters of the Upside Down have a hive intelligence and the shadow monster is like the Mind Flayer – a being which considers itself superior to other species so it pursues dominating them, they figure if you take that out you kill them all. There they try to come up with some idea to destroy the shadow monster. Leading to the question: Why can’t Joyce have nice things? The Mind Flayer: Will, Mike, Jonathan, Hopper, Eleven, Joyce, NancyĪfter nearly everyone escapes Hawkins Labs, with Nancy, Jonathan, Dustin, Lucas, Max, and Steve in tow, they head to the Byers house. Owens who was watching the monitors, Bob ends up Demo-Dog food. Yup, despite everyone else getting out safely, sans Dr. So all Bob did was make things easier for the Demo-Dogs… idiot.īut, what is a high stakes situation without a sacrifice, right? In season 1, it seemed we lost Eleven to the Demogorgon in a sacrifice. Of which, from the few screens we saw, it seemed the people we know were the only ones left alive. Owens is in a security room – he can see all the cameras. Something that seemed unnecessary for Dr. So, Bob, without Hopper escorting him, strangely, heads to the basement, flips the switch and for reasons I cannot really fathom, unlocks all the doors.
Problem is, while the power switch being flipped fixes the electricity issue, to undo lockdown you need to know BASIC, the computer program. Thus leading to Hopper, naturally, talking about heading into the basement to flip the power back on. Which, as you would expect from a secret government agency building, when the power goes out, immediate lockdown for security reasons. But, bad turns to worse as the power goes out. The Demo-Dogs, as Dustin calls them, rip through Hawkins labs and leave dozens of bodies behind. Why Can’t Joyce Have Nice Things?: Bob, Dr. For if Billy got his attitude from his dad, I’d imagine he got some other preconceived notions from him as well.
Wait till Neil sees she is hanging with Lucas. Which, of course, seems ridiculous to Billy since Max is 13 but I guess because she is a girl, even if a tomboy, she needs a watchful eye or, in Neil’s mind, she’ll become like the whores Billy takes an interest in. Yet, if anything happens, he gets blamed for it since he is supposed to be their on-call babysitter. Something he, naturally, doesn’t want to do. He doesn’t cower or become like a little boy, but he definitely loses most of his mouth when his dad gets serious.Īs for the Max hate? Besides being the reason they moved, it seems the hate also stems from the fact Billy probably has to look out for her more than her own mother. And despite the bad ass Billy touts himself as, he gets on the defensive when it comes to his dad. The words I can use those is he has an aversion to homosexuals, is seemingly misogynist, and while protective of Max’s mom, Susan, he has absolutely no issue belittling his son and embarrassing him. It’s because his dad can only be described in words I try to avoid using. Though Max already explained things, we get confirmation this episode as to why Billy is so mean to her.
