Stranger Things 1X4: Chapter Four: The Body (Patreon)

So, it feels like stuff is actually starting to come together this episode! I mean, I still have a zillion questions, but we're definitely getting somewhere.

It looks like my question of, 'If you die in the alternate reality, do you die in real life?' has been answered. No. At least not that I can tell. The 'Will' that washed up in the quarry was not even human. (Which Joyce seemed to know immediately.)

But Will is still stuck 'hiding' in the house. Thanks to Eleven, not only could Joyce hear him, but the boys too. So now, they seem to be back to believing Eleven. (And Lucas might stop being mean to her. Maybe.) And then Joyce took an ax to the damn wall of the house, but Will was gone and all she found was outside. Sigh.

However, Nancy got Jonathan to re-develop the picture and saw the same no faced monster things that Joyce described, so we may be on to something there.

I'm so so so looking forward to seeing Hopper at the lab next episode. I think I was right. He's totally gonna be one of the best characters.
