The last we see of him is when he is dragged off into the belly of the abandoned factory by some unseen power. Towards, the end of the episode, Nancy gets a tip about the rats, and coincidentally, Billy has an accident in his car near the location where the rats were going. Only the rats seem to be aware of this though, well the rats and Will, who is seen getting goosebumps now and then.Įver since the first season, Will has had a connection with the Upside Down, so without much to go on, we are guessing this newly unleashed force is from the same realm.
Right at the point when the excitement at the Starcourt Mall is palpable, the entire town blacks out and we are given a glimpse of some unknown force that has been unleashed. Secondly, all the rats in Hawkins seem to be headed somewhere. Firstly, the fridge magnets holding the pictures on the Byers family fridge keep falling off on their own.
STRANGER THINGS SEASON 1 EPISODE 6 RECAP FREE
The town is never quite free of its strange occurrences, and two of them grab eyeballs. Steve Harrington who won our hearts last season works at the ice cream stall there but he seems to be lucking out with the ladies. We also see Joyce, coping with the loss of Bob, who died in Season 2, and struggling to keep her business running, where she faces trouble due to the new Starcourt Mall which has opened.Ĭoming to the Starcourt Mall, this is the center of attraction for the small town and almost everyone seems to be visiting. The show takes its time to reintroduce us to the rest of the major characters as well, and we see Nancy and Jonathan are still together and working for The Hawkins Post, while Max’s brother Billy Hargrove turns up the heat with the ladies at the swimming pool where he is an instructor and a lifeguard. While Will does not seem interested in falling in love, Dustin surprises us because when he returns from out of town, he seems to have a girlfriend in Utah called Suzie. Lucas and Max are happy together as well, which leaves Will and Dustin to be the only singles in the group. It is a summer of love in the town and we see Mike and Eleven, or El, happily in love, and snogging away, much to the disapproval of El’s guardian, Sheriff Hopper. Before we dwell on the ramifications of this for too long, the showrunners expertly take our mind off it to more pleasant things, namely, summer in Hawkins, Indiana. We see how scientists in Soviet Russia tried to open the portal to this world and that it was part of a military experiment. When we return to Season 3, it gives us an intimate look into the core of the mystery surrounding the alternate, monster-infested universe that we are familiar with as the Upside Down. So, does the Season 3 Episode 1 of ‘Stranger Things’, titled ‘Suzie, Do You Copy?’, puts various wheels into motion and paves the way for more thrills, chills, and a lot of fun? Read on.īefore opining about the episode, it is best if we walk you through the plot. However, that’s not all, as the show teased that the monsters would be back and they might be bigger and scarier than ever, and this time, the monsters would not be the only threat as other interested parties might show up to the idyllic American town to get to the core of the mystery of the Upside Down.
Before the show released, we already knew that this season would be set in the summer months as the town of Hawkins sees a new mall, and we see our favorite pack of kids growing up to be teenagers.
