This episode perfectly balances action, story and emotional beats culminating in one of the most thrilling scenes in the entire show. This might be the best episode of stranger things, it's just beautiful I was nearly crying at the end. This episode is very retrospective and forces max to look in on herself, it's so beautiful to see a character who has been constantly put to the side line step up and have an episode like this. Sadie sink prices in every way that she's a brilliant actress. We also get a brilliant sequence with robin and Nancy which feels right out of silence of the lambs, this episode really was phenomenal.
