1. El gets sedated 2. Flashlights pop 3. Patrick goes brr

What a surprise to see Brenner again. Master of gaslighting for sure. A really complicated relationship between him and El. A bit of Stockholm Syndrome going here. Not sure if El is just playing along at this point because there are no other options but it sure is distressing to address him as "Papa" after she's experienced having a somewhat of a better father figure (Hopper). Speaking of Hopper, what a great monologue from him. He felt a little detatched from his emotions when he was going through it and lamost seemed like he was not "acting" well. But the truth is, it's probably a good depiction of reality unlike his feet. At his state, I feel like I would speak like him.

Chrissy's boyfriend and his friends going to Reefer Rick's house is crazy irrational... Why would you walk into a known drug supplier's house to invade? I understand their whole purpose is to find Eddie but there's gotta be a limit to their stupidity. Also was not a fan of the plane scene. It was a little too much to the point it didn't feel like much of a comic relief.

We see that Vecna is connected to Victor's house so he probably has a back story too. There is a theory that the man we see in El's memory is Vecna but that doesn't sound very likely. Timeline doesn't really work. But I love the entire NINA sequence. Very eerie and well done. Sound effects/music have been popping off this season. Love the whole Victor's house sequence. Very well done. The mystery element of figuring out who or what Vecna is really added to this episode.

Love this episode! Strong follow up to the previous banger!
