Episode Summary & Review

Summary

After a vicious attack at the Wheeler home, Mike and Nancy confront the cost of secrecy, while El and Hopper embark on a rescue mission.

Our Take

A tense, creepy hour that leans hard on horror atmosphere, and it mostly earns it. The Wheeler house material lands the best, though the El and Hopper rescue thread moves slower than it should. Worth watching, even if it feels like setup for bigger things to come.
