Hopper pays another visit to Larry Kline, and he has questions.

After two seasons of wading around in the Upside Down and getting infiltrated with tentacles, he knows a bad feeling when he gets one, and the return of power brought with it a familiar dread that makes the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. There’s one audience member who isn’t relieved, and that’s Will. However, almost as quickly as it went off, the power comes back on, prompting cheers from the movie-goers. As we pan over the dark town, we see rats scuttling and bits of metal swarming into a giant mass. Just as soon as it starts, however, the power flickers off, and unbeknownst to the audience, it’s a Hawkins-wide outage. Steve (Joe Keery) has forgone college to sling ice cream at the Scoops Ahoy, which happens to have a back entrance into the movie theater that allows the gang into a screening of Day Of The Dead. It’s bright and shiny and, even better, they have an in. Mike arrives at the brand new Starcourt Mall to meet up with Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Will (Noah Schnapp), and Max (Sadie Sink).
