Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Nancy has sobering visions, and El passes an important test. Back in Hawkins, the gang gathers supplies and prepares for battle.
Our Take
This is a heavy setup hour that leans on El’s interrogation scenes, and Millie Bobby Brown does strong work opposite a chilling Matthew Modine. The Hawkins prep stuff mostly kills time, though the Nancy visions add real dread. It drags in patches but the emotional payoff lands, so stick with it.
